Eclipse AWD?

So a buddy of mine just bought a used late 90's Eclipse. He said it is the AWD turbo model and it is stock except for a cai.
Aren't those called GSX-T's or something like that?

Anyway, he's sayin he's gonna own my stock SS/SC.

Does anyone know what these are capable of?
I've never had a run in with one and I was just curious.

Thanks in advance!

Dont worry about it to much. The GSX arent that great from a roll. As long as he is on the stock 14b turbo you will be fine.

If it is tuned right then it wont be an issue. It is the trannys that are the problem on them. Yeah big turbo, with a good tune on a DSM = Ownage of almost anyone.

Yes and supporting mods too. The good thing is that mods are really cheap to do.

He said something about upgrading the turbo, so I guess I had better hurry up and take him on huh.

Those cars are all garbage. They break and are in the shop more than they are on the road.

Crankwalk anyone??

You will walk him.

If it takes a 20g for a DSM to take a stock balt then there is something mental with the driver and he shouldn't have a license to start with.

Stock vs. stock...you will win but not by much.
MBC for $10 and airbox mod and he'll own you. Simple as that.

they al break down because they are DSM's. But they are fast, and can be very fast.

Like DSMissed said. now you'll take him. but he can turn the boost up for like 19.99 and he will be out of your league

They all break because the 99% of the people that tune them are idiots.

To run 11's in a awd dsm you need the following:
Evo 3 16 G
Front mount intercooler
550 cc/min fuel injectors
SAFC
Airbox mod
Open dump wastegate
3" Thermal R&D turbo back exhaust

Yep, thats it. And thats first hand experience to

Stock vs stock you should take him easily.

DSM's take mods very well, i have a few friends with full exhaust and boost controls running high 13s all day.

"You're" can be used in a sentence (correctly) as "You're a retard if you think your (note usage) DSM is a reliable car".

Get it?

Wow. You really are lame. Thanks for proving that, and that I have sooper horibil gramar and a POS car that would NEVER beat your Honda. I probably know more about your own cars than you do.

And if you know so much about crankwalk, please tell me how my 1g will get it. And I'm not sure...but wouldn't my axle break long before my tranny would????? HMMMM You might want to research before you try and talk **** to me about a car you obviously don't know anything about.
