you can by a phat ride without ever feeling sorry you did

Dude...if he's only got 10 G's a DSM would be a TERRIBLE idea. IMO they're REALLY unreliable.

If he wanted to keep it reliable, I dont think modding it will help do that, unless you go all out and toughen up the engine's components as well (big big bucks involved), which wouldnt be practical considering the budget he's on.
An E30 M3? maybe not a 2.5 Evo II, but one of the earlier ones, a 2.3 or soemthing? BMWs are quite reliable in my experience, considering the E34 5 we've had for 12 years now.
Failing that, an E36 M3 3.2?

^my dsm has only broken down on me ONCE. I believe if you take CARE of your car, it WONT break down. Pound for pound, it's STILL one of the best cars to modify and their internals are GREAT. They will take about 400hp/25psi.
And getting a 3g (2000+) Eclipse is just stupid. They're not fast, and will never be - even with a T3/T4 50 trim they're about the same level as a STOCK Dodge SRT-4.
