payed a flat 3k for it. Yes know it will break a lot but thats why im here to pick up the tranny when it falls to cover the boost leaks and heal its dead gaskets
Also the engine is 4g63 Picks of the engine bay when i get home totally forgot about that....consider it teaser pics oh and Mileage is ONLY 91xxx

First things First BRAND NEW or REBUILT Transmission. Going to Racing Results in LI They'v got a pretty quick Talon and A crazy EVO. So with that said They should be doing the things i cant do in my driveway.
3k was great for the condition. It only had an Exhaust and intake when i got it, but he removed it. Tune up right around the corner, just need to recover some money and get some time to work on the bad boy.
MORE PICS MOST LIKELY TOMMOROW OF THE REST OF THE INTERIOR and THE ENGINE BAY !!!!
Still love my EM2 tho ....EM2>DSM (Staying true to my first love)

eh it's a six bolt so don't worry about crank walk too much.
i'm getting a dsm soon too...as soon as i sell my em2...i know...i'm a sell out
i'm getting the 2gb though 97-99.
AWD 4G63T FTW!!!

lol maybe. i haven't decided yet. the main reason is because i never drive my car except on the weekends i'm home. i'm at SIU right now so it's just sitting in the garage. my friend had a DSM and i loved his so i'm leaning towards one. but i just don't know yet.
i am between getting a gsx or painting my car this summer and possibly bagging it.
but right now it's looking like...
AWD Turbo GSX > paint job this summer

The 420A didn't curse the DSM until the second gen *shudders* Neon engines didn't belong in these cars.
Congrats man. Now that I got a promotion in a new city and don't really want my EM2's monthly payment...I'm so tempted to get rid of it and go back to my Talon.

looks good. i kinda did the same thing. I sold my 04 civic to buy a 14yr old integra..lol.
originally i was going to get a vr4 3000gt but i found out the maintence on that thing is $1k per 60k on it.
I drive too much so i decided to stay in the honda family. Good luck with the eclipse, i know that engine has a lot of potential.

How hard is it to find transmissions for these cars? I here thats the weak point of the older gen dsm's.

Replace the timing belt if you haven't already and consider removing the balance shafts. Get a datalogger soon to make sure everything is running decent after you replace the wires/plugs/etc.
