2GA vs 2GB: Which is better?

[bOOstd GSX]

Let's get this settled once and for all. Vote for which 2G Eclipse is better and why, 2GA or 2GB. Just for the records, I vote for the 2GB. Duh.

 

[L2RTSiAWD]

I voted for 2GB and I have a 2GA.

[bOOstd GSX]

, agreed.:laugh:

 

[willsdsm]

2GA lower CF drag

 

[MyEclipse5]

2GA, most of the time, they're cheaper, and when i get one, im getting a kti anyway. so might as well vote for the "usual" cheaper one

 

[Big Bald]

the 2gb because of the body.....but isn't the 2ga better built and have more options? I mean such as the 95 Eprom and 95 Manifold as well as rings and stuff like that? I know on the nt that the 97-99 have the most problems engine wise....

 

[14.5 drift]

I believe the 99 models had the crank walk issue's resolved

 

[97GS-TSpyder]

2gb talon i wonder why...

I higly prefer the 95-96 Reverse lights but, I love the 97-99 Front....

Also it gets no better (stock) then a high rise turbo wing.

97-98 Talon Body> All

 

[Spidey]

I like the 97-99 front and spoiler, and the 95-96 rear, but the 95-96 rear does look sort of bare without a lip, maybe I'm just used to mine.

BTW, I know why this thread was started. Just because people might like one thing more than another, doesn't exactly mean it's better or give you the right to think you're better because you have it(which it kind of seems you do, not that you're the only one).

TIA,
Spidey

2gb all the way.. where's the love for talons!?

 

[99gst_racer]

2GB MUCH better looking front and rear bumpers. (I hate the smiley face front on the 2GA's ) And 2GB's are less prone to become a crankwalk victim.

 

[a5ian5murf]

i vote for 2gB front, 2gA rear... yes!

 

[BlueTalon95]

I voted for 2GB and I have a 2GA.

Ditto for me

 

[eclipsed95]

I have a 2Ga that looks like a 2Gb, so I voted 2Gb. I don't like the reverse lights in the 2Gb either, but they go with the fogs and my projectors (round shape).

 

[GSX]

I've got them both .. my 95 GSX wins over the 97 GSX. Why, because it's easy to swap the bumpers but not the shopping cart wing.

In terms of Talons:

2GB front bumper rocks, but I think the rest of the body sucks. I like the smoothness of the 2GA Talon better, plus the AWD side skirts own.

In terms of Eclipses:
I like the 2GB eclipse everyway better than the 2ga eclipse.

is this true

 

[sexy]

I would say 2GA. The 2GB front is to low to the ground when lowered. If your not careful you can tear it up easy. Plus the A smiles and the B doesnt.

 

[dynatos]

what's wrong with a happy bumper?! :laugh:

Hell no. The cw issue was improved but not resolved. Some 99's have cw'ed even still....... But it is very rare and that is why I say 2GB's own 2GA's.

 

[paranoidTSi]

I have a EARLY 95 model, 109K and looking at its history it has had no crankwalk issues.

If 99s really resolved the crankwalk issue, I think we'd know what is causing it. So far I think the "oil squirter" theory works best.

It is no secret. The bearings weren't built to specs, and in some cases they were built so poorly the crank then begins to move. Mitsubishi has a special program out, if your crank begins to walk, where they make special bearings to fitted to your motor.

It's like...everytime my car breaks... I look over at it, and it's like it's laughing at me. I'm keeping the 2ga rear, actually I just picked up another matching one on ebay for 20bucks. But I'm gonna get a 2gb front.

Also, 109k miles... don't feel safe, mine didn't walk until 132k
