I'm thinking of buying an Eclipse GSX and modding it. Does anyone know of a good website to shop for these (I think I read of one on this board but couldn't find it with Search).

Next...what generation does everyone like? I can get a 1st gen really cheap now I think, but I'm wondering if there were specific problems with the 1st gens that were fixed in later model years. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I think any used car site is gonna stock the DSMs. The two best ones I've seen are www.autotrader.com and www.cars.com

Well, I think overall the 1gs are the best lookin, but my favorite DSM of all time is the 2g Talon. You're right, though, that the 1gs are a lot cheaper now, though aftermarket support is a little better for 2gs. Also, the BOV for the 2gs is considerably weaker than the 1g BOV, so most people will just find a OEM 1g BOV to upgrade.

If you're lookin for cheap, the Talons and Lasers will be less expensive than the Eclipses.

Also, when you do get one, a really good site for parts is www.machv.com They have almost everything you can want for your car. www.DSMtalk.com and www.dsmtuners.com are very good forums for advice and stuff like that, too.

Also, since you're from Connecticut, if you don't mind goin into eastern NY, www.wantaddigest.com is a cheaper site, though their selection is a bit limited, and it's almost all private sellers. Look under Chrysler for the Talons.
I've done my homework.

 

Thanks for the info Danny Boy. FYI, I found the site I was talking about it's www.dsmtrader.com.

 

Or you can just buy my 95 gsx in NJ, although it is already modded! I'm gonna have to sell it to get my Evo, though I really don't want to...

 

Do you have it listed somewhere? Can you give me some details?

 

Hey crap shoot, I sent you a pm!
