Got a new project
I found a killer deal for a '99 Eclipse that I just couldn't pass up. I needed something to daily while the wife's car is in the shop and she's got my HHR. Here's a pic of the new addition to the driveway. When her car gets outta the shop, I'm thinkin about turning this into a big project with some boost in the future

The rental gave me one of them when I had to go from Philly to NY. They gave me a discount for giving me a 2 door because I reserved a 4-door economy car (I didn't care; I was driving solo anyway).
Although the rental was an automatic, it was a surprisingly fun car to drive. Handled nice.
Good luck and many miles.

If its a 4G64 engine and you need some help turbo charging it, hit me up, I've got some links to various sites for turbocharging the 4G64. I'm almost done with doing a 4G64 Turbo in my AWD 5 speed summit van.

4G63t is tons of fun
I had an awesome 300+ HP 90 Talon
12 Second 92 GSX
POC 93 GSX AT
OTOH - At the track I smeared 3rd gear in the 4G63t powered Eric Plebani built Mighty Max 4x4 featured in the first Mischief video.
Here's the segment from the Mischief video http://rapidshare.com/files/76886323...Truck.avi.html

Everything was custom, it cost too much for everything and it was a royal PITA so I traded it for a loss just to keep from lighting a rag in the filler tube.

Well you don't have either 4G63 or 4G64, apparently you have a 420A motor. While that is some what bad news, you can turbo the 420A. Its not as strong a motor as the 4G motors, but I've seen it done before. I don't have no real links for turboing it though, but I'm sure you can google up some. Either way I think its still a nice project car.
