hey everyone im looking into getting an eclipse used, i dont want the 2003 nor can i afford them so im looking into something older. what would be the best year? i see alota 97 eclipses selling but i heard those are prone 2 crankwalk so whats up?
 
any 92' AWD DSM produced before June... it has a 6-bolt engine, and a 4-bolt rear end...
 
ya 92 is the best as he said, but if u want a second gen i think 99 is the best??:confused: well its all ur preference, i think 1 gens look great, while others think they are ugly and would much rather prefer a 2nd gen regardless, good luck :thumb: :dsm: :talon: :laser:





P.S. get a 1992!!!
 
Personally I started out liking the 2G Eclipses (97-99) but then I went to 1G (92-94) and now I like the pop up design the best plus it has a six bolt. If I were you I'd get a 98 talon/eclipse or a 99 eclipse if you have the money. They look SO NICE and they're pretty new cars so less problems but make sure you check for crankwalk.
 
inexspensive and fast= early 92
relitively cheap and looks and turning= earily 95 (production 94)

95s (produced in 94) have eprom ecus, 2 piston fronts, vented rear rotors and the smallest ratio of CW out of any 2gs produced.

the earily 92 do have the beefy 6 bolt motor and a 4 bolt rear end. the best of both worlds.

2G's:gotta love the 97-99 Eclipse's,the 97-98 Talons looked great also but the eclipse's looked better
1G:There is absoulutley no comparision....the Talons look meaner and nicer!!
-Best year eclipse:
Best motor:90,91,early 92
Best looks:99
Overall:91:D

-i'd like to know that as well, and i think we all get the picture; 92 rules(early ones that is)
 
I (did) have a May '92 6bolt/4bolt Only a few weeks before they switched....

Anybody else out there have one of these rare ones? :)
 
A teal '93 Eclipse GSX with a 6 bolt swap ;) Best of all worlds, 1G conventional headlights (92-94), 6 Bolt motor, 4 bolt rear end :thumb: Ofcourse a '97-'99 GSX with a 6 bolt swap would suit my fancy also :D
 
I've got the 6-bolt 4-bolt combo, PLUS the LSD in the back since i have no ABS :) Best of EVERY world. Mine was a April of 92.

And it is one of the lightest models since there is no ABS, no Sunroof, no Leather.

I have LSD too so bite me :p
 
my 92 was made in march, i have abs, lsd, and very slippery leather. no sunroof either, that abs is awesome when you need it too, the wieght isn't cool though.
