new car
I'm considering buy a 2g eclipse with around 100,000 miles on it i want either a gs or a rs but i dont know the difference between the 2, what should i look for in these cars when i check them out is there anything that goes around 100k miles.

RE: new car
The only difference is the options that each came with such as power windows, ect. But The one problem that those always seem to have is the headgaskets going. So i would check for smoke coming from the exhuast or over heating issues and if there is white gunk under the oil cap. But even if it has it, its a pretty quick fix. Also just do the usual checks. See if it shifts ok, how the engine sounds. How it runs and drive, ect.

what do you mean by that? (assuming you already owned an rs...) did your old RS blow a head gasket? also i want to make sure that you are not looking for power from this car! you CAN NOT extract anything over 140-150whp from these engine without dumping a few grand into them (3k+), just a forewarning

well i was looking at some 2g eclipses on cardomain and i felt like the most whp someone had that was non turbo was 175 and thats what i would want to doo, basiclly as much as i can without turbo'ing the car. I would get a new exhaust intake and was looking at a reflash? that would only get me at 150? what are my other options?

Just boughta '97 gs. Needs a new head gasket and a few minor things. New oil sender, and the steering rack assembly is leaking very little. Make sure he has replaced the timing belt if not this needs to be done asap.($300-500). Mine has 186,000 miles and these are the only problems I have faced so far.
