No, not everything, but just a few

I thought I said it in my introduaction, and a couple of times after, but I can repeat: I personally currently own 92' and 03' Si's here in US and 92' Mitsubishi Galant GLS td back in Moscow, and my wife owns 05' Nissan Murano, which happens to be our family car

eclipses are like owning spoiled rotten women, high maintenance. the maintenace scheduals are insane with the dsm as well as most dodge vehicles like the neon. but taking proper care of them lets them live for some time. but im with everyone else, get yoruself a beater honda. a nice eg 4dr can be had for around 2g. you could also look into the accords. my 91 accord has just flipped 270k and is still running great.

I think you have to be 5'10" or shorter to even fit comfortably in those 2nd gen eclipses. I test drove a 99 eclipse GS-T and me being 6'5" the steering wheel was killing my legs[8D]. the only real problem with the engines that I know is crankwalk on those 2nd gens
yea, im like 5-6 5-7 so there not to bad, i love the way they sit and feel....I wish i could find good deals like the ones you guys come up with....you cant find a decent civic for less than 5k....and the only time you can find an older CRX or Civic for less than 2-3K is when they are stripped, or crashed. and the ones that do run that can be had are usually beatin pretty bad. Not to mention that there are almost never cars that run older than 95 in our local paper/advertiser. oh, and by the way what exactly is "Crank walk"?

ha, thats great stuff...i guess even google knows DSM's suck...well, i doubt that i will end up with the eclipse because well, its a "sports car" even though it sucks the big ones....so...im looking for a beater car...either a honda or a 'yota....if any one knows of a good car, let me know please.

Bro get what you want. I just mentioned the crankwalk so you knew the major flaw with the 2nd gen eclipse 4G63 engines. IfI wasn't so damn tall I would have owned a GSX by now but im glad I got a TT 300zx instead......way more room and power and overall better. Everyone here will be bias cause its a honda forum even though I agree with them with trying to find a honda beater. Try to pick up a 80's toyota tacoma or a truck with 4 wheel drive or something. I had a 94 ford tempo that never broke down the 3 years I owned it.
