This is my first DSM. I've come a long way with the build, but still have a long way to go. The previous owner wasn't very clear on many things. But I've spent the whole time figuring things out and enjoying myself.


Just recently, I decided to make this an autocross car. View my build thread for just a little bit of what I've done, and to see what I'm currently doing.
