Background
Hello everyone my name's Jake. I'm 18 and about a year ago I got into cars, before that I couldn't even tell you how to do an oil change. My first car was a 98 Chevy cavalier. It was a good car to get you from A to B, but after driving it for about 4 months I wanted something different. I made a deal with my parents to loan me some money to get a better car. I spent about 2 months looking for the right car. I always knew I wanted something unique; something that would turn heads. I first starting looking into Audi's but could not find any in my area for a good price. I then started looking in to BMW's and found myself a silver 2000 328ci with M3 rims. Living in a small town in Wisconsin, people haven't seen this car before and I got asked questions all the time like what it is. I loved the Beemer, but came to the realization that to make a BMW fast, you must spend thousands of dollars and it still wont be that fast. Shortly after i bought the BMW, my best friend bought a 95 GST (Araesk) that had a Evo3 16g. He took me for one ride and I felt that beloved pull from a turbo; I was hooked. After that i went on the quest for a faster car. I have always liked eclipses and the way they looked. My dad owned a 95 GSX for about 10 years so i grew up around it. I searched craigslist about everyday looking for the right car after about a month of searching i realized there's two ways to get a dsm: either great mechanically and a bad body; or great body but bad mechanically. About a week before new years, my buddy showed me a Craigslist ad for a 97 eagle talon tsi awd in IL about a hour away. The talon had 10k on a rebuilt motor and 107k on the body. Mechanically the car was great. But the body was another story. A few weeks before the ad was posted, the previous owner got sideswiped by another's car from the back of the car to the front; pushing in the quarter panel, door, and fender. My buddy and I drove drown that weekend to look at the car and I decided to buy it. I was looking for a project that would become something fast. We came and picked it up the following day and drove it home. After 4 months of repairing body damage it was driving and awaiting paint. After a month of daily driving it the car spun a rod bearing. After i month i finished pulling the motor and decided to go big or go home. So motor will be forged internals .040 bored over.
What my goals for the car are:
400 WHP
12 sec 1/4 miles
Restoring it to its original beauty
