Need Advice

I've been driving a Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T for about two years now. I've put about 11,000 miles on it, 230,000 miles total.
It works fine. Transmission is bad, 2nd and 3rd grind when shifting and downshifting. Paint is beyond redemption at this point (cheap paintjob).
I'm trying to look for something similar to it (manual of course). I have a potential budget of about 10k, 15k if I'm lucky.
Any suggestions?

Fix it nigger

>something similar

I recommend you a 3000gt vr4

You have to know how to spot a good one.

You can get a very clean and maintained 1st gen for about 10K.

2nd gens are more expensive and you could get a good one for 15K.

Of course there are other good cars, you could get an MR2.

Or if you want a bit more space, why not an e36 M3.

You have several options user. Have you seen anything you like?

This, save up some money to get a MINT vr4 so long as its not your daily driver

OP here, funny thing is my dad has a 3000GT VR4 in storage, I'm not actually sure whats wrong with it. Though there is no way in hell he'd let me buy it off of him.

what makes the 3000gt vr4 so good
its like a 2000 dollar car
el em ay oh

What the fuck? A sohc dodge stealth is like 2000. A TT with 4ws, active aero, like 300 HP, and Awd is way more. And that's for a shit one.

Nice meme, you must know about cars.

OP keep in mind these cars were $80.000-90.000 brand new. They can handle 700hp with stock internals.

You can strip the AWS and other components and your car can weight 1.400kg.

Installing a FMIC will clear the engine bay and even more if you do a couple of simple vacuum line delete.

They are a blast to drive and the community is pretty much the friendliest people on earth. We even have "free parts, just pay shipping" threads.

They are good cars.

I'm even planning to get a FWD N/A as a track car just for shits and giggles

>1.200 kg
>222hp
>LSD
>most TT-MR parts are interchangeable

Want to sell it to me? Where are you located?

I'm not looking to sell.
To clear some things up, the car is not mine, i have it on loan from my dad until i have the means of getting my own car.
