As you probably know from reading the title, this build is very ambitious build. This is the ultimate goal for my car. But as you know, things may not go the way you plan in life. For long as I am able to work on this car, I am going towards that end. There maybe some setbacks here and there but the end goal is always the same. Come along for the ride and share your story with me along the way.
Overview
Proud owner of 1995 Mitsubishi eclipse GSX. Had this car for over 8 years now and after all these years i still got it. Even though it went through several changes over the years, it sill give me thrills every time i hit the gas. There is something about these cars that make you look twice every time you walk away. Especially now days, you can't even find a single one for miles. I know its a classic and classic cars need special attention. I think its up to us to continue to restore them and enjoy them. There simply nothing like it anymore. Now days everything is down sizing and becoming "eco friendy". Cars are becoming numb and not what they used to be anymore. There was a time when import super cars roam the streets and you could see them everywhere. I know those days are long gone and that's why i am keeping my car for long as i can. I know dsm's aren't super cars by any mean but when they came out they had a performance like that of a super car for a fraction of the price. I plan on keeping my car for a long time and making it into something unique but at the same time show the car's full potential. Reminding and educating people what they are really capable of. I hope you can come along for the ride.
Goals
My goals for this car is to eventually reset the import state record. The quickest import ever ran in the state of Arkansas is 7.81 sec in a 1000 foot. Here is a link to the record: http://www.centervilledragway.com/Motels.htm I admit it was pretty fast for a FWD car. I say dsm could do better with less horsepower. With similar power it will do even better. Just take a look at Boostin Performance or Jeff Bush dsm's they run 6's in a 1000 with ease. But keep in mind they were well over 1000+ horsepower. Now i have FP HTZ3586R at my disposal. If i can make at least 800hp, good traction, and with a little bit of weight off i think i can do it. If not, i can always use that 800hp to get groceries really fast!
