well its been quite awhile since ive been on the forums, used to be on here all the time and i used to goto meets whenever i could here in STL. i sold my civic awhile back and since have gone through 3 cars. i drove a pos 90 honda accord (bought for $250) for about 3 months and gave up on it as i never got it to pass emissions. Then i purchased a 92 1.8lL eclipse for $800 drove the crap outta that thing...great gas mileage... i had that until mid Nov of last year 07...i sold that for my new project that i am currently building which is a 91 Eagle Talon tsi awd. i picked that up for $1500 it has 130k on it and the car is rust free and the body is straight the car came with a 6 bolt 4g63, 4 bolt rear, and the bigger 1g rods. ive spent about $2200 now in performance parts and the block will soon be honed and fully rebuild with acl race bearings, arp components,...etc. the head is being ported to hell.. I still have a few things on the list to buy before ill have everything for it...but with the stock turbo running at max efficiency, water/meth setup, good driving skills, and some new tires im hoping for it to be a high 11 sec car. keep in mind that $2200 doesn't include machining or labor (i have a friend for all the machine work ) and ive been lucky and have gotten some great deals on parts through other dsmers and sales through sponsors of dsmtuners
heres a pic of what im working with
i have a mods list and what not if you guys were interested.
but basically thats what i have been up to since i kinda stopped visiting the forums..been really busy with my life ( work, friends, concerts, just everything lately)
