Hey, you need to look for a 90-94 eclipse, the 95-99 have serious crank issues, so you would need to do a swap on a 95-99 to make it run good anyway!

Re: anyone selling gsx/tsi??

Definately read up on the crank walk, it isnt that big of an issue. How much are you looking to spend? I just sold mine to someone in my town and now they are looking to sell it again...

with 7k you should be able to find atleast a gst. Just make sure you take your time to find the right deal.

Good Luck!

Re: anyone selling gsx/tsi??

You can test if your crank is gonna walk ya know. Just use a feeler gauge to find out how much end play there is. If it's getting out of spec then you know your gonna have a prob and start saving for a 1g block or some other fix. But again, I think it's a lot more rare than it seems.

I've actually always wondered, cant you just buy a new crank? Wouldn't that solve the problem? Or will it just happen again sometime?

Re: anyone selling gsx/tsi??

When I get a new motor in my car it will be for sale. Not sure how soon I will get off my ass and install the new motor though. I'm de-modding the car to something around 16g status. I'm probably about 7-8 hours away.
