Ok so last night on my way to work i pull up to a stop light... on the line to my left there is a red eclipse... both my line and the one on the left. both are turn left only lanes.... well with the light turn green.. we both go.. i take corner like i always do... and the eclipse gets really close to my door.. so i just floor it to get away.... and as i pull away i here a BOV sound... then i slow down and the eclipse passes by me and i hear the sound again... as the eclipse cuts me off....so i get really close to him so i can make the next like.. the whole time i'm hearing this BOV sound..... and right on the entrence to the get on the highway... is a nice 4 curve road... so we are both doing about 70mph on the road... and the whole timei'm hearing this BOV sound.... when the road megers to the highway .. the eclipse guns it.. i hear the BOV louder... but i'm right behind the car.. then i pull into the gas station... the whole time i'm thinking.. shouldnt have that eclipse just left me behinds like..a 5dollor hooker leaves a guy with only 3 bucks in his pocket...

Every turbo third gen Ive heard of uses the 2.4 liter 4. I think it's 2.4... Anyhow the thing kinda sucks. It's long stroke and achieves some really nasty rod angles. Not only can it not take alot of boost but it can't really rev. Slap it into the porky 3g Eclipse chassis and you have a car that is much like all 3g eclipses: Worthless.
What you experienced was tha manifestation of the old addage "you can't polish a turd." The Celi is just a superior car to begin with. =) Go Toyota. |
