It's essentially the same thing as a Mitsubishi Eclipse
That would be mine. There are a set of lowering springs that are waiting to go on her.
And there's perfectly good reason for the lack of a new exhaust on there, too. My brother and I are currently working on making a turbo kit out of one of the 3rd Gen Mazda RX-7 twin-turbos, so I don't wanna waste my money on an exhaust until I can figure out what will go well with that. |

Year was 1996 - Was a 1983 VW Vanagon (big ol bus). Engine had a whoping 3 cylinders and I had to double clutch it (no not fast and furious style) to get from 1st to second gear. IE step down goto nuetral, let up.. step down again and then I could go into 2nd.
Bought a volvo after that and it was an automatic.
2001 bought a 94 integra GSR and that was stick. Drove that car hard. Now Stick is no more. Would be nice to have a stick with a v8 tho... |

The OEM turbo is ty, I'll give you that, but the transmissions are just fine. Mine has 150k miles on it and shifts like a dream.
Dodge/Chrysler had a partnership with Mitsubishi in which the Mitsubishi Eclipse, Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser were made on the same platform at the Diamond Star Motor plant in Normal, Illinois. Eclipses, Talons and Lasers are often referred to as DSMs.

I see your eagle has a large talon. |

eagle is DCX, not GM.
to truly experience the joy of driving a stick you need to get behind the wheel of a nice beefy V8 coup. that is power |

just pratice in a parking lot and remember: WHEN IN DOUBT, GIVE IT MORE GAS
so whenever you feel the car stalling, just give it more gas. 99% of the time, it will work. :toothless |
