40 years old, still single and no kids. Did I nail this life thing or what??! Hahaha! I have 16 nephews and nieces, if I want to spend time with some kids I have plenty of family to choose from.....but then I don't have to deal with them after I leave, so it's a win-win situation! My first two vehicles that I ever owned were 2G Eclipses and I friggin love that car! I'm sure I'll get some crap for this, but the 1G's never really did it for me....they just looked too much like 80's cars, especially the interior and the dash panels! My 3rd vehicle was a 1991 Talon Tsi AWD so it's not like I didn't try to like 1G's, I just don't like them compared to the 2G's! Hell, I would most likely take a 2G over any Evo or STI, the 2G has just always been one of my favorite cars.....and I can assure you that I fell in love with the 2G's long before the stupid Fast and Furious movies that completely ruined so.....so many kids! The only other car I am trying to get my hands on is a Skyline R34 once they're legal in the states, and honestly that's mostly because I think it is just an incredibly beautiful car inside and out! I don't even like the R35's, and then the R33's have too much of an 80's car look, which as I had stated above about the 1G's, I am not at all a fan of! So anyways, I am very happy to finally have another 2G Eclipse, and as much of a massive pain in the butt the complete overhaul has been, once it is all done and up and running, I know it will be well worth it all!!Also, it's really cool to see that this site that I used to get on all the time back in my late teens and early 20's is still here and going strong! Too friggin cool!

DSM Background
My very first car when I was 17 was a 1997 Eclipse RS, that of course was before I knew exactly what a turbo was! Then my second car was a 1997 silver Eclipse GSX which looked incredibly nice, but unfortunately I never had the money to do much of any engine modifications, it was basically lowered with a really nice stereo system, but it was known as "The Panty Dropper" hahaha! Then my third car was a 1991 Eagle Talon TSI with a 16G turbo, a heavily ported head, and a few other basic mods like intake and exhaust and wastegate dump (This was back when almost nobody had dump tubes for their wastegates!), but I had so many problems with it that it was known as "The S**t Box" lol. I was part of a group of DSM guys, including the guys who are now the owners of AGP Turbo and a couple of other well known people in the Phoenix area. I learned a lot about DSM's and how to repair them and/or upgrade them from some of those guys.....plus the fact that my TSI was constantly having problems that I had to learn to fix! I finally got sick of fixing it and parted it out when I was 21 years old. I had been dying to get another 2G Eclipse ever since then, and I was finally able to get another one a couple of years ago! The only problem is that I've gone a little overboard with it! I wanted to do everything that I never got to do with my 2nd car, the '97 GSX, and now with my new '97 GSX, I was going to do all of that stuff! $25,000 later with the car still in a hundred pieces in my garage, I am about to start finally putting the car back together! I'm guessing I should be sitting around 600-650hp at the wheels without the nitrous, up to 1050 with the nitrous.....oh yeah, and it's going to be my daily driver lol! I probably should have kept the HP a little lower for a daily driver, but it's a little too late now....plus it's gonna be a ton of fun!!
