Ok it all started back in 1999 my sister wanted an Eclipse for her first car And I was trying to get a 3000gt or stealth wich I never got but my sister got a 95 talon with 43k on it for 4000$ I had never diven a car that could chirp third unthill then. Skisp forward to 2003 I blew up the motor in the suv i got intead of the 3000. So I traded even for my fist DSM a 97 dodge avenger. Feb 04 a friend gave me a 1.8 talon need a motor and to be reassembled and some minor body work. june 04 totaled the avenger and in july got a 96 spyder with a sliping tansmission. August 04 bought a 90 gsx for $450 needed ecu and fuel pump. sept bought a wrecked 91 1.8 eclipse to repair the talon. Nov trans went put on 96 spyder. Dec 04 blew motor on 90. Early 05 bought a 92 laser with a buddy of mine whom had a 91 gsx. March 05 talon on the road and repainted. aug 05 all cars except talon flooded due to hurricane katrina had 9' of water. 96 and 90 were insured sent all except the 90 gsx to junk yard. I kept the 90 with the intent to put it back to gether after colecting many parts over three years I am up to two weeks ago when I came across a 96gst spyder for 300 trasmission just about gone and was running like crap dude tought he blew motor but it had major vac problem that were easy files and he thought theengine was leaking oil but all the motor mounts were gone and the engine moves so much that the p/s pump hoses sliped off and he tought it was an oil leak b/c the turbo was bad and burning oil. So I think I got a steal. So I have now decided to scrap the 1g and do an awd swap on the 2g gst. I have planed a 2.3 stroker with an insane t70 turbo. Have yet to locate a awd parts car in a resonable distance from me. Well I know this is long but I apreciate yhou takin the time out your day to read this.
. i would also love to do an awd swap due to traction issues.
