Lemoore,
California
Whatdup guys, I'm starting my build for my 1997 GSX. It is a DD and I'm aiming for 300-350 hp to start off with, until I learn more. A little about myself, I'm currently 18 going to school full time, and working. I don't have all the funds to get everything as quickly as I'd like so bare with me. I owned about 5 cars so far, one of them being a 420 Auto 97 RS. I loved it, but sold it because I wanted to get something "Faster" after going to a V6 Mustang (haha). I decided I wanted another Eclipse, this time only boosted. I found an add for a 1997 GSX about 4 hours away from me. Talking my mom into taking me we left the next weekend. I went to go look at the car with the body kit, and roof scoop. The interior seemed clean, and the outside wasn't to bad. He failed to mention that the roof scoop was completely cracked. Regaurdless I paid him 5g's cash that I took out of my own money. The car seemed to be in good condition, and had 107k miles. Shortly after buying the car (1 mile) the check engine light came on and the build began.
