Should I go for it or should I stay with the eclipse

[cano86]

Hey guys I just got an e-mail with an offer to trade my car. The car they want to trade is a Mazda Mx-6 1996 turbo should I go for it here are some pics.http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?Let me know your opinion thank you

Link didnt work. But I would say keep it, unless its super clean.

 

[cano86]

Pics are fixed now let me know your opinion

Keep the eclipse....

 

[Booster-Shot]

Pictures are too small but it doesnt look that clean.

 

[cano86]

The body is real clean but I dont think it has as much potential and is not as much fun as the eclipse since that mazda is also a 6cyl and high gas prices is real tuff

 

[Booster-Shot]

So why are you asking.

 

[dsm03]

You can't be serious... MX-6 over the Eclipse... Dude come on..!!! This shouldn't even be a question to ask yourself..

 

[cano86]

I wanted to hear some opinions before making a real desicion

 

[Side_Show]

definately keep the eclipse. MX-6 are cool when they have a rotary, but thats like in PR.

 

[hpexperts]

wow, you thought of trading your eclipse for that JUNK? are you crazy, unless you getting 3g's on top of it.

 

[sargev55]

uh no, dont do that.

the only factory turbo models were the generation previous to that body shape.

motor options for that and the ford probe since they are the same thing was a lame 170hp 2.5l v6.


the only turbo probe/mx6 of that gen i have ever seen threw a rod while the guy was showing off in front of some local dsm guys like 5-6yrs ago. did not make a good impression.

plus the dsm has untold amounts more of potential.


why would you even consider this sort of transaction?

edit: the first gen turbo probes and mx6s made 145hp stock...why would you want to screw around with that.

also, look at the aftermarket for ford probe and mx6, its barely existent, and totally not worth modding.

the 96 mx6 weighs about the same as a 2g gs-t, with a crappier motor, and far less overall potential. common sense says a TOTAL NO to this idea.

Keep the Eclipse.. I can't believe this is even up for debate

 

[ricktb]

where I'm from AWD dsm's are rare, I've heard the mazdaspeed6 is the one you want anyway

The OP has a gs-t, and the ms6 is in a totally different price range. You cant really compare the two.

V6. RX=rotary experiment. rx7 rx8 are rotary. its hard for me to believe that mazda is turbo charged.

 

[mnr88talon]

dude... WTF

 

[cano86]

Ok guys so I talked to the guy from the mazda and told him I wasnt going for it am staying with the eclipse in fact I started prepping it for paint is looking real good now I will be posting before and after the paint job am working on buying a good compressor to set it up in my brother-in-laws garage thank for your opinion guys

 

[noonan98turbo]

I cant believe your even considering this trade.

 

[crimsondragon]

You must not have read the previous post.

Whats so hard to believe about it?

 

[sargev55]

Whats so hard to believe about it?

maybe because you cant see an intercooler in the picture.

i really doubt someone would do an aftermarket turbo kit for the 2.5l v6 that comes in that car and not have a proper front mount as well.

the pics are also total crap and if i was selling a car that i added a turbo kit to, i would have pics of the turbo and of the intercooler as well.


maybe thats just me though.

 

[Jeff99GS]

A Mazda MX6 looks like a fish head. I'm glad you didn't trade


Now some of the older ones look cool

seriously..

if you have to ask, maybe you should trade it, if you don't know about the car you possess

Why did you even consider? DSMs are the greatest cars on earth! Someone will have to pry the keys to mine out of mine cold dead fingers. I think I may......yep.
