i just bought a 1993 eclipse GS 2.0 non-turbo and im running in to problems and im lookin for advice.

im planning on really puttin money into it

1 problem is i took it out to a straightaway to see how fast it went it went up to 109 but the second time it only went to 90 dos it have a government chip in it?

no, these dont have a chip in them. 90 is pretty low for a top speed, then again so is 109. my old 92 galant with 102hp at least managed 118mph top speed, so a 2.0L eclipse should be faster than that. i dunno, sounds like something else is up with that car. is it in good condition? any other issues with it? pics?

Does it have a manual or automatic trans? If manual the clutch could be slipping a little, Just a thought...

its a hard shift its automatic it had thick oil from prevous owner but i changed that quick my friend ( whos a little nutty) said i need to tweek the air and fuel mixture cuz its slow on reving idk? but it has 157k on the body and 38k on the motor so its pretty new. all in all its a good car but i think its sluggish. wat i mean on shifts hard the first and second gear r long winded and when they do shit it lunges forward. if u got any ideas on how to fix it im all ears

no no pics or vids im gettin those tomarrow to put on-.- now i just have to find a vid recorder

:00000732:

check the pinned FAQ topic for a discussion on the end clutch. that could be the problem

tnx for the tip i read it and it was very insitfull but my car need to warm up idk if yours has to as well but wen i first start it up it will shift hard but after about 10min. of drivin it gos normal u can still tell that the gears r long winded but it dont lung as it usally dos im getin a vid of it to post so u know what i mean.

ok this is a link to my photos and vids i took for my car when i took these vids the car had been runing for a bit so it was hot so the hard shifts and lagg in shifts wernt as powerful as they really r he gear is right when it gos to 30 so if u whatch them thats the time u should listen closly ill add another 1 tonight when the car cools down

government


Rofl. The government is watching you and they don't like it when you speed;)

Just a thought. I have personally test driven a 1991 Eclipse GS Auto, and it was slow as balls. It was at a dealership, that claimed that it was in perfect running order, but weather that was true or not is unknown to me.

congrats on the 1g eclipse. :00000732:

i have a 1g eclipse 2.0 non turbo with some shit done to it. basic bolt-ons, rims, OEM interior/exterior upgraded light bulbs (almost h.i.d.) blah blah blah

things to notice:

oem clutch is GARBAGE
engine mounts can go on you so get prothane motor mounts.
(depending on how hard you drive your car)
These engine blocks will handle power if you ever decide to make your nonturbo into a turbo gs-t motor which is not that bad to do. just have a mix of oem/aftermarket parts for i think arouns 1200 and you can have a bolt on kit (turbo)

um what else did i manage to break on my eclipse that you should know about? hm....axles wore on me and will make clicking sounds when they decide to go on you. (if making a right or left hand turn they will go click click click)

gets okay gas mileage.....

thats about it.

and oh yeah you got a dsm so congrats!

shit, i hit 135 racing my boy in his honda hatch speed? haha

wats a dsm? agin i have no clue about these type of cars if anyone know a good proformance chip for these car id like to know?

it was kick ass it had alot of power and speed its just when i went up to 109 that it went halve ass on me and idk y all i did was go to 6k (6.5 tops) if a turn off the OD its a little better just knowin my car isnt runin like it should it agrivates me andnot knowin wats wron is more agrivatin ahhhhhhhhhhh <_<

DSM = Diamond Star Motorsports, the merge between Chrysler and Mitsubishi. So that means you :)

no, there are no "chips" you can install in these cars.
