Lords of Death Forums Lords of Death Forums LoD General Discussion Car Question.

I disagree on all of those cars. I say, get yourself a Galant VR4. Nice ride, nice power, AWD. Or go the other route, get yourself a 99 GSX. Sporty, stylish, great cost to power ratio and as long as you dont rice it out, it will turn heads in the proper fashion.

#1 most in the shop car
breaks down all the time
i'd never ever ever get one, unless it was free.

wouldn't get an Eclipse unless I was paul walker

What are you talking about? I have had the car( my car in picture ) almost a year, in that time I have heavly modified it ( purchased it stock )and to date have had little to no problems unless they are things that I caused. Eclipses, Talons and Lasers ( DSM's ) are reliable cars as long as you keep up on maintaining them and dont go cheap on things ( always use Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and the highest octane gas you can get ).
Any car, if not maintained will always be in the shop. Doesnt matter what car it is. Treat it right and it will treat you right.

I am assuming your refernce is to that horrible movie F&F?

and the eclipse was rated the #1 most in the shop car. dont remember exactly, just been an ongoing joke with anyone i know who has one.
*points finger*
ha
still my car is a POS so i dont have much room to talk.

Its rated that, damned right it is. Most people dont take care of their cars and 90-99 DSM's are very touchy cars. The more you modify the more you must be on time with repairs and routine maint that needs to be done.
Here is my current setup on my car. ( not going to edit due to going to sleep in a few minutes so prices will be listed since I keep track of money spent on each project )

$0072.00 Helmet
$0093.10 Poly engine mounts
$0053.00 Transmission cooler
$0084.89 Trans Temp Gauge w/ Sender Block
So far, the only thing I broke was a input shaft seal which required me to drop the transmission but that didnt matter because I had to drop it anyways for the reworked valvebody and the restalled converter. It was going to get replaced anyways during the drop so I cant really consider that a problem. Still need to get it tuned, should be pushing 300-320awhp next week on 20psi on pump. thinking about going higher on boost but I need to wait until I get the head studs and head gasket and then I can raise it and use race gas.
