What should I do o_O?

ok well heres the deal Im buying a 240 in like ten days from an auto broker, my moms buying a new car soon and we basically dont know what to do with the Eclipse. Like its gonna have around 130k miles on it by the time she gets the other car (has like 98 now) So What should I do, Fix up the 240, or Fix up the Eclipse. I figure Ill buy it from her for like 3 grand. I could either A. make it look good as shit and blah blah blah or B. Gut it pop on a turbo kit, build up the engine run like 25psi of boost lol and drag it. Or I could leave it stock as a daily driver and build up the 240. Whatcha think I should do when the time comes o_O? And which one looks better o_O? Maybe I should just gut both of em and hone my skills with a FWD car and a RWD car hmm o_O?

FWD cars are no fun as compared to RWD cars. I suggest you go with the 240 and throw a turbo kit on there. Beef up the suspension and you will have a great autocross car (because drag is BORING)

And while the 3G may look better, the 240 is a better out of the box car. And the mod potential for the 240 is 100 times greater than the mod's available for the 3G. The 3G get's no love from the aftermarket.

Spend the 3K on the 240. Beef up the suspension and really start working on how the car handles and turns. Then work on the braking system, then get to the engine and turbo to put at least 400whp down.

yeah I sorta planned to do that its just Sr20's are getting rare and well people are bitchy on the RB20DET wiring for the S14's lol. And a Turbo kit for a KA runs like 3 grand hell I could get a Front Clip for that price and get the wiring done for $100. So Imma do that I think.
