Arnie, Congratulations on your new purchase..

Thanks Bluetooth!

I'm already in love with this car!

Welcome to DSMTuners.

Thank you Gofer, everyone has made me feel welcomed,except some rude people on the forums...

Ok. I edited the pictures to 600x400 but now it says i can't put them in because they have the incorrect file extention. I don't know what that means but I'm about ready to call it quits.

Try using ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting then select forum picture. It should work!

Ok Fellow Dsmers! Hopefully I finally got pics up. $1200 purchase 92' Eagle Talon Tsi Turbo Awd. Everything on it. 220 sumtin thousand miles on it. Heads been rebuilt. Just replaced Break master cylinder. Needs front driver & passenger side axels, New break pads & rotors, Newer tranny cause its slipping out of 4th & synchros are grinding & a few minor replacements nothing major.. I dont know if it was a smart purchase but any feedback & advise would be appreciated thanx...

Not really a looker but I think it has potential. It runs pretty good. Everything pretty much stock. I really don't have any definite plans for it right now accept to get it in tip top runnig condition.

Wow great buy bro, To be honest with everyone. I have not really seen any Talons in SD beside this one I currently saw at the junkyard which was in great condition!
Awesome buy bro! She looks lovely!

I guess I am late to this thread. Here are some picture of my eclipse. Im currently looking for someone to tune my car with a safc2. If you know anyone please let me know.

 

[gofer]

Looks good and glad to see some more DSM's posting on Tuners from San Diego! If you've got a wideband o2 sensor and a logger, along with the SAFCII, then finding a tuner won't be tough, however, if all you've got is the SAFCII then the odds aren't looking good.

Clean car and we'll see you around SD.

 

[REDspydergst]

Thanks, Yes I got a AEM wideband sensor with a logger. I tuned my eclipse by myself and it runs good but I just know its not running at its prime. Also, Is there upcoming meets? I would really like to meet true people that are into the DSM scene.

Its rare for us to meet up sadly, usually due to cars not running or real life getting in the way

Weclome to the Forums Jak! Nice to meet you, I'm Arnie!

I love Love Love 3000Gt's sorry to hear bout it!

How long was the car non op for? When I got my Eclipse Feb. It was non-Op for 5 years. So much " Crap was stuck inside of it " since it was not moving.

Looking forward to seeing some pictures

That sucks, I've seen so many projects and cars that aren't running on the site and it makes me sad!

Would love to go to my First Dsm meet! Talk about cars and etc!

LOCATION: Oceanside

So I've been a member here for a while (see my join date, ), bought this FWD back in 2010 for a cool grand. It's bone stock, which is kinda' nice (but it's a salvage title, which is not so nice). Previous owner was kind enough to rebuild the engine (but forgot to replace the three torn motor mounts ) So if you see me around north county, be sure to laugh at my absolutely awful paint job!

 

[agarc023]

Nice to see another North county dsm'er from the good part (Chris )

The paint job doesn't look all that bad to be honest. Hope to see you around sometime (I'm like on the border between vista and oceanside)

I'm fairly new to DSM's, but I'm really fast with learning and engines click with me. I'm always looking to expand knowledge of DSM and tuners in generally(I really want a 240sx s14 to start drifting on tracks)

Not really much of a fan for the 1st gen eclipses ( Love the 4g63t Engine though ) , but I guess it's your blue paintjob that makes me like it

Also Welcome to the forums and the DSM scene Dillon, I'm Arnie!

Also if you have issues with your car you can talk to Kris http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/members/banishedmunk-69347.html and see if he can help you out, hes like the DSM mechanic for San Diego ;P But he won't work on N/T >.< !!!!!

 

[twitch231]

thanks for the welcome Arnie, and i appreciate you admiring my car, im a fan of the 2gs myself but i couldnt pass this one up. and thanks for the info ill definitely hit Kris up, my car has been outta commision for too long thanks to this major intake boost leak. Hoping to get it back on the streets for those car meets.

[jof_03]

Good day. Ive had Dsms, since moving here to SD about 11 years ago, been using this site to buy stuff and some tech, but finally registered.

My name is Joseph, work for the government. ive always been looking for new ways to upgrade and fix my car.

currently I have a 1995 mitsubishi mirage with a 4g63t swapped engine, components etc. most of the parts were from evolution 3 components. I have tried to complete this build for about 7 years.

some of the mods are:

Big 16g turbo
255lph walbro
SAFC
6puck clutch kit
K sport full suspnsion
brembo front brake kit
17in OZ racing rims/BFG tires
recaro evo 3 seats
custom harness bar
custom 3" full exhaust
koyo radiator
and probably some other stuff i am forgetting.

love the old school Evos, and of course a 2g eclipse fan too as ive had one before.

 

[gofer]

Think I saw this at Racelegal once or twice, still FWD?

 

[Bluetooth]

Nice build. Welcome... My names Bluetooth...

 

[banishedmunk]

is that one of the yoshifab builds?

 

[jof_03]

Yup, one of yoshifab builds, I'm actually bringing it back to him next seek

 

[Kantide]

Nice to see the regulars still around here. I havent posted since I lost my 97 spyder 2 years ago XD. Now I am sitting on a 2011 spyder though so not quite DSM material these days. Just stopping by to say hi~
