1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS review from North America
"It is a wonderful vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ever since I bought the car, I have been experiencing horrible leaks through the rear window, also water leaks on the driver and passenger side.
General comments?
This engine has a solid structure, the 2.4 engine is now turbocharged, it is running 12 pounds off boost with stock internals, the fuel system has been heavily modified, as well as the exhaust system, and I must say that considering that it was naturally aspirated engine now using a turbocharger, it handles extremely well the forced induction, it is a magnificent car.
