![]() This was a labor of love but also a huge time suck. I have some pictures of the rebuild and random things I did with the GST. I suppose that quote makes sense if you are trying to gain experience points while increasing personal suffering.Īnyway, I then purchased a 1995 Eclipse GST followed by a 1996 Eclipse GST (AWD turbo). They say, 'it's better to have tried and failed than not have tried at all'. All I can say is that the rebuild failed miserably as the bottom end spun a bearing, but I eventually rebuilt it again successfully. ![]() I decided to fix it/rebuild the bottom end while fixing the cylinder head.this was my first exposure of being a 'car mechanic'. The engine (4G63T) was leaking oil through an exhaust valve guide. I learned how to drive manual (or 'standard transmission' if you are British) and also taught my brother as well.Īdmittedly, I have a bad habit of taking things apart. The first car I purchased with my paper route/cleaning aunt's apartment buildings was a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST 5 - Speed (FWD Turbo). They were making motors for Hyundai, Eagle and Plymouth Chrysler during the 90's. I would say that this was Mitsubishi's finer moments due to the popularity of the 4G63 motor, Lancer and 3000 GT. ![]() Diamond Star Motors was purchased by Mitsubishi a while back and they had a factory in Normal, Illinois (I don't know if this is the case I guess I could have googled that pretty easily). This is a bittersweet page in my life and on the website. ![]()
