Default BIGGEST DECISION IN MY LIFE TIME!!!!!!

MITSUBISHI or HONDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!...WHAT DO I DO? OK.. I have a 98 gst turbo eclipse with just under 103,000 miles on it. Now when ever it rains i have alot of trouble starting it. Also i have to get my boy to put his Cat on and hook up o2sensors for my emissions test. THe car is in pretty good shape too.. Turbo manifold is a lil rusty, but i have a brand new transmission. It has 3 inch pipes all the way down, short shifter, greddy blow off valves, and engine work like ported intake i belive. 16 in black rims, enkine rs7 which are pretty nice, with a black exterior.

I bought the car like this for 6000 and that includes a new transmission...NOw..i was considering trading this in for like 6000-1000, somewhere between there and buying a honda. Don't think i could get enough for a Celica Gts. But what do you guys think i should do. I want the honda because it will have less miles on the eninge, and no work need to pass emmisions. Plus i can make it my own car, because my eclipse i bought done up..THe eclipse is my first car is my first car..only had it for a couple of weeks haven't even driven it that much.


WHAT SHOULD I DO? plz give opinons..i know its my choice, and it will be, but want some feedback,thanks guys

well what are your plans for the car ? am sure every one is going to tell you keep the dsm if u want to go fast but maybe you want to get a "flashy" honda
why do have trouble starting up in the rain ? and if u want to let the eclipse go how much$ ?

starting in the rain is an easy one... its to do with the conductivity in the ignition system with high humidity

Wow if he said that what else did he lie about?? They can run 9s or 11s with some $$$ matter of fact there are quite a bit that are in that regon.

As for your delema I would NEVER buy a honda for a car to hook up if you do your stupid to get rid of a Turbo car for one. Honda as a Daily driven econmical with no performance mods is cool but otherwise come on now
