o yea about that one guy who said about half a body kit ive got the side skirts out in my shed and stock front bumper and stock lights front and back and ive got to go get my stock back bumper. ive got a bunch of the stock parts that i may just put back on the car and just buy another 95 eclipse rs with out turbo from what i hear it wears the engin out faster with turbo (i also i dont want turbo cuz of gas prices) and im only 15 so im doing the best i can do and i need me a car that will last for awhile.
 
I'm an angry person, So obviously this would make me angry.

The 420a does not come from the factory with a turbo. If you buy another one expect it to be nonturbo unless it was done custom by the owner of the car.

Any car is reliable, It's about how well maintained it was.

When you go get your back bumper, I hope you dont just let all this slide and tell the guy oh yaaaa everything is going great, Thats not the case.. It's not, He scammed you, He should pay.

Gas prices are getting high. But, Try not to step on the pedal as much, It does save gas if your not w.o.t everywhere you go.

From what you hear, Obviously everything you hear is a bunch of crap, Dont listen to what you hear. They are all lying to you, That was made clear in your first few posts.

Read alot and you will learn.
 
Wow..

RS's dont have turbos period. The car you have is a basemodel Eclipse. The GST's and GSX's had 4g63 turbos. That car will never be truly fast unless you drop an assload of money into it which in the end would be stupid.

As far as lasting you a long time.. I have a 92 Talon TSI which IS a 4G63 turbo AWD. Its got 185,000 on the car. It was rebuilt 26k ago and since then has given me zero major problems pushing around 375whp daily driven. There are plenty of other guys out there with HIGH mileage DSMs pushing power with no problems. You gotta understand most people are ####ing stupid, yourself included and dont know what they are talking about. You got owned by that guy, maybe you will learn from it.

You paid 3,800 for a dressed up Neon with a broken motor. :thumb:
 
Wow 15 and buying a car good job. However you should have had a mechanic look at the car before you buy it (hell get one to look at it now), dont even trust close friends with something like that. You learned your lesson now move on. 1) you got swindled, if you want try to get your $ back, or get at least a portion of it back for him being a dick. Look up the blue book value of the car and say you want the difference, and if the car is broken take that off too. You may be able to go to court with something like this. 2) You dont need a car that fast you are 15, im only 18 but i'm on my second gst and it gets you in trouble, drive a 420a and learn some stuff and then get something with a 4g63 in a year or a year and a half. 3) research before you do anything like this again.
 
i can get my money out of this car no problem i paid $3800 i can sell it right now for $4000 to this one guy and i had a guy blue book it for me he says $5000 but i dunno but if i want to sell it i can get 200 extra out of it. so if it is to much of a prob i can sell it.

Sell it
 
Lets put it this way, Your car has the RS badge, another rreason it was never a turbo, You basically own a neon in DSM skin, A nice care none the less, Just alittle more show then go :rolleyes:

Where I live you could easily get 10k for your car.
 
Hell I think he should drop the SRT-4 motor in it. Someone around here has done it, and I didnt believe it until I saw it with my own eyes. OMG

your car never had a 4g63 in it, every non turbo 95-99 eclipse/talon had the chrysler 420a, except the spyder convertibles that had the mitsubishi 4g64 2.4 liter non turbo...and dont listen to those saying the 420a is crap, it has potential, but will cost thousands of dollars to reliably produce the same power as a stock 4g63t

FYI
In Europe the GS came with a non turbo 4G63. But I don't think any of those will show up in USA. Nobody would go through the hassle of importing a GS. Here is a pic of one it's a 1G but anyways.

if i decide to sell the car im going to take the front bumper off rear bumper off and install the stock ones i have out back behind my house in a shed. and i will also put on the stock lights front and back so i could put all of these parts on a diffrent eclipse. just the only thing i dont like about this car is that the engin is basicaly a neon in diffrent skin. :thumbdown i dont like that at all. But still in my town my eclipse is about the fourth fastest but still its a damn neon in diffrent skin :mad:
 
CHEAP HP LOL! What is this "Ballin on a Budget" man take the advise of many others and sell that damn thing. It sounds like you just bought it and are allready having problems with it. 2G non turbos ar enotorious for Crank Walk and sort of sounds what you have! Sell the car and either get a 1G throw some go fst on it or buy a 2G and throw your "Fast and Furious" body kit on it. Whoever offered you 4G for a 2G RS TAKE IT.
 
LEKS- 2G non turbos ar enotorious for Crank Walk and sort of sounds what you have!

Excuse me!? Only the 2G 7bolt 4g63t motors are "enotorious" for crankwalk. Besides, any engine can develope CW, not just mitsu motors.

I have never had a problem with my 96 RS. The 420A is a very reliable, and stout motor. I would never waste my time or money on trying to make it fast, but it is a great daily driver, and I think that the car this kid bought will only get him into trouble. This car will be nothing but an attention whore for the local PIGS. They will be all over you. Just my opinion though.

Your Excused! Every 2G I have ran into with Crank Walk has been a.......yep you guessed it.....420A

So your Excused...... :p

Funny, Ive never ever ever heard of a 420A crankwalking. I have heard of 1g 6 & 7bolts crankwalking though. Most commonly the turbo 95's and 97's I believe with the highest occurrences with CW.

Also, to the thread starter: Man, you got ripped off big time. Sell it, and sell it fast. Stop listening to your friends because they are probably just more dumb wannabe highschoolers who have no idea what they are talking about (duuh, its a 4g63 ahyuk ahyuk :rolleyes: ).

Learn a little about the car you are going to buy, otherwise you just get yourself into shit (like you obviously did).

Are you sure your not the thread starter? 95-99 7bolt 4g63t (mitsu engine) are the engines that are prone to develope CW. The 420A isnt even a mitsu motor. Its a freakin chrysler motor. Make sure you know what you tlking about before you start telling people wrong info.

Uh WhoTF are you and WHatTF are you stepping into? I said every 2G I have messed with CW has been a 420A who said anything about "The 420A isnt even a mitsu motor. Its a freakin chrysler motor"WherTFdid that come from??? So do yourself a favor and STFU. Hopefully you just half ass read or quoted the wrong person, cause you just made yourself look like a royal dumb a$$ :shhh: dont speak unless being spoken to. Here I'll make it plain and simple for you here is what I said "Every 2G I have ran into with Crank Walk has been a.......yep you guessed it.....420A" meaning I myself have seen a shit load of CW in NON TURBO 420A's. I think the other guy said it clear ANY ENGINE CAN HAVE CW so again STFU:thumb:
 
well im not having to pay a dime to get the engin fixed im only 15 and my dad is going to pay to get it fixed (and any other problems as well) but from what every body is saying is drop a diffrent engin in or sell it. but ive kinda decided to go for 60% show and 40% Go. and plus show wont get me into as much trouble as go will.


CHEAP HP LOL! What is this "Ballin on a Budget"

im just trying to get more bang for the buck considerring i dont have much money to play with
 
Looks can get you in actually more trouble than the actual speed. Thats like hanging a steak in front of a dog, you know hes gonna bite it. Cops love to see young kids cruising in their fancy cars, gives them all the reason more to pull them over and see whats going on. Doesnt mean youll get a ticket but does mean lots of time pulled over on the side of the road. :D

Wow after that well thought out post do you still wonder why people are skeptical of the validity of your claims. Yeah it would seem someone is comming off as a "royal dumb a$$." :rolleyes:
