Mitsubishi Eclipse with MOMO Atlantis Seats
The Eclipse underwent a change into its third generation in 1999, closely aping the Mitsubishi SST design study which debuted at the 1998 North American International Auto Show. It was the first concept vehicle exhibited by Mitsubishi at an auto show in the United States.
The 4G63 was replaced by two power train options, a 150 hp 2.4 L 16 valve SOHC 4-cylinder 4G64 and a 205 hp 24v DOHC 3.0 L V6 (6G72). AWD was no longer an option. The suspension setup was adjusted to provide a softer and more compliant ride quality.
No longer considered to be a DSM, it shared its platform and power train with the 8th generation Galant. Weight was also up slightly from the previous year's model. In late 2001 power was lowered to 200 hp as a result of tightened emission standards forcing MMNA to adopt the California standards for all variants of the car.
In mid-2002, the GTS trim was introduced for the 2003 model year. This vehicle included an engine with a 10:1 compression ratio and an improved Mitsubishi Variable Induction Management (MVIM) air intake system that gave the car an extra 10 hp and a slightly improved power curve. The 2003-2005 GTS and GT/GTS Spyder shared the new engine while GT models retained the 200 hp power train. From 2003-2005, the Eclipse Spyder V6 was sold in a left-hand drive version in Japan.
If you are truly looking to style up your Eclipse, then good custom seats are a logical upgrade. There are many aftermarket companies out there that produce quality bucket racing seats for either road or track use. Prices can vary from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for top of the line seats depending on your taste and the size of your bankroll.
Beside the bling effect of having some sweet looking Atlantis racing seats in your vehicle there are some performance benefits. Because racings seats are made out of lighter materials than your factory seats they reduce the overall weight of your vehicle which is always a positive for tuning.
MOMO Atlantis Racing Seats are universal for all vehicles; however, all Atlantis seats will need to latch to a seats rail, which is car specific. Make sure there is a rail available for your vehicle, or otherwise you can customize your stock one to fit your Atlantis aftermarket seats.
MOMO Seats, the maker of the popular Atlantis seats is one of the heavy hitters in the aftermarket seats industry. Many others try to match the quality of craftsmanship of the Atlantis seats but few succeed.
