The evo's little brother. What are your thoughts on the 1g and 2g eclipses running the 4g63 motors?

 

What kinda question is that? And what info are you looking for?

 

love em', don't know what else to say

 

They are veterans of the infamous 4g63. Now buy my 1g. Lol

 

I bet 75% of the guys on this forum are old dsmers. I know I am. Dsms are beasts man. Can be picked up for cheap, modded relatively cheap and run with the rest of them.

I miss my 1g everyday.

 

Actually after reading the first post the evo is the dsm's little brother being the evo didn't come out till 94 when the dsm came out in 89.

 

Man that is one beautiful car bro. The champagene color really grew on me being the car I am swapping over to the current white one was that color. Thing looks sick nice job on the build on it.

 

Thanks man!

Mine was actually pearl white from Toyota lol.

It does look like the champagne color in the bay pic especially.

 

Hahaha yeah no kidding. Awsome build though I knwo every time I see a clean dsm I think man if I just spend a few more bucks I can finish mine but usually the money goes twards important things such as the house and gas and what nots

 

im not looking for information lol. looking to create discussion :P and that is a really clean 1g. very rare to find now a days

 

DSMs 4g63 is just as bullet proof BUt the car itself was the biggest POS ever, things constantly breaking, weak drivetrain, weak t-case, weak everything ohh yea loved to rust.
Evo's 4g63 is much better, great head flow, updated valve train, forged pistons and can handle up to 700whp without breaking a sweat. The drive train is a lot stronger and can handle a decent amount of abuse, ohh yeah nothing rattles while driving
Yeah most of use have started with DSMs but when i switched to an Evo it was like day and nigh difference.

 

this!!!!! :d

Big problem now is, you cant find a decent dsm, or they are very hard to find. So many of them are just torn to **** now. They have been beaten to hell by novice drivers, neglected and not maintained.

I would love to have another 1g, but its gonna be one of those gold mines that have under 50k miles, all original lol. Come across a few over the last few years, but didnt have the cash at the moment.

 

Mine before my friend that was driving it while i was deployed blew the motor not sure how just yet either but i love it still hes buying the rebuild for it so i may still rock it around when i get back o and motor blew about 1000 miles after i put brand new Megan coils on it

 

Ive always liked dsms. Of all the import days, drag racing events, street racing, DSMS were always the fastest. There was always talk of "Fast Mustang, Fast Supra, 500hp civic" But at the end of the day, a 91 Talon ends up winning the event.

Random Parking Lot Car discussion
Gear Head 1: "Yeah, thats Brads Trans Am. It has 150 shot and runs 11's"
Gear Head 2: "Couple of weeks ago, Brad was racing some white mitsubishi talon, or eclipse or something, and it blew his doors off bad!.....The race was over from the start"

I used to love those stories of random dsms that no one knew of. Or when your at the drag strip and you hear someone yell "Hey, watch this thing launch!"

 

My DSMs were my gateway drug. Love hate realtionship with them,, fun when they were running. Nightmare when they werent. I did all the preventitive work and still had issues. I am hoping my Evo 9 is more reliable..
