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!! smile.gif

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.

Well, i have a story for you guys. First off, this project is over and i wont be doing another one for awhile. Yesterday was one of the worst days in my life and I hope my loss can be some of you DSMers gain.

I had to make an emergency trip to the ER yesterday because my car over heated and the water neck blew apart. Spraying me in the face with Very hot ( 300* + ) antifreeze. we have yet to figure out why it just decided to get hot but wont be finding out either.

After spending 2 hours in the ER, I walked away with 2nd degree burns on the whole left side of my face and around my eye. Today, I had to go to my regular doctor, an eye specialist, and tomorrow i have to go to a Plastic Surgeon.

And on top of my injury, my car is knocking like a mother. Dont know what happened yet but Im guessing its either a warped piston or something in the head. It was so hot that it melted my spark plug cover.

So, I have decided to leave the DSM game for awhile and get my life together , ridding some debts and buy a house! Here is the list of parts that i have for sale and I will also be selling the chassis after all parts are off.
