Vehicle Description
Calling all Fast and Furious fans! This car is dressed in replica
decals to match the motion picture The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo
Drift to give the iconic look of the Eclipse driven by Brian. (Paul
Walker) Once the darling of the sports coupe club during the late
1980s, Mitsubishi's Eclipse grew larger and heavier 10 years later.
We offer this 1997 Eclipse that has been slightly modified from
stock.
Made in Mitsubishi's Normal, Illinois factory in May 1997, this
example was originally shipped to Yark Mitsubishi in Toledo,
Ohio.
Wearing eye-catching Lime Green paint with black trim, the car's
exterior is in overall very good order. Sporting Fast and Furious
replica decals. The car's bodywork is straight and solid, the
engine bay is extremely tidy and the body-colored bumpers fit
tightly to the body.
This car rolls on Venezia Crusade HP radials, size 225/40ZR18 at
all four corners. Each tire is mounted on Enkei five-spoke alloy
wheels. The tires are in very good order while the wheels are in
good, original order.
Under the hood is a 2.0L DOHC, 16-valve four-cylinder engine (code
420A). It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum cylinder head.
Other features include roller rocker arms, a fracture-split forged
powder metal connecting rods, a one-piece cast camshaft and an
aluminum intake manifold. This engine has intake ports facing the
rear of the vehicle. Bolted to it is a five-speed manual
transmission.
Driver convenience features include air-conditioning, power
sunroof, tilt steering column, five-way adjustable driver's seat
with memory, power assisted rack-and-pinion steering, power disc
brakes, four-wheel independent suspension.
Safety equipment includes dual front air bags. Some of this car's
modifications include Megan racing seats and Nismo harnesses.
There's also a drift tachometer facing the driver.
A minor style revision was applied for the 1997 model year. The
front grille opening was given a more aggressive profile. The
headlights were given a sharper slant on the inner edges, and the
previous all-chrome fixture interior changed to a black interior
with chrome reflector inserts. The driving lights were revised from
a reflector type to a smaller projection type. The rear bumper cap
was altered and had the reverse lights restyled and moved out into
the bumper fascia, away from their original central position by the
license plate bracket. The GS-T coupe and GSX received a large rear
spoiler. The interior color choices also changed from blue and grey
in 1995-1996 model years to black/grey, tan/black, and grey in the
1997-1999 model years. A black leather interior option was only
available in 1999; the package included all seats (with the
'Mitsubishi' logo embroidered on both fronts), door inserts and a
center console armrest.
Competition to this Eclipse in 1997 included Acura's Integra,
Chevrolet's Cavalier Z24, Chrysler's Sebring, Dodge's Neon, Eagle's
Talon, Ford's Probe, Honda's Prelude, Hyundai's Scoupe and Tiburon,
Mazda's MX-6, Nissan's 240SX, Plymouth's Neon, Pontiac's Sunfire
GT, Saturn's SC2 and Toyota's Celica.
