ok so ive heard many things i can do and should do but im not sure of what to do. im about to get a 1991 talon n/t. i have a bare t25 and stock intercooler next to me but was wondering: should i just drive this stock car around for a bit untill i feel like selling it for a awd and/or turbo car. i like the 2g eclipse the most out of dsm's but that doesnt matter. idk if i should keep on the path of trying to turbo my n/t or just sell this car in the future for a stronger base AWD turbo or something. i wish i had 2 of the same cars so i can put the parts i like on one and sell the other but miracles dont happen like that. i need some smart economical guidelines

Yes, it would be much easier and cheaper to just get a turbo car. You will save yourself a lot of time and headaches in the long run IMHO. Keep it stock until you're ready to move on.

^What he said. Just get a turbo DSM and be done with it.

how much could my car even be sold for? like what would people buy for? on kelly blue book it said like 2.2grand and i doubt someone would do that.
Its has a 4g63 2.0l
rebuilt transmission
140k miles
redone ceiling of the interior so its not all droopy
no tears* in the seats
clean grayish white interior.
16" black Konig's with brand new tires
the only thing thats broken on the car is the car lighter is loose and doesnt work, and the driverside running light has a crack which doesnt matter. the guy bought a passengerside one so i have a spare on that side

You might be able to get around that out of it. It all depends on the demand for them in your area. It seems to vary depending on location, but around 2 grand seems doable to me.

I agre with just getting a turbo car. You can find some 1gs pretty cheap if your patient enough. You will move that none turbo a lot quicker if you leave it stock.

Sell that and get a turboed one. Check Craigslist and if you have a local DSM website they usually have cars for sale on there.
