1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

acidxrain's 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Let me first give you a little background information on DSM's. The Mitsubishi Eclipse and Eagle Talon were built in Normal, Illinois, in a factory that was originally owned by Diamond-Star Motors, a joint venture between Mitsubishi and Chrysler. The second-generation (2G) Eclipse and Talon are again the same car, sharing every part except exterior cosmetic details like the front and rear bumpers, wheels, and spoilers.

My first car was a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD. It opened up my eyes to Diamond Star Motors.

Thanks for checking out my DSM. I had my work done at a shop in Hackensack, NJ called Kaztech Motorsports which has now moved. They moved into COATES Engines facility now in Central NJ and are fininhing my car. You have a nice looking DSM. Good luck with your future mods.
