[WhiteAccord]

DSM = MORE POTENTIAL

[MR2DR]

DSM = crankwalk =P

[jr4mny]

continue.. still aint decided yet!

[PSINXS]

240sx +2jz= DSm killer.

buy a shell spend 8k at MAINSTREAM PERFORMANCE and get yourself a 2jz swap with 300whp/300wtq out the box.

[Lucky DAWG]

the eclipse looks like a damn space shuttle with the tail lights like that, go with the 240 hands down.

PSINXS has a good idea there too. you can go snatch a 2jz-gte for around 2k, get it installed and do a few mods and possibly switch in a single.

Toyota motors FTW!

[wantboost]

i think you would like the eclipse better, and just so i know who you are paint it somthing like this:http://www.startribune.com/stonline/images/news89/div05b.l.jpg

the 240 is a much better project car
that 2jz will lay waste to anything on the road

acting hard? no not really. it just gave me a headache trying to read your original post, and look at your post now, it is atleast a little easier to read.

now for the questions, what do you want to do with the car? what is you budget? how much wrenching experience do you have?

[jr4mny]

with a 240..engine swap..was thinking sr20 but then everyonez recommendin a 2jz....so mayb that....s15 front end conversion, audio, int.. rimz

eclipse gst- bodykit lol nutin too out there...i would make it look good. bigger turbo.. intercooler..interior..audio...rimz..

dont know wat else...yet

3k-5k or more mayb..to buy the car.. dependz on the car

[jr4mny]

Get the DSM if. You want more of a daily driver/ weekend fun car. It will be faster out the box, and dollar for dollar, will make more power than the 240. But its front wheel drive, which is boring either way you look at it.

Get the 240 If you want something to BUILD. Its rwd, and it has a huge aftermarket, so you can make the car into anything that you want.

Personally I would get the GST convertibl. Call me :gay:. I don't care.

[Gutling]

if u got any kind of cash laying around to put into it after u buy it, 240. engine swap, sr20 or 2jz or rb26 all = fun

stock for stock, dsm. already turbo, fun. but that eclispe...looks like azz. id say the 240 just because it dont make me throw up in my mouth

[Sol-Badguy]

gsX ftw.

yea if i waz to get a gst it would prolly be convertible! gotta get them girl`z haha! but yea i like both but ill make a decision soon!

[Lownismo17]

damn tied @ 50%.. i voted s13 because they are cheaper to buy in general and is rwd which is good for dragracing.. but as for looks the eclipse wins handdown, just depends on what u want

[jr4mny]

yea tru..

[jr4mny]

BUMP!!!! on the lookout 4 a 240...and gst which eva 1 i find and can get for a good deal...

[admedlin]

it all really depends on what you want to do with it. I mean either way, you're going to wind up being like everyone else with one. I mean if you go GS-T, you're going to want to get bigger turbo, injectors, etc. then want to buy another car while that one is in the shop. If you go with the 240, there's the endless list of swaps that everyone else has, wheels that everyone else has, etc. Then you'll want to buy another car when you try to drift and hit a curb and bend your wheels.

So, basically you're going to wind up spending a lot of money on the car in the long run, why not go with something newer?

I voted the GST because everyone is always trying to go JDM drifter with the 240 and its getting old. I'm with Nick, get a white GST convertible, keep it looking stock, and be a sleeper. Whatever you do, don't get crazy Mexican paint jobs, gold flakes, or put your last name across the back window. Please.

[StupidBikerBoy]

Why no S14 posted?

I voted S13, simply because its RWD. If you're really looking for performance and fun factor, you'll regret buying a FWD.

I whoever said theres more potential in the DSM is fooling themselves. The 4G63 can be a stout motor, but you can put almost any engine in a 240. A 4G63 would have to have serious money in it to hang with just a stock LS1 powered 240 getting 25++ mpg. And the potential for that motor alone is amazing considering its lighter than the stock KA and can have over triple the displacement.

A GSX would be nice, but you should look into the problems they have with drivetrains.

As far as styling, the newer DSM beats the s13 hands down IMO, but not an S14.

[TheSnail]

91 Probe turbo. Looks like a s13 hatch, but has a fwd turbo engine like the eclipse.

and its in your price range.

[viperbite]

get the 240
easy choice
first off FR > FF
if im not mistaken that year is a ff eclipse correct?
anyways
2jz swaps or rb26det are excelent choises
both swaps require about the same work

2jz, rb26det= good choices, but require some work? um yea......... ROFL i wont flame you lol

[down_shift]

he can't afford either car let alone a 2j or rb swap.

[wantboost]

^^ which was why i was laughing at the rb26 being brought into this thread lol

[BigTs13]

dont get a 240 or eclipse. save your money for a v8. but if u HAVE to choose. id say 240 (just cause ive owned 2)

[NoNafs]

240. . . DSM motors are zero tolerance and high maintenance, they'll both give you gains but drop an rb20 in the 240 and call it a day.
