i am lookin to get a second car and make it into a fast little car i can take to the track or just run it around town while i have my cobalt as my DD since its goin to cost me alot to build my cobalt into a 12sec under car and i can't afford to hav my DD to be undrivable for any period of time. i want the 95-99 body style eagle talon tsi awd or a eclipse gs-t or ecipse gsx that is a manual trans and in decent shape. i lookin to spend less then $1000 since i'm goin to probably build up the motor to make it a reliable track car but still want to be able to drive it while i'm doin that sp it has to be drivable at sale. While settle for an earlier body style only if awd and its still drives good and price is good.

 

Only get an AWD. Don't waste your time with FWD. And be ready for the money pit those cars become.

 

they are all good cars... i just hope your ready for the headaches DMSs bring with them...

AWD ftw.

 

AWD FTW!!!

its just goin to b a car for friday and saturday night car meets and when i go to the track, and i just want a car to work on b/c the cobalt is a true money pit since they're still new to the performance parts world so parts r still expensive

 

I don't think you quite realize.

 

Believe me, DSM's are not cheap either. You are looking to rebuild an awd hp car thats 10+ years old.....

Im waitng for the first loser tp post the "See crank walk" motivational poster...

 

epic video.

 

deff get the AWD but unless you find some really old lady who owns a mint one GOODLUCK finding one for a grand or less in decent shape.

 

All these videos are the same. The same cheesy white collar metal soundtrack, highway pulls, shitty lighting and cam work etc... At least it wasn't the rap trash that accompany's 99% of the honda vids...


LOSER at 1:15.... riding at 100+ mph in ******* shorts... .seriously people are fuking stupid

 

i've found some for $3-9000 but there already modded out but i'm not goin to pay that much for a 10+ yr old car that someone else modded out unless i know that had a pro did it or they knew what they were doin b/c i've seen and hav had friends buy modded cars that r **** b/c the person didnt know what they were doin and just installed **** on a car, i want a stock one of those cars that only hav mayb a intake or exhaust done aftermarket

 

id say your goign to need to spend 2-3 grand for a decent one, doubt 1g is goign to cut it

 

we have a 93 awd tsi sitting in the back yard that my buddy is building things gonna be pritty sweet

 

im building a 95 tsi awd it saweettt hella fast

 

You could deff find a nice shell for a good price. and since ur looking for a project and building it anyways, it's deff a option.
Here's a lil motivation. My buddies build that he sold.

 

i found a nice 93 eclipse gsx for $950 thats bein sold by a buddy's friend that just wanted to get rid of it, i'm just waiting for him to get bac to me
it has a JDM valve cover and intake manifold, new driver and passenger cv axles and shocks, downpipe back 3' exhaust, full turbonetics 2.5 intercooler kit with big front mount intercooler, HKS SSQ BOV, Buchar racing manual boost controller, Autometer 20 psi boost/vac guage with dual mounted guage pod, 17' black ICW racing wheels with polished lip, carbon fiber hood and original hood which is in great shape, it just has a small problem w/ one of the valves

 

If it has valve issues it might have skipped timing, which is not good.. so watch out for that. oh and dont fall for the whole JDM thing.. there all the same.

 

my buddys gst

 

looks really clean, i cant wait to get mine and start workin on it
