New Vs. Old

[Sleepr awd]

on the older models yes a very big difference, a 420a motor will have a much harder time reaching the performance achieved by 4g63 engines under boost the 4g63 also has MANY more mods than the 420a and GReddy (as you might know) doesn't make parts for the lesser trimmed models so it only features parts for the GST and GSX models, the newer model GS and RS models essentially have a 4g63 engine on steroids and no turbo, so if you turbo it, put dohc on it, your tearing apart other cars like no other

[thecackster]

Then wouldn't it make sense to just get a GT that a 6 so turbo that, and it whoops all ass right?

[Sleepr awd]

except that, when boosted, the i4's seem to make just as much power (at similar boost) as the 6 AND the 6 costs more on insurance, but the new mits. have a 100k mile warranty, so getting a 6 would satisfy ur performance needs and keep the warranty hopefully

I would not reccomend turboing the 420s...lotta work per buck... the Hahan racecraft kit does make more hp than a stock gst turbo setup, but go with the 4g63. as far as the interior goes, our 2G interiors are pretty cramped and interior build material thanks to chrysler isnt as good as it should be.

I found out recently that I can't even afford the insurance on a 99 + Ins is a rip off!

thecackster: I live in Las Vegas, and yeah, insurance is INSANE here. But believe me, after a week of driving here, you'll understand why.

[Shpyder]

get a 95 GSX....cheap, same engine, practically same design....my insurance fell by 25% when i went from a 98 GS to a 97 GST.... i guess the year matters more than the engine type...both were spyders.

[thecackster]

I would love a spyder, but my parents say too dangerous, and ya kinda, but so much more fun!

[Shpyder]

aahhh yes. Parents. My folks wanted me to go with a 1990 Accord. . If they are worried about overturning, tell them you can always invest in a rollCAGE (NOT a roll bar like mine, that is a purely cosmetic peice).

[thecackster]

haha ya, and that is what they are worried about i think haha, what ever, I kind of want a mitsubishi lancer evo, but they are still pretty pricy, but they are fast, lots -o- horse power stock, like 275 or somthin, the GSX is like 210. but hey ya do what you can, and the eclipse looks better

[Shpyder]

slap on an EvoIII16G with a quiaffe LSD, and youve got a lancer beater.

[Sleepr awd]

ka ching, 2g's are easy to beat lancers and corvette's if you can do your own work and have 4$ dollars in parts to invest

5k if you must have an lsd

and thats w/o buying the car

[thecackster]

how much is a EvoIII16G with a quiaffe LSD,

[eclipsed4utoo]

you could probably get the turbo for like $600 and the LSD for like $1100

[Sleepr awd]

i saw the turbo on sale for 500$ actually, the normal 16g was about 400$ somewhere...mighta been dsmtuners and the lsd will run you a good bit, don't settle for a knockoff though, they will tear the transmission apart (i.e. phantom lsd...)

and i would see about ripping a 99 GSX ECU instead of the 95, the 99 has much better gas mileage and junk, plus i actually THINK your car will last longer w/ it, not totally sure though, its merely a theory
