Is it a GST or GSX?

[Flossy_DSM]

So I'm working on buying a new Eclipse but I'm not sure if it's a GST or GSX. They said it's a GSX but I haven't been able to see the car in person yet. Here are some pics of the car I'm buying, can anyone help me out?

I see no issue with getting a turbo FWD car as a spare, especially when AWD isn't needed (for weather in the north, for example).

My mistake, I thought he was trying to get into the dsm game with this car. If it's just a fun little DD then I would get it if the price is good. I'm actually planning on picking up a 98 gst with 136k for $1200 so just depending on what kind of deal you're getting.

Damn tough crowd. Lol well a step up from an RS Eclipse to me makes me happy. And yeah, I live down by a bay so I doubt I'm gonna see snow or something like that if that's what your talking about snowborder.

If you really want it go for it, but why not just hold out for a GSX if this is going to be your first real DSM? (RS/GS don't count).

Nothing wrong with fwd. Plenty of fwd cars on this site with more power than your 14b can put out. Plus 2gs are lot easier to swap once you find a parts car.

I need a commuter soon and this GST is pretty much all that came up to my budget at the moment. And around where I live either there isn't much GSX's or people freakin sell them for 10k.

Its a gst, gsx are leather interior, premium package.

I've seen a 2g GST with leather interior so it could be either or, but as someone said you really should just check out the vin / get a carfax report before you purchase the car.

i went to buy full interior from a 97 gst and it had cloth interior and no side skirts from the factory! XD
couldnt make sense of it

Since the seller told you its AWD, and its not I bet it is lacking some huge maintenance, take it to a mechanic that knows dsm's, not some one that says they know cars. I get that a lot around here!

Dude just gtfo. I know of a non turboed 420a on this site that would spank your candy ass. You need to quit dissing on tuners, FWD drivers, and RS/GS drivers. Your car ain't special. Probably gets smoked by non v-tec 1.6 hondas all the way to track, all day @ the track, and all the way home.

GS-T can be a fun freeway beast

Front wheel drive for the loss

. Easy man. My stock transmission open diff FWD would put it to your AWD on the street and the track.

While I understand your gist, for ever 1 GST in the 10s, I can find 10 GSXs.

Take a look at Kiggly Racing... That's a FWD car.

Good to see we're still arguing about which is better. Thread has been answered so I'm going to close it before this turns into something worse.
