Blog Title: 1997 GST DD looking for 300whp
First of all thanks for checkin out my dsm journal and i hope you enjoy.
*Sorry in advance if you dont like the huge pics. I uploaded to photobucket then found out they were huge and didnt feel like redoing it.
Early 2010 i sold my 98 eclipse gs as can be seen here.

I was in search for a better performance oriented platform. I was looking at s2ks and wrxs for my new dd. In my spare time i frequented this forum to read random tech articles and was bit by the bug again. I wanted another dsm but take this one in a different directon than my previous. In November 2010 i found a 1997 eclipse gst. Took a 3 hour drive picked her up and brought her home.
With my previous car i had done some research on turboing the 420a so i had some knowledge on what it took to make my car go faster. I started using the aquired knowledge i had gained from this forum to plan out my build. I want a reliable dd, 300whp, and very clean looking dsm. I know that i might get some bad feedback on the aesthetic stuff i bought for the car since the money could had been put towards performance parts but i like my cars to look good. So now its time to gather parts.
Fixed the bugs in my tune / car pics
Well i turned up the boost to 18 and took out a few degrees of timing and the car has no knock anymore. Even with the boost creep everything is looking fine and its running great! Cant wait to put some money away over the winter and see where i am and what i can afford to do when spring comes.
Took the car out to a local meet and thought id post some pictures here. Cars pretty dirty but i didnt think anyone would be taking pics of my car lol. Man its rough having alot of people ask you if your car is the gsx or awd and have to tell them its just fwd.
Makes me wish i woulda waited it out to find a gsx. Overall i met some pretty cool people out there and saw some nice cars.
