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?

One thing I hate about Eclipses is the orientation of things and common issue of the computer box problem. << so common. Everything is just placed in the engine bay inconveniently. For example to replace a fuel filter which is part of regular maintenance which means it should be easy to access, isn't. You have to remove your air filter, battery, windshield resevoir, and I think brake resevoir - loosen and the fuel filter is located at the very bottom of the firewall which makes it easy to crossthread especially when it hasnt been changed in a while. The oil filter is also located vertically which makes all the oil spill everywhere. Just a pain for everything on these cars. Besides that, if it is working good, it really is a nice car.
