OK, here's the deal. I get $4000 for a car. I'm thinking about a 1st gen 1st gen Mitsubishi eclipse turbo. I can get one for about 2500-3000, and that leaves me plenty of money to make it faster. I'm asking 3 things.
1. Why should I get this car?
2. What are the first mods I should do to it?
3. How well do they hold up over time? The chassis, I already know the engine is almost bulletproof.
If anyone is curious, the other cars I'm considering are a Honda CRX Si, 1st gen 300zx turbo, 1st gen Toyota MR2, 2nd gen Toyota Supra, and a ford taurus SHO.

1. they are pimp cars and are cheap to make them go fast
2. exhaust, intake, new bov, turbo upgrade...etc whatever you want
3. Good, Great cars :biggrin:

But if i had to choose with those i would go with the nissan 300zx twin turbo. Those cars are so fast and look so freakin pimp with exterior mods done to it...

get the 1g dsm make sure you get awd bov you dont need to get the 1st gen one will hold up fine. and they look better than the others.

1) AWD and turbo. People have run mid 12s for 4000 dollars, including the cost of the car ;) Try that in a FWD.

2) turbo back exhaust (600), K&N, MBC (50), fuel pump (100). You may need to hack the MAS to get around fue cut, maybe not.

3) depends on where it is. A southern car is going to last much longer than the salty POSs up here in the northeast. But most people are still sporting 90's in great shape, aside from breakingoff every bolt you try to remove :D
