Hello, my name is Josh, but I like to go by Malachi, I'm 25 and have a huge obsession with the 95-99 Eclipse. I'm here mostly to learn. I'm going to be getting an eclipse GSX or GST spyder soon. But I have alot of questions that I hope you guys don't mind helping me out with.

welcome to the forum. gsx is the way to go. only the GS-T came in the Spyder though. you can do an awd conversion but it's not fun and not cheap. between 3 and 4k for the swap from what i hear.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the help guys. . . So is the GSX better then the GST Spyder only because it awd? Does the awd make it much faster?

Yeah the Spyder was only in FWD. Yes the AWD makes an INSANE difference.

You sound like you know what you want from a car... power. If you are anything like me... the GST just wont cut it. Traction!

hehe, I guess I'm not that hard to figuire out, lol. I like the convertable, but power is definately the first thing for me. . . What are some other things I could do to up the power? I heard that a new exhaust system will help alot with power, is that true?

Beefing up your car takes more than just exhaust, take a lot at the forums and some how to's, youll get from basics to engine reforging, these guys know their ****, dont be afraid to ask, welcome and do a search for some tutorials and stuff

if you want power and speed, Spyder isn't the way to go because 1 it's the heaviest model b/c of the convertibal top retracting motor. 2 it only comes in fwd. gsx will give you excellent launches where you never have to worry about losing traction until the 350whp+mark
