better put your flame suit on!

 

Lmao...

 

i can't believe you posted that. You're comparing a world known rally championship AWD car to an eclipse? Come on man that's like comparing apples to oranges. I'd pay every dollar for an evolution for what is has to offer. I drove an '07 eclipse GT . But my girlfriend liked it, not me. That's why I have an Evo. The eclipse is more of a girls car.

 

Get a 3g and AWD it....

 

Thanks, I had to ask .

 

lol i 2nd that EVO 8 head swap and AWD conversion since its been done already

 

or just take a 1G gsx or 2g GSX one or the other

 

ill have you know, the 1g awd could out perform any of the new evos on rally. they'll just prolly break down before the evo would...

 

Well sorta... they guy that im sure your talking about is just riding SOHC 4G64, boosted. He is AWD but i believe hes waiting till winter to do that swap...


.....me on the other hand... i will be DOHC 4G64 and AWD

 

umm evo not a hard question to answer but its all about personal preference.

 

eclipse is most certainly a chick car. i would even buy that car for a DD and still keep the evo. In those class of cars i would go with the HONDA side of the house. economy efficient and cheap. Honda is better with longevity i think with econo cars.....................was quite a chuckle though to see this topic....lol

 

3 and 4 not worth spending any real money modding up.
I would KNOW!
The $$$ I spent on my 3G eclipse GT, I could have built up 3 Evo's

 

you picked the wrong 3G trim to mod.

i spent less than 2k (granted i did all the labor) and made... as you see in my sig.
300whp -330wtq (stock block, stock head)

Right now, if someone was looking to get a 3g to mod, could find one with blown motor, build the motor w/evo head then awd it...for about 12k. maybe 16k if they paid someone to do it for them.

4G... will be hella expensive to build. -i agree.

 

I got my 2000 eclipse GT in 1999 New Off the truck for 25K.

First and second gears were a joke. The 3G sub frame was junk. The 3G CV joints and axles are not made to hold any real power at all.
