im 16 and im looking into getting a second gen eclipse gs. i just dont have to money right now to pay insurance on a gsx, maybe in the future, along with an evo . but built right with a good turbo set up and built engine with all top shelf performance parts how much power is capable out of a 420a. im not scared to put the money into the engine over time and my dad is a mitsubishi master elite tech for 17 yrs now.

 

seriously the insurance cannot be much more between a GS and GSX. Your way better off getting the gsx. You start with a much better motor and base and having AWD. The cars are so old now that i just cant see the prices being all that different.

But you can do to a 420a as much as you want as long as money is not an option. But how much can you really afford to do if you dont even have the money to get insurance on a GSX. Because the 420a will take a good amount of money to make quick and you will have less reliability as you do with any car that gets modded. Also you know in order to get the most out of that engine you will need to rebuild the whole internals. I would get a quick quote on the GSX before you waste the time and money on a 420a.

And ask around. Everyone you talk to that buys a 420a will say the same thing. "I wish i just bought a GSX first"

 

Well said. Get the GSX if you can; let the GS be a daily driver.

Hello everyone,
What were you not worth? Is what I wrote trouble with it today?
I are in only so much that these will be the components into the car,
And a pair was my question,
My English knowledge very bad,
The car single Mitsubishi Eclipse 99 (420a)
You bring my questions:
-ECU can put on airs with it then the pistons with a bigger pressure ? (Factory compression 9.6.1 , Wiseco piston 10.5.1 )
-We your opinion the top line oil from a pump? ( I did not read good ones from him)
Your answer greet,
