Hey I was just wondering if I could swap my 1999 eclipse gs 5 speed 420a into a non turbo awd? And if so what do I need and how much? Would like to turbo her down the road but not at the moment. Thanks!
 
Because you lack the skills and the money for it. There's no point, no gain; but I digress.

Nice to see you're a "4g63 killer" on a 140hp car..

This is my last post, i'm done with getting warnings.

Hey kid, my. Car does more than 140 hp. You have no idea the HP numbers this beast is putting to the pavement!

And obvisously if he's willing to spend more money making his nt eclipse awd, it means he does have enough to buy a gsx but just choices not too. My applause to this. Cause if he can pull it off with spending less than 10k I'm down
 
Haha. Yes it's very simple to just go an buy a gsx, able is many people can say i basically built a gsx from the ground up? Not alot I imagine. And thanks for everybody who has been nice and not rude like some other people. I was under the impression that this forum was for people who have no idea like myself but I guess I was wrong.
 
I dont see the reason to bash him about his question? I personally think a n/t eclipse gs awd would be awesome! You dont see that done everyday so right there would make it cool if he had it. Maybe he doesnt care if his car is the fastest car on the road and hes more focused towards looks than performance.. my one friend has a 420a eclipse rs and itll get smoked by anything but gets more looks than 80 percent of the cars on the road.. the thing people have to understand is everyone has there own preferences guys!! I say go for it man!! blow us all away when its done!! :hellyeah:
 
This was such a waste of time to read. N/T AWD car is stupid. The no balls 420gay would probably not be able to move all 4 wheels and just give up and die. If you truly have this much time and money to waste just buy a GSX or GST and convert it. Ditch the 420a.

:aha: Yeah I'm gonna pay 1400 dolalrs to ship my car to cali, then drive to wherever the F*** you are and race you at a track or something. Can I stay at your place? WE can have a sleep over and stuff too.Then I can stay awhile till I win enough pinkslips and make enough money flipping cas on craigslist, to ship myself and my car to hawaii.

Actually no
 
Btw for all the tool bags out there who were wondering I'm not freakig planning on turning my car int an awd it was a question asking if it were possible and I'm buying a gsx in the summer.
 
leon... i read your mods and people at work started looking at me to see why i was laughing so hard. You say "JDM" 25 times in your mods list,... 2 fast 2 furious. And i hate to break it to ya, but JDM pedals is not a drive train mod, and a painted valve cover is not an engine mod... your car is basically stock. I had a 1 tire fryer before I bought my TSI and I though it was so fast. Then I bought a TSI and my old 420a felt more like a radio flyer wagon... never looked back, never will.

Kheimbach, you will love your GSX when you get it.
 
Leonthefaded...How exactly do you have JDM parts on an american made car, with a dodge engine? Moron..

Heres his MODZ

Bolt-on Modifications:
JDM Bolt ons

Engine Management:
JDM ECU

Engine Internals:
JDM Intake tube JDM Intake Filter JDM Painted Valve Cover JDM Pistons JDM Rods JDM Bearings JDM Crankshaft JDM Valves/springs/retainers/etc JDM Camshaft JDM Pulleys JDM Block JDM Head JDM Bore JDM Oil pump

Drivetrain Modifications:
JDM Clutch, JDM Pressure plate (Extra Heavy) JDM Flywheel JDM Clutch Pedals

Suspension Modifications:
JDM Shocks, JDM Springs, JDM Brakes, JDM Wheels and tires, JDM Brake Lines,

Have you ever heard the saying "God hates ricers?"
 
Leon, how about I fly out to Hawaii and rent a car and I'll race your "JDM" 420a for pinks? And WHEN i win, you can pay for my plane ticket home and for the car to be shipped out! Sound good?

Don't try to bullsh*t people on a DSM forum! A lot of the guys on here know everything there is to know about these cars and can smell bullsh*t from a mile away. I'd sell your eclipse and work on your Honda! Your "JDM" parts will bolt right up! ROFL

And Kheimbach, 4g63 is where its at! you'll like it a lot more than your 420a. Good luck to you! :thumb:

Why won't you die? Everything you post is useless. Hence your red bar.

OP, please ignore this fool. If you want AWD for cheaper than what you're plan calls for, buy a GSX. If you really want to throw money away to make a inferior car AWD, then experiment with the 420a trans.
 
Aaaaaand this thread is done.
