2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT review from North America
"This car packs a punch for its low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any problems yet. After adding a cold air intake, the idle sometimes seems to be erratic at times.
I could have possibly squished the throttle cable, but I'm gonna have it looked at soon.
General comments?
I'm currently living in Kaiserslautern, Germany at Ramstein AFB and have had a blast with this car on the autobahn.
At 150mph I still have 750rpm to go. Who would of thought?
I have added a Injen cold air intake and Greddy exhaust.
Sometimes road noise can get loud, but the factory stereo is just loud enough to overpower.
