Ok, i have started many threads over the last few years on cars i plan on building but never keep them going. This year, I have a decent car to work with and Have been making plans of what im gonna do to it all throughout the year. So for those of you who dont know me, my names TRAVIS a.k.a TJ. My current car is a 1993 Mitsu Eclipse GSX. Heres a little background on the car:
1993 GSX red in color Automatic tranny ( first out of 11 DSM's , yeah i know ) Black leather interior sunroof VERY NICE! I bought this car almost a year ago from a buddy who had it at his parents sitting in a field. Believe it or not with no side effects. The only things that were wrong with it are two rust spots on the rear wheel wells. I also had to bug bomb it because there were a million spiders inside of it. I have since installed a rebuilt 6 bolt motor and have been driving it for awhile now. I am still not sure how well i like the automatic tranny over a 5 speed but im getting used to it. I do however like the fact that the boost is constant even during shifts. which is an advantage over a manuel tranny car. I would spend the next hour typing the info on the car but just go to my garage and you will find out. My goals for this season are: 1- actually race my car at the track 2- run a mid/high 12 second pass 3- drive it more then its broke!! Well im gonna cut it short for now but i will keep you guys posted every few days on the whats new and how shes runnin. -------------------- "One of the most Crazy and Undecisive Members in central Illinois"
