car advice
ok so here it is, i am looing to purchase a very upgradeable, car. the first thing i thought was an eclipse, but i "test drove" my friends eclipse, its a 2001 gt,but i really dont like the way it looks, i mean yeah it drives nice, but i started reading about a 3000gt, and pretty much fell in love wit it. i was wondering if it is a good daily/racer. any comments welcome. actually if you are gona comment on how i should get one of those ricer hondas, then go **** yourself i dont want a 4 cylinder that ends up sounding like a pissed off weedeater on steroids.

Totally, im not trying to discourage him from that. Im just being realistic here. I mean if you want power, and speed, obviously something 15 years old is going to be a little on the unreliable side once you start modding. I'm also guessing that money is a factor here, so the 99 VR4's are out, because they are crazy expensive.

RE: car advice
reconsider that.... low budget... there ya go... like sebz stated depending on how abused is that 3kgt... it will be somehow unreliable, uncomfortable, if you get a good one, no big deal... but keep in mind... old car... and if that is not a problem... go ahead and welcome to the forums =)

RE: car advice
your making a big mistake going for a 3000GT over a DSM if you want a go fast car. If you want a daiy driver the 2000-2005 Eclipse is good but never will be fast. The 3000GT is expensive as hell to mods, a pain in the ***** to work on, and the early years bottom ends are only 2 bolt mains and they spin bearings easy which is no an easy fix
For get needing a v6 motor cause that is a Joke. I have an I4 and my car is faster than most V8s on the road. When I went to the track last years I had the second fastest street car there. I was beating supercharged mustangs and GTOs all day and it doesnt sound like a weed wacker when you have a turbo on a 4g63 motor.
