isimon77 -> Trans swap? (11/4/2007 3:21:38 PM)
|
I have heard this time and again: If I want a faster car, I need a manual trans. I have a 2.4L Eclipse RS (AEM Cold air intake + Exaust tip / Muffler (makes a mean rumble). The car sounds mean, but it sure as hell isn't. Now:
-1st up: I know purchasing parts for an automatic trans is more or less worthless- it won't get me too far.
-2nd: The car does not handle well enough to drive it at faster speeds, for racing.
-3rd: The car sounds mean, and is smoked just about every time.
So, this is what I have been considering, in order from what I need most to what I should get last:
(1, a job again)
1. Manual Transmission to fit 2001 2.4L Eclipse RS
2. Coilover Suspension kit, to tighten suspension and enhance handling for higher speeds
3. Rear disk brakes (yeah I know, I have drums back there.)
4. Engine Swap, keep the trans?
Help? Please just don't post and tell me, "Hey you need headers and exhaust system," I am not asking for advice on what to buy, but advice on my plan for the car. Thanks.
