Great cars under $ 1000 - All-Star Profiles - Mitsubishi Eclipse

If your looking for a car with high performance at low cost under $ 1000 U.S. dollars its hard to look beyond the DSM Mitsubishi eclipse. For those who do not know the DSM stands for Diamond Star Motors. Although this profile is for Eclipse (1990-1994) the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser were part of the Diamond Star trio and are basically the exact same machine with a few different cosmetic touches. These cars are starting to fall steadily in the range U.S. dollar sub-$ 1,000 price and have for many years gives fans plenty of bang for their buck. These DSM are available in various models, but for this profile we will only focus on the Turbo cars. (Why turbos are fun!)

All-Star Profile Mitsubishi Eclipse (1990-1994):

In 1990 the trio DSM stormed our shores with a car that offered a lot of performance for the money. The Mitsubishi Eclipse is a sporty coupe with aggressive styling (love or hate) that has not only offered the option of a turbocharged four-cylinder known as the 4G63, but also the ability to combine this with a floor jack all-wheel drive. The GS-T is the only front-wheel drive turbocharged version offered and the GSX-wheel drive. In the early '90s, before America was used to obtain the latest four-wheel drive rally inspired vehicles like the WRX and EVO Eclipse was really on his own in what they could offer.

The 4G63 engine that is still used very latest Mitsubishi EVO offered 195hp 180 and soon became a favorite tuner. The 4G63 is just one of those engines with an uncanny ability to absorb a bit 'of abuse and fork over a lot more power with relatively little updates. Just turn up the pressure on these engines (with the support of upgrades and fuel, of course) so a simple way to make energy giant killing. For those who want all the after market has virtually every upgrade under the sun for these cars, and usually the budget is the only limiting factor.

Now, when it comes to finding the DSM in particular one for less than $ 1000 dollars, the choice must be made carefully, with several factors in mind. Before these cars are still desirable, but their age is making them become much cheaper. Unfortunately it's no real secret that these cars have a lot of fun and provide power, which in turn means you're going to have some luck hard to find a cleaner that has not been beaten on. In fact, as the most popular tuner cars modified by the previous owner may be a more or less massive.

The 4G63 engine is able to take a little 'push and abuse, but in general when you combine high power turbo and AWD in a car + 15 years should not offend too much if some things break. Not to say these cars can not be trusted, in fact, there are still a lot changed and photographic examples still running without problems everywhere, but do not expect one of these to run like a new Camry. Do your research and take the time to find a good example, although most are under $ 1000 dollars could still be pretty rough these cars can be good starting points for a project of tuner and can still offer a lot of benefits and build up quite well against the newer cars on the road .......
