A Little bit 'bout HidekiPeople that know me, know that I'm not your usual Eclipse tuner kinda guy. I lived in Japan, which is where I actually started to develop a liking to the odd American car. Yes, the Eclipse 1G and especially 2G are considered "American" cars. Despite popular belief that would say otherwise, there are Eclipses in Japan, they are all USDM in regards to the steering wheel being on the left like the US market cars, the only real difference is a gauge cluster in kilometers only and the turbo models are badged GSR-4. They are rare in Japan, but there is definetly a tuner scene for them out there.Pictures of TokyoI left out some of my personal pictures, but here are some photos I took when I lived in Japan. I really miss Tokyo, if you like Japanese cars it's a place you have to go. Just stand on a busy street corner in Shinjuku and admire all the magnificent machines go by. Seriously, everything from tuned Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, and classic Japanese iron in one place.

Another agentallamerican 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse post...

Welcome All Sport-Compact Fans!Hey everyone, my name's Hideki. Thanks for checking out my '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T. I came across this particular GST in 2004 when I was looking for a new project to tune. My criteria for my new project was; it had to be relatively new ('97 wasn't that old in '04) in-line 4-cylinder engine, under 10K sticker price, unmolested low milage car, and turbocharged from the factory. MR2 turbo was my first choice, but was way too expensive at the time. Nissan 240SX with an SR20 swap was just not gonna happen, all the candidates in my price range were junkers. This left me with the 4G63 powered Mitsubishi Eclipse. The problem however, in 2004 it was just as impossible to find a clean low milage turbo Eclipse as it is today. Thankfully, when you want something bad enough, and are willing to spend the time to look for it, karma has a way of making everything right. Yeah, I had to drive super-duper far away to get this car, and it wasn't in as "unmolested" shape as I wanted, but a low milage turbo Mitsu was in my grasp.

My NeighborhoodChidoricho, Tokyo is my home. It's nestled between Shinjuku and Shibuya (the two largest districts) but it retains its small town feel. You can walk pretty much anywhere and the train station was only a few minutes away. I also included a pic of a local Daihatsu dealership. I love Kei cars :)

Latest Mods!Aluminum Radiator!Since my old radiator decided to spontaneously combust into a billion pieces, it neccessitated a Mishimoto aluminum radiator, while I was in there I installed some slimmer aftermarket electric fans. Lots of room now for a large turbo.ARC-Style Cold Air Box!I was bored one night and decided to try and make a sealed cold-air box like an ARC box. My old K&N filter sits inside this box that is sealed completely except for a 3" hold on the bottom that is fed from that velocity stack poking out where my fog lights used to be. Intake temps are now only a few degrees above ambient. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ShinjukuIf you've seen pictures of Tokyo with all the bright lights you're talking about Shinjuku. It's one of the largest areas of Tokyo and has tons of fun things to do. One of the things I love about Japan is you'll walk by huge skyscrapers, and then there'll be an ancient style temple nestled between them :)

Tokyo TowerAnyone whose ever played Shutokou Battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer) will be able to identify Tokyo Tower as an iconic backdrop. If you consider yourself a true JDM tuner kinda guy you have to visit Tokyo Tower and pay homage :) just kidding. In the middle of Tokyo Tower is a neat cafe (the green tea ice cream floats are delicious) and for a few more yen you can ride a second elevator all the way to the top. That picture that looks like spider webs was taken by me standing under the tower. I included a pic showing just how many buildings are out there. Seriously, they go on forever.
