take the 6000 and buy a daily driver and use the gs-t as a money pit(as it will become)/track car. if you dont want to take that route then im sure you can upgrade the whole turbo system and get some sort of tuning in it. suspension can be done, new paint possibly, new exhaust, there are all sorts of things that can be done.

i could have got the evo...but i would never be ablke to hook the evo up.not that it needs to be hooked up on the outside but to put a bov or up grade turbo i'll never have enough. so thats why i picked the eclipse....it was a steal.low miles.perfect paint.interior..garged kept....but i got 6000 left with that i think i will be able to take the evo in a race.......maybe not take off but he wont be going far.................

A money pit it shall be...

1. its a 4g63
2. its a Diamond Star Motor car
3. its an eclipse

Just about the only thing you have going is that its NOT the fawkin AWD drivetrain Mitsubishi threw in.


Thats just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt, but your car is notoriously unreliable.

id go with an HKS dragger exhaust, excellent if i do say so myself, but i would have gone with an srt-4, the perfect sleeper IMO, a remotely fast neon, whoda thunk it? but eclipses are decent, but you have to take care of it. HKS MOFO
