In the fast and the furious, the car Paul Walker drives is a First Gen gsx right? correct me if i'm wrong..i eventually want to do my car up and ****, but i am in high school and then collage and ****..so i'd figure either keep my car and just build the engine over, or just get a new car to build. I have a 98 gst..black on black..I have pics but can't figure out how to get them on this site lol...


But anyway, is their a real significance in the First generation eclipse's speed VS the 2g? Cuz i might consider getting one..


Also what do you 1g owners think of your cars?

 

the eclipse he was driving was a 2nd gen gsx.

 

Well....like stated above...It was a 2nd gen GSX....I have a 1g GSX and I love it. Want a stronger motor that doesn't have crankwalk...I'm telling you pal...get a 4g63-T from a 90-92.5 Eclipse or Talon...strong six bolt motor...

 

woops lol...its been a while since i've seen that movie...(feel like idiot)..lol..

i thought the first gen eclipse had a strong motor?

 

nvm...you mean even stronger..i got ya bro..i'm just not with it today.

 

NOOO the car the green one was a RS\GS actually it was a 420a motor which only came in the non turbo eclipses

 

the motors untill 92.5 in the Turbo DSM eclipses were the strongest ones made the 95-99 are the worst they are known to crankwalk and is and extensive and costly fix

 

Dumb *** Newbie question what is the def. of Crank Walk

 

exactly what it sayss lol.. The crank walkes side to side and cause the motor to break badly. For more detail and indepth look just hit search and type crank walk and look around

here are to links to look at

The intraweb is a wonderful place full of information. For some I guess letting them use the intraweb is like giving a monkey a gun. Its funny to watch but not dangerous becuase they dont know how to use it.

I watched some history channel thing on movie cars, did you know that the gsx had a stock motor/turbo, it has a cool exaust and a fmic, bov, and some hollywood shiny stuff. Also the rx7 that vin drove was a auto. Apparently the cars were "modded" by the same guy who built that crazy looking car for the movie "the monsters".
