DSM is hit and miss...
The eclipse = the Talon...
I've got a little 1996 Eclipse GS..(FWD, 420a motor)....its a stick, and a decent little car. Easy to work on too.
The 4g63 motors have a bad rap with crank-walk...but they do love boost.
IF you can get a good GSX or TSi AWD, and have a shop manual, I say go for it....
They weigh nothing, and with AWD, you can crack some damn fine 1/4 times.
BUT.....be prepared to have many headaches over **** (AWD, 4cyl setup, turbo, etc)
I'd but a Turbo DSM, but it'd have to be a super babied car.
