Eclipse advice
Hey what's up everybody, I just wanna ask some questions to people who know more than me...
I may acquire an Eclipse GS I think it's like 91-92-93 I don't know the year exactly, it has the DOHC engine... naturally I wanna turn it into a "race" car... so that's where this advice comes in...
I am getting this car for like $150-200 and its really not in all that bad shape, the only things that need to be replaced are things I am going to replace anyway, the major problem here is that its not a turbo, so what would you all suggest, just get a turbo put on the current engine (after some work is done to it of course) or just find a whole nother engine that already has a turbo on it and preferably some work done to it, and any suggestions on places to find these things for good prices would also be helpful...
Next, the transmission, it is an automatic right now as it sits, since I am trying to pump as much speed from this little hatchback as possible, would you recommend installing a manual trans or a different auto with a shift kit or something...
That's about all I have to ask right now, I am sure I will be back in a couple months after I have saved up enough money to get all this engine and trans work done with, also any other suggestions would be, as always, very helpful... thanks a lot...
