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.

TRAITOR!!! Lol. Nice ride though.

Hey those cars are stupid cheap to mod. Nice buy.

With the current miles / condition I doubt you'll flip it for much more then what you paid.

i need to find a deal like this

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.

I was going to call ya a sell out but **** for 400 thats a steal!

thats a nice little car you got there, definatley makin some dough on that

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.

i actually like these cars, when lowered with some kind of stance done nicely they look pretty good

drop it. add some wide 18s. tint the windows. and drop a 6 bolt 4g63t in there and call it a day. you have no idea what a dsm is capable of...lol.

and i swear to f*ck if u make it look like the one from fast and the furious ill kick you in your eyebrow with a spiked herpes infected boot.
