2000+ Eclipse=Crap???
he might sell it, but he also said once he gets it running again he wont want to....it has the potential to be badass though. 2000+ eclipses will never get you ANYWHERE! if you're going to go all motor in the import world, you will have to get a honda. virtually every other brand you need boost to get you good e.t's. big boosted dsms kick ass, but on the older ones reliability starts to be a factor because of the age of the cars. same with 240s. even with a swapped sr in em, you still have to replace other stuff that will go bad. same with rx7s and supras. any older car will require maintenance. its all a balancing act. choose whatever you like, but i recommend black b20 crx's

How is that he might be selling it? To me that is a for sale not might be for sale add. And if he keeps it he says hes lacking money. For it to be a potential badass he would need money to make it go fast.
Redlinevr4 if you do decide to keep your car PM me about some parts I have that you would need. My galant is gone so no need for them anymore.

i am very good friends with rj. i hang out with him all the time and he has said time and time again that he is selling that car and as soon as he gets it running again his dad always gets off his back and he loves it and doesnt want to sell it again. who knows, but yes, he is pretty cheap about spending money, and the car would be awesome if some money was dumped into it.

i have a 2g, all i can say is be prepared to become a mechanic or spend quite a bit of money, mine breaks all the time but still i havent gotten rid of it cause i love it. about going all motor eclipses are too damn heavy to try to build an all motor one unless you are doing a weight reduction and spraying the crap out of it. Plus having a turbo is so much fun compared to motor and stupid slutty girls love when you blow off on them
