i got this guy who is my friend's friend and he is selling his mitsubishi 97 eclipse RS for 4K i can prob bring it down to 2500 or 2700 it has 94,000 miles and my friend says he has kept it nice. he is selling it with his uninstalled cold air intake and sony head unit and 2 subs and and amp i forgot wut they are i think they are audiobaun. my celica right now has 97,000 and i bought it for 2,700. shoudl i sell my car and get his or should i just stay with mine? it has 140HP and i could add a turbo but i heard eclipse break down easily so im not sure.

dont get the RS. RS' are peices of crap. trust me. and of course you should keep the celi. every one and their mother has an eclipse, not many of us have 6 gen celica's. KEEP IT

Dont the rs's have crappy neon engines? I f so stear clear of that, theres a reason you always see neons broken down on the side of the road, I do anyways.

keep the celi

christ on a mother ****ing cracker

Definitely keep the celica. You will regret it in the end.

>> than dont post. sometimes people need a little push in one direction. in most cases they already have their mind made up, but if they see a good argument it could reinforce their opinion or make them form a new one. if u dont like it, dont click it.

now back to the topic, my g/f has an rs and its only got 60k and its burning oil badley, she bought it brand new in 99. its pretty quick for being the lowest model.. just think it through, there is much more aftermarket for an eclipse so if you wanted to you could make it go faster than a celli, and u also have a much bigger selection of bodykits and such,

but imo, stay celli >> than again we are all biased

The engine in that car is supposedly a lot more reliable than the problem-plagued 4G63T that resides in the turbocharged second generation Eclipses/Talons. My mechanic swears by that engine, and has one in his Neon that pushes 432 wheel horsepower.

That said, it's still probably not as reliable as a Celica, and the car isn't as unique either. I've got two friends with second generation Eclipses, and both of them are having various problems besides their engines right now. Both are having transmission and sensor issues.

I'd stick with the Celica if I were you. >>

if it was a gsx it would be a little bit harder of a desicion... but keep the celi over a rs
