Iz Jade Iz Posted December 9, 2009 Author Posted December 9, 2009 I'm in to both. I got a 2002 BMW 525i for my birthday, i chose this over an '97 eclipse because eclipse's tranny's go out often. Sucks for me that my BMW's tranny went out not even a year after i got it. I was able to install 2 12 inch and 10 inch subs in the back, along with 2 more 10's in my doors. Money wasted. I plan on getting a '10 Camaro/Charger once i get enough money. Actually the 2g eclipse (95-99) tranny's arent that bad, then again i have a stage 2 TRE built trans for mine, will hold up to about 450-500hp, it only cost me $1,300, but the 7 bolt 4g63t blocks are the problem with the crankwalk issue on turbo'd eclipse's. Bmw's are nice tho, not as easy to mod because its not price friendly, but it is effiecient when modded My brother had a '97 eclipse, not sure what he did to exactly i know it had 450+ HP, it was a beast.. but he sold it. he must not have had a built trans, two of the best Dsm transmissions you can get are TRE and Shep racing, but both are fairly expensive. im gonna be running a real mitshubishi 18g turbo and boost 25-28 psi and make 400awhp, but 450hp is quick, i run 12.9 with 350awhp, but i have friends with 600 hp eclipse's/talons. They are fun cars, you should look into them =D Nothing happened to the car, it was still in perfect condition when he sold it in '98 I don't know shit about cars, but i would love to learn how to make them perform better and what is worth getting and what's not when it comes to upgrades and shit. Oh well. :p well these are the basic mods.... Air Intake Exhaust Plugs/wires Injectors then you get the cool stuff.... Turbo's =D

Iz Jade Iz Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 DSM's FTL Crank walk is your daddy lol I'm a muscle guy, imports to me are just gas savers Well DSM's arent the typical tuner, its one of the easiest and cheapest to mod, along with the awd 4 cyl turbo setup you cant go wrong choosing it. but..... DSM = Dump Some Money, so you do need a bank roll when it breaks down...... but heck when its fixed i run muscle cars all day, no competition there =P PS: I have a 6 bolt swap, no crankwalk for me
