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)
on top of everything thats been going on im trying to go back to school this fall.. im wanting to goto Ranken and take their program to become a certified technician and take their high performance program as well.
well i just wanted to give a shout out to you all that remember me and see how everyone is doing that still visits the forums.
