Thats what SHE said.

Was your plan alway 900ish or did it change along the way?

Oh, it changed a million times...I was putting a six bolt stock turbo engine together for my n/t 4g63 93' Talon, then I decided after some jealous kids outside of a Wal-Mart kicked my quarter panel in on my super clean forest green Talon that what I really wanted was a nice 2g rather than working on what was now a damaged good in my mind and it would never be the same no matter how much body work was done, you see I wanted a pristine car and decided to stop the plans on the Talon and go with a 2g turbo car and build a nice engine for one of those instead.

So, as it went I put up a want to buy ad for a clean 2g shell, "It can't have any rust, I dont care about having an engine or transmission, but it cant have any rust or dents on panels that I cant remove" months of responses went by and my budget had to grow to afford what was out there that I actually would accept rather than junk, well low and behold a guy messaged me with "Hey, if your still looking for a 2g, I have a complete running car that is rust free in Florida that I will sell you if you pay off my loan, I want to go back to school" so I said "maybe, how much is owed and send some pics" he sent some pics and explained that the car had faded black paint with most clear coat damaged from sun but otherwise was a nice car and that I could "come visit Disney World while picking up the car" well that sounded great but I was'nt all that serious about wanting to go down there on a whim and try driving an unknown car 1500 miles back.

A few weeks later the kid messaged me and said "hey if your really interested in this car, I am planning a trip up that way, I will drive the car up if you want to buy me a plan ticket home" well if the kid trusts this car to drive it up here then who am I to pass up a deal like this? so I bought him a ticket home from here, he drove it up here and met me and my mom at the airport, I handed him a brown bag of money, he handed me the keys and said "'I will mail you the title when I pay the loan off" my mom thought I was crazy for trusting him, but I had a good feeling about him and he held up his end of the deal, my mom drove my 93' Talon home from the airport with my little sister in the passenger seat, and followed me home with my new Eclipse, of course I got the occasional phone call from her behind me with "hey this car is doing this and this, is this normal?" but all in all I got them both back home no problems, that was a three hour or so drive.

After I got it home I started planning the new engine for it, and it was supposed to be just a stock build just to have a nice clean healthy 2g, well of course I ended up meeting a buddy that had a 2g GSX and week in and week out his plans for his car got bigger and bigger and our friendship being a dick swinging contest between the two of us, so did my cars plans, he got a bigger turbo, I got an even bigger one, he got duel fuel pumps, I got a mechanical one, he got a bigger intercooler, I got the biggest one, until I ended up with the beast that I now have, it was built out of competition.

Funny what competition can do!

That’s a good dsm beer story. Long story short, the **** that kicked your 1g got you to this point. Lol. Glad that worked out. Just don’t drive this one to Walmart...please!!

He meant 1/4 mile, not 1/8th.

Competition for the most part is a good thing imo. It drives us and some need that more than others. My best friend and I were the same when we were younger. He had a civic hatch w a turbo b16 when I had my 2g. Without each other we would be at stock power levels and you know there’s no fun in that

I have NEVER nor will I ever leave this car out of my sight, anyone that knows me knows that if my car is there then I am within eyesight of it, if I have to go in Wal-mart or any store thats not a gas station, I go home and switch cars first, that includes going in to take a leak even, wont happen period. There are way too many tool bags running around to even think that my car would be safe, people are always gunning for you when your towards the top of the automotive food chain!

I have been a fierce competitor most of my life, if I cant win then I wont compete, so if I race you then I obviously think or know that I will beat you, otherwise I will stay home and preen myself until I feel I am ready or I will pick on lower hanging fruit until I am up to snuff to take on the big dogs in whatever it is that I am competing in, but to lose? I cant stand it, this has likely driven alot of would be friends out of my life if for no other reason just the intimidation alone, in my own defense though, I am likely one of the easiest guys to get along with and will do almost anything for my friends and have, that guy you call at 3am because you are in the back of the police car? yup, that's me and I will waste no time coming to your rescue, on the other side of that, I am an alpha male that will throw a would be friendship away to take you to the wall if we are competing, if for no other reason simply that I dont give away wins, you get it from me...you earned it, so if you are the type that gets offended by such actions from your friends then I am not the right one for you, however friendship has its privileges, I am loyal to a fault and will take up for you at any given time, wrongs will be righted, I am not afraid to call in a favor or two either or drop some names to bail you out, I put it on the line for my friends...now if only I could find friends that feel the same why that I do!

Haha yeah man. I go the extra mile for my friends as well. Good friends that you’re compatible with gets harder to find as you get older.

F the haters. Sucks we live in a world where we have to worry about our cars because it’s nice and fast. No place in my heart for them!

Once your out of high school the places to meet like minded people drop by around 99% and thats the actual reason it gets harder to meet people after high school, also your bs meter gets more sensitive to flakes since you have more resources to offer now and you now notice those resources not being appreciated by people who are taking them from you and sometimes not perpetuating the giving, lots of takers out there, never enough givers. Remember that the most precious commodity that you have to give in limited quantities is your time, most everything else is replaceable.

There's no place on this planet for them, but there is a special place in hell for them!

Definitely lots of takers over givers. It’s unfortunate but that’s the world we live in. You just have to be you and be at peace it. One of my faults growing up was that I always put my friends first over family but now that I’m older and I realize my faults, I have changed when it comes to that.

Haha for sure!!!

Now you have 2 pages in your profile. Page 2 is us just rambling on about life. Lol

Well I might as well add this:

When your car screws you, fist it back!

I have no friends anymore after getting married and having kids

I like reading builds. How the car changed along the way and the story of going faster.

Heck, that was the very abbreviated story, I left out how my buddy would buy a set of injectors and we would start talking about goals for power and he would talk himself into yet another bigger set and I would buy his injectors still in the box new at a huge discount, intercooler piping, hard parts, etc all the same.

Golf course shots!

Is it me or is the fmic anodized gold?
