I'm selling my SC2 because I need a car w/some pep as a daily driver. It's driving me insane.
Among the cars I'm considering are the 95-99 Eclipse GST & GSX & also 95+ Talon TSI. Anything in particular, besides the normal things to check when buying a used car, that I should check out when looking at these cars? Are there any specific problems with these cars? How reliable are they? Anyone have 1/4 mile times on stock a GST, GSX & TSI? Manual & Auto tranny times, please. I've heard many bad things about the manual trannies in the Talons. I assume the same tranny is in the Eclipse, correct? Are there any differences, besides body style & the name, between the GSX & the Talon TSI?? I'm not going to be modding it a whole lot anytime soon. I want to try to not mod it at all, but I doubt I will be able t control myself. I don't know much about these cars so any input is appreciated. ![]() -------------------- 95 Z28

To defend the 2G a bit, not every one will crankwalk on you, some will drive forever without ever having it happen, some on the other hand wont. Its a chance you take when you by any used car, that something major will happen to it. If you buy one for just a couple years, it may run fine for you and never give you any problem, but if you plan on eventually modding it, then a 6 bolt swap will be a good start for it. some of the 97+ cars may still have a factory warrenty on it left for powertrain. If you really want a 2G, and can afford one, then go for it and take a chance. You could buy a 1G automatic and a week later the tranny goes out on you, or even a 5 speed, the syncros could go out too. So no matter what you buy, there is always the chance something could go wrong with it.
