just a gs. but i figure i can flip it and get more then $400 out of the car due to the shape it is, or swap in a 4g63 idk yet. its a fun little car to rip around in. and yes i know its rice and yes it is slow.

Great pick up, as you could easily make 2-4 grand profit on the turn around, depending on the miles/mechanical condition. Slow? Yes, but not rice IMO. I had a 98 RS in 2002 that I put a used hahn turbo kit on, ran strong for 11 thousand miles on 9 psi, then I sold it. I heard the guy I sold it to blew the motor trying to run 16 pounds, poor 420a never stood a chance....

While it was running good though, it would have walked 90%, maybe more of the grand prix GTP's here. Not to say that's a gold benchmark, but you get what I'm saying.
 
yeh im debating if i should flip it. the syncros is bad and 5th wont stay in gear. miles shes got 188k but the speedo and odom dont work. gona read up on the motors first and if i can find a wrecked 4g63 ill prolly swap it in and turbo it
 


finally! haha i was waiting for someone to say that. no im loyal to the GP, im just keeping it as my DD.
 


ill be doing all the maintenance on to get it back running in good condition. Motor rebuild or swap and tranny rebuild prolly, suspension, all that good fun stuff.

You mean upgrade the turbo? 4g63's are already turbo I4's. If you wanted to keep it as a DD I would suggest just finding another low milage 420a. They're dirt cheap, and can be found everywhere. Neons, eclipse, avengers, even sebrings I believe all shared the 420a. And while not indestructable by any means, they are a little more reliable then a 4g63. Your chances of finding a 420a not beat to hell, are alot better then trying to find a 4g63 in the same condition. At least this has been my experience, others my have different thoughts.
 
Not really. The 4G63's were N/A 2.0 DOHC's. The 4G63T's were turbo'd. I say drive it till it explodes...then put another 420A in it.

Those were only in first gen eclipses, I guess I just assumed we talking second gen. In which case the T is simply implied with 4g63.
