well i am thinking dd, they just seem to be carlot whores, there always on lots. i had just heard before that they tend to have the crankwalk issue. also what about building one up. how strong is the engine to mantain. i know the 3sgte in the alltrac's and mr2's are great engine and will last as long as you dont boost to high and what not but how good are the 4g's? i mean i have had my 97 celica since 2003 and only had to replace one parts the solenoid shifter, besides that nothing else beside basic cv axles, tires, and plugs and wires. i have never had a issue with it. are the eclipses notorious for this to? I just tend to see them on craiglist with blown engines and other issues like spark plugs welded themself into the block, is this from people trying to be fast and furious with a four cylinder? over revving and dogging the car out? or is this common. thanks everyone for you opinnion so far.
