hmmmm.... Any thoughts on these 2?
-1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD for 2k. 144k miles. rebuilt engine that is in the car, just needs things hooked back up in the engine bay... cons: rebuilt title. automatic trans. not sure if there are misc. things wrong. interior needs cleaned up.
-1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST for 1.5k. 130k miles. decent condition. manual trans. will come with the stock wheels, stock hood, and stock hatch. cons: claims to have a burnt valve. had a ticking noise in the engine and took it to a mechanic who apparently thought the same thing. so will probably rebuild the top end. thankfully doesnt seem very expensive to do myself. not sure if anything else is wrong.
i give zero shits about drag times between the two and which is faster than the other. i plan on doing a lot of visual mods and do not want to have to do a lot of engine crap or dump money into it just to have it run. any thoughts/suggestions? in the pics the green car with the big wing is the 95 Talon TSI AWD. the black looking car with the custom hood is the 98 Eclipse GST (the guy will only include the hood if i pay an extra $500). i would be ALL OVER the TSI AWD if it was a manual... also, iv read that 95-96 has had issues with the ECU and other stupid crap, which was fixed in the later years for the 2g.
Thank you for any help and input!
