Why do people hate on GST's?

[Vtec95Civic]

GS-Ts are nice.. at least they're easier to find than GSXs . Trying to find a good GSX to buy but haven't had much luck.

Vtec95Civic talk to kevin... i believe his name on af.com is 95 GSXracer not quite sure tho. i remember he was toyin with the idea of sellin his eclipse

[Vtec95Civic]

I'm looking for a stock GSX though, not modded. And low miles (75k or below) is a must.

If i had the money i wouldnt hessitate on getting kevins car, thats a legend in its self. and i think he'l set it up the way you want it also. like wat kind of turbo and stuff like that.

kevin was just parting out old parts from his eclipse, if he was to sell it would go for no less than 20 grand....

no he asked whether we thought he should sell his car he was gonna sell it for like 7000-9000 depending on what turbo setup he put on for you. he has stuff to set it up with a 14b 16g or 18g i think

moding a GST isn't stuipid unless you are going for track times etc. if you are like me and aren't that serious, and just want a nice looking, nice sounding fast car then a GST is perfect. Slap on a nice intake and exhaust and i'm really fine. my point of getting a turbo dsm is getting a car that can SMOKE all those ricers around here with 3' spoilers. and do it stock

[kjewer1]

I'm still thinking about selling the car. I am going to start to put it back together in january. It will have a stock motor, tranny, and perhaps a 14b. It will be mostly stock, not sure about exhaust yet (it's either put the stocker back on, or make the 3" quieter) or ECU. At any rate it will go cheap, 6-7 grand. There is a thread with more info.

Oddly enough, I have considered a GST for a daily driver. But the thought of getting an EVO8 won't get out of my head.

[anarchy1114]

I feel the same way about the EVO8 to Kevin. If, I wasn't contractually bound to buy Jake's car an EVO8 would probably be my next choice. Oh well, I think I'll have a ton of fun with the GS-T

[gsxeclipse97]

I was going to get a gst at first but i couldnt pass up the awd. I had a choice but I agree the awd is better for track times and in the rain/snow. I raced a tsi a while back and they really arent that much faster stock basicly but after the 350-500 mark a gsx would be much better.

I love my GST cause u can really feel the pull when u drive it fast.. its different then my sis 04 corolla S even though her's is a FWD too, i cant feel the pull in her car. Even though some of my friends tease me about not having a GSX i would tease them too about having a civic,mr2(non turbo),integra ls. If u dont own a dsm eclipse.. u dont know how it feels like having a gst from a gsx, so dont say shit when u dont know shit.

[gsxeclipse97]

i know my budy had a fwd tsi with a 16g,greddy exhaust and front mount, intake and a jdm swap i know the pull you are talking about. my car pulls but not the same way at all

[Shpyder]

too bad they didnt make an AWD spyder...im nuts about spyders.

[viet_boiiiii]

man i love your spider eclipse hahah soo fucing clean. If it didnt have that turbo tail .. iono? ahah u got my taste of cars haha.

[Scoped_GST]

well, obviously I'm not goin for track times cause I have FWD...hehe. Its nice to drive around daily, with the occasional race under the right conditions (safe from death and cops). DSM's are a joy to own and mod even though they arent the most reliable things ever created. In a way the "haters" are right - modding the hell out of a FWD car at some point really gets to be expensive for the results in the 1/4 mile. stock, ive beaten a AWD 2G with intake, catback, and intercooler pipes on the freeway from 60mph and on a pull from 40mph or so by 2 lengths or so and 1 1/2 length respectively. The faster you go, the more drivetrain loss is obvious to be expected by AWD(i know you AWD guys dont wanna admit to it). 4 wheels spinning = more loss in power than 2 wheels spinning. But as far as friction goes - from a stop with the AWD...it just got fugly. But in both the twisties and the drag, RWD is the best IMO, which is where I'm goin after I get a nice job out of college...but I'll always keep a DSM in my garage.
