I don't know much about Eclipses. But it looks alright. Nice color, wheels are ok, from what I can see the wing is not to bad either. I hear you on putting miles on the stang, it sucks. :notnice: I'm thinking about getting another old Corolla (mid-80's) as a daily driver. I had an 85 that was my first car, man that thing was a good gas friendly car.
 
I don't see why you would waste your time with it if it's your daily driver. Put that money towards the Cobra and you'll get more out of it. Theres always plenty of DSM cars at the tracks but they have their limits and theyre expensive to mod, keep it commuter!

My first car: 1987 corolla, poop-brown paint, ac, tape player. :nice: To bad it blew up. I would love to still have it to beat up and commute in.
Mitsu looks good btw. Those look better than the new ones IMO. If it were me, I would throw all of my mod-money at the cobra. Maybe a minor mod or two (excluding fart can exaust :notnice: ) for a more pleasurable driving experience, but nothing serious.
 
is that AWD or FWD? I'd love to get a and AWD turbo - 4 banger for my daily driver. Fun little cars, surprise the hell out of some people. Almost got a WRX, but the insurance on that and the stang would kill me. So for now i'm sticking with my 92 taurus :rolleyes: but hey it gets me where I need to be when it snows.

AWD,

Dude thats sick!! That car is really griggin nice for a DD, probably pretty quick too. Im looking for a POS Ford Fiesta/Festiva as a DD, doesnt even come close to your car!
 
Sweet daily driver IMO. First stick I ever drove was one of those. My friend bought one and said she couldnt drive a stick. I told her I could (figured it wouldnt be that hard) and it was a blast to drive. I would love a DD like that esp since my stang is being a PITA right about now. :bang:

How much BTW?
 
Thanks guys Yeah it was my X-mas prs. to my self lol, already have a intake, AirFuel/Boost/Oil Pressure. gauge's for it. 1G BOV and down pipe on order for it.
Its ok the awd is nice but its an auto I launch it at 3500 rpms and it makes the blood rush to the back of ur head :D. I had my friend drive it and I drove the cobra I finally caught around 20 then lost it again at 42 and was ahead of him by 6 cars at 100 mph its was a blast going to try to get 280 hp out of it then be done with it. they r fun good in snow to "AWD" . Just got the gauges last night and the BOMZ racing intake today going to go home and put it on after work. I cant wait but thanks guys I will get some good pics of it and the cobra together soon and I am going to put a video of them being raced on here next week its insane of the line lol
We did an AWD donut last weekend on wet black top omg talking about spinning it put the cobra to shame the G's from that make u sick ugh....
Well later guys
 
My 91 Mustang 2.3L n/a is my daily driver. At one point, I wanted to drop a 5.0L into it, another point I almost bought a 2.3L turbo powertrain to drop into it.

Than I realized, what's the point? I'll be more prone to street racing if the car is fast, I'll have dumped money into when it could've gone towards the GT, gas mileage would decrease, and it won't be as reliable as a daily driver should.
 
I have previously owned a 95 talon tsi awd (same thing as a gsx) and have stated many times that i think it was an awesome car, great gas mileage, AWD, extremely fast with the mods I had, would absolutely kill the mustang I have now, handled exceptionally, and I wish I never sold it. I just bought a jeep within the past week cause my stang has been in the shop for 13 out of the 16 weeks of the semester of my senior year, and my opinion of mustangs has decreased dramatically as you can imagine, considering I have spent thousands on the car and it still never runs right. I guess my friends were right when they talked about fords prior to my purchase. Anyway, I disagree with anyone who has anything negative to say about the dsm awd turbo cars, I think they are mint, and put money into it if you want, why not have two fast cars? The gsx will be a great daily driver modded or not, and modding does not require stickers, and it also does not require your entire bank account......
