You talked me out of it, CLOSE, CLOSE Options

So i have been looking to buy a another celi to do a 3s swap in and then ONE day do an AWD swap in it, i was really looking forward to this being my money pit, my project car... But... it is looking like it will be alot of money for me to get my AWD celi...

Randomly in my craigslist search for celi's a gsx eclipse came up. Now i had totally forgotten about those cars after i bought my celi, i decided against them because EVERYONE has an eclipse up here, and hardly anyone has a 6th gen. But now that i am looking into buying another car to turn into my toy they keep coming back and plauging my mind, it would be so easy to go drop money and go buy and AWD turbo'd eclipse and be done with it, doing upgrades later and such...

I am so lost

Do i buy another celi, do the swap, then do the AWD and end up dropping around 18k in it just to get the stock 3sgte in with awd... or do i buy a gsx for 4k-9k and then spend an extra 2-4 grand on goodies?

Opinions?

ECLISPES have no head room, at all i sat in one and it felt like i was in a miata good thing it was a convert so i could look over the windsheild just like in the miata, if you want a diff car go 240 lots of parts and goodies easy to find as well but id say get the celi

This man speaks a lot of win.

The market for 240s is pretty good right now for someone to just pick one up, convert it to a silvia and then sell it back to some n00bs in the LA area so you can afford a ST185. Or just keep it.

There's too many things you can do to a 240 especially since it shares its platform with the Nissan Silvia. The best part about them is, its almost too easy to find one and its super cheap to swap anything into. SR20DET, CA18DET, VQ35DE, VG30DETT, RB20DET, RB26DETT, 4AGE, 3SGE, F20C, LS1, older 350s, 13B and 20B, its got more swap options than any car I've EVER heard of AND they're all routine and documented because nobody wants the stock underpowered engine in the car.

Before I got my celi I seriously considered the 240SX. That and the Integra (I almost became a honda kid... ewww :'( )
