Depends... Are you looking for a 1g 90-94, a 2g 95-99, or a 3g 2000+?

1g's and 2g's offered the turbo awd models. While 3g's have none available...

Turbo awd, 1g's and 2g's can be built into some very powerful cars.

Re: Early ecilpse life

It entirely depends on how the car has been taken care of. I tore down a motor with 105k with good cylinder walls and a perfect crank. However, the car I got had 120k and had a recently rebuilt motor in it.

If/when you find a car, look it over good and do a compression test. If the compression is good, I would say it should be a good platform to go from. Just be sure to mod smart.
