Mitsubishi Eclipses?

[dougie30]

Eclipses are hands down one of the ugliest cars ever...

In my opinion

Take a break from the E30, come back in a couple weeks and take the $2k you were going to use on buying something else and fix the things that are wrong/bad on your E30.

lol, I really didn't know anything about them, and now I know to stay away... Thanks r3v.

Now fix my bouncing idle, install a new clutch and new exhaust and make the interior dome lights work pls.

Mitsubishi= Shitbox on wheels

Replacing your e30 with an eclipse? That would be like replacing your $10 bill with a penny.

We all know you replace your e30 with another e30

that's all that's wrong with your car?

I'm gathering that you want to stop driving this:



Because you want to drive this:




Thats how I'm seeing this situation.

Forgot that the valves need to be adjusted, too. A rear axle is making some noise, water is gathering in the trunk, and just a bunch more annoyances.

And I get lazy in the winter and hate working on cars.

Adjusting valves takes me like 10 minutes tops...

Water ALWAYS gets in the trunk, as long as the drains are fine, it shouldn't be a worry; if your drains are clogged and they are pooling, it'll take like 5 minutes to unclog them and $40 for new trunk weatherstripping.


All these "little annoyances" are natural in a car this old.





I crashed my car a month ago: I'm pulling the frame, pulling the engine to replace mounts/oil pan, doing a timing belt/water-pump job, full cooling replace, full A/C overhaul, and replacing my squeaking sway bar mounts while sandblasting and powder-coating the new bars I'm replacing the old ones with all while ~20-30 outside.

Granted you may have a family and don't have as much time as I do (an even THEN, I don't exactly have a lot of time myself), but if can't muster up enough will to get to steppin; not to be a douche: but maybe you should just sell the e30 and buy a DSM.

[E30 Wagen]

Well good for you for working hard on your e30. You are obviously a much more motivated person than I am who deserves all the praise in the world for your ability to fix your car in any weather condition. I envy you.

I think I will go buy a DSM. Secretly I think they're the best cars ever made and the only reason I started this thread was the hope that somebody would agree with me and justify my absolute desire to get one. I mean, I knew all along that, mechanically, they're piles of junk that lazy people drive, so this thread was a complete waste of your time. Sorry. And ST1G is right, that is exactly the mental image I have.

I've got three e30s that all require countless hours of work, and I think I will sell all of them now and buy three Eclipses. I am a DSM fan for life. Actually, I won't sell my e30s, I'll just drop them off at my local junkyard with a note reading "I'm a DSM fan now. Please crush these. I'm too lazy to fix 'em."

I'm not sure what all the hate is about. Aren't they just an evo in a better looking shell?

[Emre]

Aren't they just an evo in a better looking shell?

Like I said, it's an Evo I-III drivetrain in an uglier, cheaper, less practical package with horrible ergonomics.
