Ok my friend has an eclipse gst 5 speed. It is comp stock. He says its running like 220 hp. I dont really know. I have a stock 89 auto convertible. I dont have any nopistons.com stickers so i dont have any extra hp boost from that. I guess that his is turbo but like i said it is all stock. Do you guys think that i could whoop him up in a race. I was thinking that i could get him on a curvy road and that would make it easier to get the kill but he will want to race the next time i see him no matter where we are.

I think he might kick your ass on either. Verts are slow.

mine is really not that slow. Im sure i could beat him if there were some special circumstances! FOr instance if he had a flat tire or something! Ok well im glad i asked before i got killed.

GS-Ts run mid 15 sec. 1/4 miles



Stock verts run a low 17 sec. 1/4 mile

Well he told me that his is a gst but it just says gs on the back. I am looking at them on ebay and all of the ones that have the wheels he has are just gs. I never looked at his engine so i really dont know if its a gst or just a gs. THis guy always has seemed to have a problem with stretching the truth a little far so i dont know what it is. I dont know what year it is either but i think it is at least a 97, and it is not the new style.

ok it looks just like this except it is white. and it is not lowered at all. But it says gs on the back.



ebay

Well I think the 1/4 times are about the same betwen a GS and a GS-T.



I've got a 88 vert, I have full exhaust, intake, underdrive pullies, weight reduction, ect. and IMO the car is still way slow, and torque-less. I think with all those mods I would be pretty lucky to be breaking into 15s in the 1/4. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

Check out this tight "Fast and Furious" eclipse i found on ebay HEHEHEHe

I think I'm going to sell my two 7s to go buy that car!! Hell yeah! It even has the cool 2 tone paint job I love. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I wonder how much that paint job would job cost. I think it would look great on mine. I think i could get it at maaco if just paid for two of the ambassador paint services that i saw advertised on the tv. they were like $189 i think.



Whoa i didnt even notice. THat is a 3 tone paint job! Did you see the orange in between the red and black.

I fucked up and typed 3 tone, but then I edited it to a 2 tone. Then I noticed it was a 3 tone. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

I beat a GST 60 to 100 about a year ago when my SE was still the SE(not SE-X)...the GSTs get really bad turbo lag with age. Your vert won't beat one though, I'm sorry...only if you are really modded and doing 0 to 60 in the low 7s high 6s.....you can always spray, then you'll win!

The bottle is for hon-duhs.

thats what i was thinking. i guess i will just have to wait for the conversion

Yeah, just go turbo, or save your $ and buy a TII. Then you can be like me. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Haha well all i want is to be like you. What is an estimate on how much a conversion would cost if i had a tII that i was using for a parts car? If the TII had everything that i needed. In other words how much would it cost to have the engine and trans and rear end and everything else transplanted?

If you do the work yourself it won't cost much. You'll just have to get all the little ****, the stuff that you should replace anyway; motor mounts, ect. But if you have a shop do it I'm sure it'll cost a lot of $$$.

The gaskets on GST's and GSX's get really worn with age. Well I guess that's true with most turbo cars, but to me, it seems like it happens to them more.
