SO.

i have a dilemma. ive been saving money for a while now, and have a couple options. and i dont know what to do. i have a 1999 mitusbishi eclipse GS. i love my baby. also, its a GS=non-turbo.

its slow. i just have basic mods. i want to put in a nice turbo kit.

i also really want a bike. like a nice 02 or 03 600cc sportbike. i cant decide which would be more fun. bikes are amazing, but i love my car.

WHAT SHOULD I DO!?
 
ya, ive ridden on my friends dirtbike, and love it. but i dont live near enough stuff for it to be practical to get an offroad bike. so i want a street one. i would ride hte hell out of it in the summer, but i do live in WA.....
 
If you buy a newer sportbike and haven't taken the msf course or ridden more than a few times on a dirtbike, you will more than likely hurt yourself. As lame as it sounds, if you want a bike, buy an older or a smaller bike to learn on and then buy a sportbike.
 
o yeah im gonna the course route for sure. but like, i deffinetly know hwo to handle myself on a dirtbike. i know what im doing. does anyone have a bike and can say if theyre worth it!?
 
i dont fully have all the money i need yet. but ive just been lookin at like the classic yamaha r6s, honda cbr600s, and everyhting. im still really open minded.
 
the bumpers fine.. its the side skirts that dont really match up with the door that really bother me the most.. but pretty dope car none the less... but are you talking a dirt bike, mountaint bike, or bmx or tricycle or what.. do explain
 
well crotch rocket you say... well seeing as its one of those i dunno, liek if you have a dirtbike you can have way more fun on one of those thatn a normal just go from a-b bike... liek you already have a nice car to get you from a-b why spen some money on another vehicle... get somethign to have fun on.. i know i would
 
haha you put all that money into the body work but the engine is still basically the same? do you really need that aerodynamics kit with maybe a 160 hp engine (you said basic mods, im assuming intake and exhaust.)
 
well some of hte reason for both

TURBO:

pros

-i get a faster car=so fun

-i dont get made fun of at shows for having a GS N/T

-ill be working on my car a lot more, which i do like

-awesome blow off valve sound

cons

-bye bye gas milage

-i will have a lots more problems nad headaches

BIKE:

pros

-saves a lot of gas

-very fun

-very fast

-did i say very fun?

cons

-i could die

-i wont use very much when it rains
 
in other words, id say get the turbo, better have an engine that will partially back up that rediculous body kit. bikes are still hella fun though, they get good gas mileage too, but i guess yours isn't terrible in that 4 cylinder engine either
 
yeah, i know my cars not fast. i dont race. its just a show car. i love taking it to shows n stuff. but now im wanting more speed, of some kind
 
Ive got 749 road bike and its fast and fun as hell. Ive also got toyota SUPRA and its turbo. Def get that sucker turboed
 
go boost! I love my turbo and yeah the blow off is sexy, i slapped on a front mount and blow off and love the holy shit head spins from people when i blow off. Plus you need power to back a blatent kit, not my style, im more fast and sutle but power is always good.
 
yesssssssssssssssssssssssss dude get a bike and you will still have your car that you can upgrade or whatever later im sure the car isnt that bad.
