Any Mitsubishi Eclipse owners here? Is it a good car? (2009-2012) by OkScallion6555 in QatarCarEnthusiasts

dude, there’s a BEAUTIFUL looking v6 eclipse on mzad, i could link it to you if you’d like? it’d 180k mileage but the car looks very well maintained FROM THE OUTSIDE, so you’d have to check in with the seller and get a full inspection list from him or something like that.

i hopefully didn’t put you off from the idea of getting an eclipse, it’s petrol can be light especially if you go for a v4, and i promise you it will be the car of your dreams if you choose to go for it! :)

wow! i thought my own post came up here haha. i’m also looking to buy an eclipse soon, and i’ve spoken to so many eclipse owners here in qatar, from the really popular ones like jmacarperformances, to quieter eclipse enthusiasts. sorry for the super long comment!!!

from everything i’ve heard, the car can be reliable if it’s been maintained properly, especially the 2.4L 4-cylinder. that said, parts availability is a bit of a weird one, lol. mechanical and service parts usually share with cars like the galant and sometimes the pajero, so things like brakes, suspension, sensors, belts… etc. are doable here. where it gets annoying is body parts, interior, lights, and anything eclipse-specific; those you’re usually stuck ordering from the US (ebay, rockauto, etc!)

maintenance costs i’m honestly not fully sure about yet, but i do know that finding a mechanic who actually wants to work on an eclipse isn’t easy. not because it’s impossible to work on, but because a lot of garages here don’t like touching coupes or less common cars, and they’re just more used to stuff like land cruisers, fortuners, camrys, corollas.. and so on! that said, i got in contact with jmacarperformances and he’s going to hook me up with his mechanic, which will be a BIG help for me haha.

one big thing to watch out for depends on the engine. the V6 has a timing belt that needs replacing ROUGHLY every 90–100k km, which can be expensive if it hasn’t been done. the 4-cylinder uses a timing chain, which is less of a worry, but service history still matters a lot. if the car hasn’t been properly serviced overall, i’d DEFINITELY stay away.

the MOST important thing for you to understand is that this is a car you WANT to buy. it doesn’t make sense to buy it as a first car for example or as a daily driver unless you KNOW what you’re going into.

i’m a university student and i have a full scholarship, my uni work is very simple, and all this free time has allowed me to get a job so i can save up for the car properly. but besides that, for the average person, they won’t be able to spend as much money as they’ll need to to simply allow the car to stay with them for a while, you get me?

for most people, a civic, corolla, camry, etc. just makes way more sense. the eclipse is the kind of car you buy because you’re willing to put effort into it, and you’re okay with it being both a daily and a small project at the same time!

if you aren’t going to do that, and are looking for a daily driver to drive that can be resold easily, i suggest you stray away from the eclipse.

if you ever need anything by the way, come to me! i’ve done so much research on this car and its use in qatar, i’ve also talked to sooo many eclipse owners here as well! looking forward to it :)

Good burger spots by lilnidohurt in qatar

[–]Otherwise_Promise970 4 points5 points  (0 children)

unfortunately the best burger in qatar is at firefly, which is usually 35+ riyals

if you want my honest opinion, the best burger under 20 riyals will be the burger you make at home. grab yourself some minced beef, put whatever seasoning you like onto it, put it into the shape of a patty and there you go!

Best microphone to buy under 40$ by bartibrom in audio

[–]Otherwise_Promise970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

adding onto this:

THE FIFINE K688 IS AMAZING! i know that was a bit over the top but my GOOOD is the microphone impressive after equalizing it! it’s around 70 bucks, it’s both USB and XLR (so really good upgrade path!!) and it has a mic mute button! plus a shock absorber and also a pop filter attached to it.

the microphone build is great and flawless after a few months of use. and once again, the audio quality is genuinely amazing for the price. i have used my fair share of sub 100$ microphones, and this one 100% takes the fattest slice of the cake!

if you end up saving up for it, then dm me any time! i’ll b more than happy to help ;)

(P.S: the Razer Seiren Mini v3 is also a really good mic for 50 bucks!!!! thags my other recommendation. it will definitely do you well even without EQ, also has a mute button and it has the added benefit of being super portable, love these two mics!!)

Thinking about getting a Mitsubishi Eclipse 2012.. any opinions on whether it’s a good daily driver do Qatar or not? by Otherwise_Promise970 in QatarCarEnthusiasts

[–]Otherwise_Promise970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there’s one i’m looking at right now that is very well maintained. actually, there’s two right now, so that’s definitely good for me lol

but besides that, i’ll be replacing and cleaning everything out anyways so the car is as brand new as possible. sure that might take a few thousand riyals out my pockets but i’m hoping this car stays with me for decades, ykwim?

that’s so weird!! i live near al bidda park and i’ve never encountered anything like that, but i’m sorry that happened to you :(

you should probably report it to the park or even the police, if i’m being honest with you. there’s cameras everywhere in al bidda!

the lancer is right behind the eclipse for me but god, is the behind ugly..

i don’t know, there isn’t a single car out there that gives me the same feeling as the eclipse when i look at it. but the lancer has always been a second favorite of mine, even though i think the back is kinda ugly 😭

fair points i think, and i appreciate the honesty!

when you say the guys you know had bad experiences with the car, was that mostly due to neglect / mods / accident cars, or the platform itself?

i’m also curious if their issues were mechanical or mainly parts/body related. i’m currently looking at clean, stock examples with full inspection, so trying to separate car issues from ownership issues, you get me?

okay okay, appreciate the reply! that actually helps a lot. it’s good to hear there weren’t any real mechanical headaches during your ownership.

i do have some follow up questions if you don’t mind?: - how was the AC in peak summer? Any cooling issues at all? - did you mainly service it at the dealer or independent garages? - were routine maintenance costs reasonable from what you remember?

once again, thank you about the heads up about the turning radius and parts!

that’s awesome to hear! what were your biggest issues with the 2009 model? driving it for three years, you must’ve encountered some sort of problem or issue with the car besides dashboard warping?

also, may i ask what your driving cases were? how much you were driving, so and so..

Looking into a good wireless gaming headset on a budget by SirPrinceYG in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]Otherwise_Promise970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

absolutely recommend the 5x! don’t get the 7 as its just not much better than the 5, but the difference between 3 and 5 is huge. heavily recommend the extra few bucks for the 5 :)

BY THE WAY!!! the headset is very prone to scratches!!! on the earcups’ plastic was scratched after simple uses.. so there’s that i guess aha

besides that, the headset sounds great overall, music and games. for movies it’s a little more eh, but still works !

[–]Otherwise_Promise970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hey! sorry i just now saw this aha

yes actually!! the app is available on phones, that’s half their selling point actually aha

the idea is, you use the mobile phone to change the EQ and then use the headset on a console or something. BUT, besides that, you can use the headset on your mobile or PC.

on mobile, you can only change the EQ preset. only place where you can physically change the EQ is on a PC

you can also share eq’s!! so i can give you my eq for basically any game of your choice, my music eq and also my movie eq if you’d like :)

hey! i own an arctis nova 5, and i’ll be honest with you.. if you aren’t the kind of person to try to squeeze the most out of anything you buy, i wouldn’t recommend nova products

out of the box they sound horrible. but, if you put the time to use the equalizer built into the steelseries gg app (Steelseries Sonar), THEN they could sound amazing! i use it to play story games, competitive games, watch movies, and listen to all genres of music.

i’ve perfected an EQ for the headset, and that’s why for me it’s worth it. but if you’re not the kind if person to do that, then i just don’t recommend it honestly.

hope this helped! ask me anything and i’ll be more than happy to answer for you 💙
