Hello! My name is Nick and I'm new to the site and pretty much new to the DSM world. I'm 16. Currently I'm driving my dad's ranger. Hopefully soon, I will be getting a 2G Eclipse, hopefully a GSX, that will be my own car to work on and drive. Fortunately and unfortunately our windstar that was my dads car threw a rod, so my dad has to drive his work vehicle for now. I'm telling my parents if I get a new car, dad can have the ranger back and something to drive, and hopefully, they'll go with it real soon. We have a stock 1997 Eclipse GST Spyder, with only 54k miles on it, but my parents are crazy and won't let me mess with it. They want to sell it eventually, so that means keep the miles down and not mod it. So it's not like I'm some kid who watched The Fast and The Furious and thinks Eclipses are the shizzle. No, I have one, and want another for my own, one I can actually do stuff to. What I want is a coupe, 5-Speed l, GST at least. I REALLY want a GSX, AWD is king! I have $600 of my own dough, to give to my parents toward the car, or use it for new parts. I'll be getting a job if and after I get an Eclipse, so I'll have income for more parts. Still, money is tight, so I'd be getting a cheap and most likely, kind of crappy Eclipse. I want something that is close to stock and runs, of course, I don't want a project car. I want to mod it a little bit at a time, so it can still be my daily driver. I'm also not doing anything crazy like taking my carpet and A/C out to make this a dragster. Just simple things. Intercooler, new exhaust, bigger turbo, (maybe twin it) and ect. Don't worry guys, this thing will be a tuner, not a Fast and Furious ricer, as much as I do enjoy those cheesy movies. Anyways, I thought I would introduce myself to the site and let everyone know that I'll hopefully be getting my own Eclipse to free from its factory part shackles.
