psu_Crash Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well you came to the right place! There are a lot of common problems to look for, after all the car you find will likely be 25ish years old. The nice part is you are in Cali so rust is a non issue for the most part. The DSM family is just the little brother to the SQ. A lot of the technology carried over and was just updated. My cousin just bought a 99 FWD 420a Eclipse that we have been working on rebuilding and boosting Read through the FAQ/Newbie sections. You'll find a lot of good information there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rabbit1 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) don't do it, unless you have pockets of cash or another car to drive.. And if you don't heed my warning, welcome to the site and happy hunting! Edited July 26, 2012 by The Rabbit1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDemon Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I have my DSM, plan on dropping in the replacement 420a motor into my talon and then using it as a DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasQuest Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 (edited) Welcome. You shouldn't have any trouble with these cars since your used to working on DSM's. Just the parts are a little harder to find. Edited July 26, 2012 by TexasQuest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
