hey guys, i just wanted some opinions on this ride before i go to take a look and possibly pick it up, it's a 1995 Gs-T with a 20g, i don't know much about a 20g so info would be much appreciated, like pros and cons, heres the link, all info is welcomed, thanks.

The 20g was the god of all turbos, back in 1998 lol. Its DEFINITELY better than the stock t25 POS that these cars come with stock, and will net you some decent power if its in good shape. Its just old technology.

About the car itself, I think the asking price is a bit high, seems as if its a little beat up in some areas, like the driver side side skirt. The mileage is decent tho. Id check for rust in the strut towers and stuff like that. I doubt the car is going to be rust free. If its a 95, then it already has the 2gb bumpers and high-rise spoiler, which is a plus. Go check it out and comment back.

 

It seems like a lazy listing to me. They could have taken more and better pictures plus its always a red flag to me when someone rounds off the miles, but then I do this for a living so, maybe its just me.

 

thanks for your replys guys.

and yeah i noticed the driver side skirt also.

and it does seem lazy because of the pictures, but also the owner didn't care to vacuum the driver side floor mats, but it does seem okay.

thanks again and any other info would be greatly appreciated.

 

I would go check it out if I were you. And be careful of 2g dsm's, crankwalk is a bi*ch.

 

Nevermind guys

i looked it up, crankwalk is a *****!

any more information would be greatly appreciated!!

like where to start for the modding process etc..

 

Crankwalk... lmao.

Go read vfaq's 1000 question and answers.

 

Just for your info, those rims, bumpers, rear spoilers and side skirts don't belong to that car's year. That asides, the 20 G is old as dirt, the one 20 G worth getting is maybe the one from Hanh racing.

The crankwalk issue is indeed the most exagerated history you will ever hear in the Mitsubishi world. Put it this way, most of the Eclipse owners mod their cars to much higher boost levels. Anything can break, any engine. A vast majority of Evo and Eclipse owners abuse their cars and things will eventually break, I am not an exception.

My 95 GSX has 94000 miles on original motor and has no issues (409whp/360lb-tq Mustang Dyno) , stock internals off course. I admit reading of countless 7 bolt 4G63 motors failures, you come to me and show me how many of those failures occurred on stock engine(no mods).

Good luck with your purchase.

Woops, let me clarify on my post. I agree crankwalk is very overrated, but it can happen. And as you said motor failures happen on modded engines and the eclipse he showed is not stock. That is why i told him to go check it out and see if there is anything fishy.

 

^^^ I wasn't targeting you at all. I am just saying. For the most part people over rev the engines and beat the crap out of them so that is why I am not surprised about the failures.

I always thought the crankwalk was an exagerated issue. There are no real numbers, no real stats, in order to do a fair assement we would have to see how many 6 bolts vs 7 bolts failures are out there and see how many of them were modded and also the driving style.

It is a I said he said she said type of thing. My .2c

thanks for the info guys.


by any chance do you guys know where i could look for either a gst or gsx?

i want one like a fat kid wants cake.

 

Phew, that makes me feel better haha.
And OP you should check out classified section at dsmtuners.com it's a forum so it's a little bit safer than buying on car sale websites.

 

I'm selling mine.

You don't want to trust it on a cross country drive though.
