First gen eclipses were quick... awd and a turbo 4 cylinder was wicked....


now a 6cyl front wheel drive N/A not much fun, espically in an automatic.


fast is a very relitave term.

yea your right, it's more than enough for me, trust me.I might just throw a couple things on it such a new stereo, new front and tail lights and halogen lights. That's about it probably.

Why not bore and stroke a 351W out to a 408 and then drop it in a mustang... It'll fit!

i was thinking of that too.. but thats alot more $$ than i have.. ive seen a few 331/347 rotating assemblys for around $400 here and some complete engines for around $1000... that or i was thinking of a forged 306 with a supercharger...well see.. the cars only got 112K on it.. plenty of life left in it..

Yeah the GSX's and the GST's are the only ones worth having.
The newer ones aren't very tuneable from what I hear. Don't go throwing that "2 Fast 2 Furious" crap up in my face either. All it had was chrome and a paint job.

and some RIMZZZ and NOZZZ and a DOPE WING!
yeah brea!

What year you got?

What year you got?

its a white 92' GT 5-Speed. picked it up for $2500... its only got 2 tiny surface rust spots (east to fix), new tranny and clutch, newer tires, edelbrock upper and lower intake manifold, full exhaust and headers, msd ignition, 3.73 rear end... i love the thing and it seems pretty quick too..im going to take it to the track this summer and get some times on it..but from everyone i talked to.. i got a really good deal on it

Did you pick out the car? I always thought the new eclipse's were more chick cars than anything, but thats just because like every girl at my school has one. Did you buy it through a dealer or private, and no offense but that seems kinda high price for that car. kbb retail really doesnt mean much since you usually get it for a couple grand less.

I Totally agree with you. They kind of are chick cars.

Dont listen to what anyone says drive what you want and have fun and be safe.


I work at a Toyota/Scion dealership. To get a key made with a chip on it for a 2004 Scion TC was $312.00 Dollars. Yeah not cheap, but I'm sure what the aging of the vehicle the price will go down.
