the thing about old cars with only 40 hp:
they can't do anything unless you bore out the engine to 2 liters and get the whole freakin' thing done up to race spec, and even then you'd have at most 100hp +/- 10 hp (most likely -10hp) because by then your engine block would be so fragile unless you custom made an engine block too. it'd last about 40k miles then a pressure crack would blow out the side of a cylinder

You should do a 4g63t motor swap, will greatly improve your horsepower.

Also, you know, that would make the perfect sleeper. The stock lancer's 270hp would deffinately make that car get up and go, if you were in a mustang and this thing pulled up beside you--you would race it. |

But, the fun part about the 40 hp, is you can have fun and thrash the engine with-in an inch of it's life as much as you want, redline shifting and chirping tires... You'll still only be accelerating as fast as the soccer-mom next to you in her mini-van at half throttle, so it's "safe"

lol that was good.
a 4g63t swap would cost more than $3000 to complete. i don't think many people have that kind of money. especially to dump into a tiny little old car.

No, not really. You can start with an Eclipse GST donor and go from there...

I would start at the junkyard or craigslist.
here is one in my area: http://dallas.craigslist.org/car/715318508.html I would try to find one with a better motor/crappier exterior. |

ok my bad. but if you were to get a brand new 4g63t with the transmission+drivetrain to make the car a track machine(awd from an Evo) then it'd be costly
but then again, just buy a used eclipse gsx http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/car/743130472.html

man I wish I had a car I could work on. It would be so awesome. That lil' car seems pretty cool. Do some work on that engine maybe bore it, get a exhaust, new pistons, cams, muffler, pulleys, etc. Seems like a fun project.
