Mitsubishi Eclipse.
Until know, the fourth generations on the site have as "chassis codes" 1G, 2G, 3G & 4G. This is commonly used in the USA (Wikipedia article, tuners' forums) but it's not official at all. It just means "first generation", "second generation", and so on.
The real codes are different. Of course, as usual with Mitsubishi, every engine version has its own code, so we use a "generic" code for the range when the exact version can't be identified. Here are the ones for the Eclipse.
- first generation : D20
- second generation : D30
- third generation : D50
- fourth generation : DK
I've taken the liberty of trying this on a few Euro-spec/Japan-spec models for which I know the exact codes, like this :
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=571308
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=636406
For the moment, the "Mk" field shows "Series I/II/III/IV". Is it possible to rename these as 1G/2G/3G/4G, so we'd have a continuity with the (US-centric) popular way of calling these cars ?
