Im correct in the belief that none of your 6g72 internals will fit the 3G Eccy 6g72?

 

well i dont think its a myth because ive heard of alot of 3k's spinning bearing. One of them, being in our garage .

And also to the original poster. Please dont start threads like this it is in the rules...

please just PM them the question

 

Yea, [TE] has got a 3kGT in the "mini-Ferrari garage"... I was wondering what the story was with that... thats a 2g, no?

 

Oh yeah, there is no myth that they spin bearings...that sadly, does happen. I was more referring to the myth that the 2-bolt mains were inferior to 4-bolt mains. From what I have read...they seem to spin bearings equally.

Dusty: That's a 1st gen Stealth in their garage...with a 2nd gen engine.

 

I probably know less about 3g Eclipse's than you know about 3s's...

What internals would you want...I'm sure you can get after market forged parts for an Eclipse.

 

Yes, they can be found... but I know someone whos got a 3s (2g) motor with a cracked block... hes stripping it for parts, and ifits got forged pistons and whatnot... I wonder if theyd fit my stock internals...

 

Sorry, I was just trying to avoid starting another GSX vs VR4 fight.

 

So would the 1995 VR4 be less work then a 1999GSX?

 

In the long run, they will be about the same.They can both be total disasters, or they can bothe be incredible cars. It REALLY depends a LOT on the owner, (you and the person/people that owned it previous). Though, statisticly, VR4s are considerably more to repair. Keep in mind that NEW the VR4 was somewhere along the lines of a purchase price like the Toyota Supra. But now go for prices closer to thier actual value. Youll notice theres a STEEP decline in the prices for those cars, yet not as steep when it comes to the 2G Eccys. There is little to NO point in asking for peoples opinion, as it will vary from person to person, (not to mention upset the general balance of things.) You would need to test drive each vehicle and see where your preference lies. 3KGT= Heavier and leaning towards a luxury sport coupe, whereas DSM is a lighter and less expensive option. Noone here will be able to tell you how YOUR specific car will be, as it will depend on you.

 

Good answer.

You hinted at one common misconception about the 3S. It truly is more of a GT (grand touring) car than a sports car. Heavy, comfortable, luxury items, geared for highway speeds.
