I am wanting to get a 95-99 Eclipse. I am really wanting a GSX or a GST but the insurance will be too steep for me (I'm only 17). Does the GS have the same engine as the turbos? If it does then I will get a GS and then get a turbo kit. Thanks a lot for your help.

WOAH!!! Completely different engine in the GS/RS and GSX/GST

The engines in the GS/RS are 420A Chrysler engines, similiar to the engine in some Dodge Neons.

The engines in the GST/X are 4G63T, mistubishi engines, very similiar to those in the 1G Turbo DSM's.

Hahn Racecraft makes a good turbo kit for the 420A engine if you want to go that route.
 
My friend has a 1999 GS and he put a Greddy turbo kit. He claims he runs high 13's.
 
i would get a gsx but my mom wont let me get something that fast. but i can always sneak on a turbo:)
 
they didnt even ask me if it was a gst or gsx or anything like that. they didnt even ask me if it was a turbo. they just asked stuff like how many seats, convert or not, any custom stuff like wheels and stuff like that. never once asked about a turbo. my advise - call your insurance provider and just ask. if you have a 3.0+ gpa you may get a discount, and completing drivers ed sometimes gets you an insurance waiver that saves about 5%. .

Oh I thought the GS/RS had the 4G63 like i said either way you can still put a kit on it even tho its the 420a.
 
see the thing is...my mom pays for my insurance and my g@y brother will tell her that it has a turbo...so im screwed. i saw a 95 gs for 7,900 and it has 117k miles. its in really good shape. only 1 little scratch on the black trim above the drive side door. i think its a good deal...what do yall think?
 
so your bro will rat on you? well, we DSMers have a method for taking care of people who try to screw us. its called nut kicking. all you do is kick him in the nuts and tell him not to tell your mom about the turbo or you will do it again. :D
 
haha...good idea, but he is like way bigger than me. he would kill me...but i can always blackmale him;-)
 
just get a gst or gsx. I was 18 when i got my gst and I was only paying $100 for full cover. I had 1 speeding ticket and 1 ticket for going right trough a stop sign I ended up hitting another car too both cars where junk afterwards. Thats when I lost my 90 gst. but now i have my 95 gst :D and i'm still paying 100 for full cover.

wooooaahhh!!! 100 full coverage for a 95 gst. thats exactly what i have (a 95 gst and i pay way more... and no tickets!!) What insurance company?!?!?!?!?!? whats the catch? there's got to be one.
 
well, he's got a 1.8 '92 i don't know what the heck that engine is. the 1G GS's had the 4G63 sans turbo. but i don't know jack about the 1.8. all the turbo kits i've ever seen for non-turbo dsm's are for 2G 420A motors. so you may be SOL. you should ask one of the guru guys who knows about 1G.
just sell your car and get a GST or GSX. Allstate didn't ask me about turbo. also you can take a defensive driving course and get 10-15% off you premium and look real responsible in front of your mom.
 
i have heard of some insurance companies charging more highly mod'ed vehicles especially those with lots of obvious exterior mods.
