Hi. My name is Shumyyal, and good luck pronouncing that. I live in San Diego, CA. My D.O.B. is July 18 1983. I go to college and plan to transfer to San Diego State soon. Majoring in dentistry. Currently work at an office building as security/lobby reception. Hobbies include cars, weight training and art.
I am nuts about cars. I draw them, work on them, my life pretty much revolves around them. Its scary to the point that I check out more cars than women.
I got my first eclipse as a complete fluke. It was a deal so I bought it, but had never actually planned to get one. 98 GS Spyder. I modded the exterior to the max, and then craved a turbo after driving my friend's GST. Swapped mine for a GS-T spyder later on, and I have had it for one year now. I LOVE eclipses. I am a die hard fan now. I think the 2G Eclipses are the best looking cars in their class BY FAR. No competition. :ylsuper: .
AF has been the best thing to happen to me as far as increasing my knowledge of my car goes. I have learnt A LOT in very little time and started working on my car with the help of the regulars on here.
Below: I'm a hard worker.Yes sirrreeeeeeeeee..........

I'm studying right now (college, my major is Automotive technician) i already have a electronic and mechanic technician from Argentina (where i'm from).

Hello. My name is Mohammad (my friends call me Mahdi). I live in Mayland, born in Texas :smokin:, and i am only 16 at the moment :disappoin . My bro and I have owned 3 dsms so far, all eclipses. I dont know much about cars, but since joining AF i have learned alot. I have to say i have read alot about dsms, but its really hard trying to learn something w/out applying it. These days i try to actually work on the car with my bro.
I am currently attending college studying Computer Science/Information systems. I am planning to transfer to University of Maryland in the spring. You ask how? I say, i have a brain, and i seem to use it to my favor :biggrin: .
I am a big soccer fan, support Real Madrid (a club team from Spain for those who dont know). I play soccer too, not that bad either. :naughty:
lol, i think i better stop before i reveal other secrets.
Go Terps..... umm thats if i get accepted! :iceslolan

I just stalk 95 GSXracer, and have read everything he typed since 2003. I was jealous when they made EclipseRST a moderator, but then I saw the post about it and realized I was a mod too.
I was a newbie at AF, then when I felt like I knew a little bit, moved up in forums, and am currently a newbie with the NABR people. Meeting lots of important people and their fast cars, unfortunately I don't impress them any with my vast experience.
Paid $12,000 a few years ago for my 97 Talon TSI AWD. Had 35k miles, 3 years of warranty, and the motor/brakes/turbo/clutch had 49 miles on them. Pussyfooted around a few thousand miles, and the car currently rests in Alaska with 46k on her. Moved to Colorado Springs for college(computer engineering), and my car is coming down next summer with plans for the fastest street car ever conceived, 16g.
Car has a cheap ricer filter, home depot intake pipe (thanks kevin), 3'' apexi turboback, brode UICP, 1g BOV, and a BBC MBC. Can't forget the boost gauge/gauge cluster pod :). Total costs are around $475. Should have run 13.7's, but I turned the T25 to 21psi like a retard and it misfired all the way down the track to a 14.4. Oh well. Car won't see the track until it has another $7,000 into it, next summer.
Oh yeah, I'm 18, but 21 on the weekends and at the store.
Next summer, I'm going to ship the car from Alaska to Seattle, then drive it to Oregon and buy Dallas J's (RMDSM) Big 16g. Ported, clipped, 34mm flapper. Search 34mm flapper posts by Kevin to see how dumb I am. Then, I'll drive to Sacramento and beat up on some Hondas, drive to Colorado Springs, get all my shit to college, then fly to the '05 Buschur DSM shootout in OH to party with Kevin and Jake.

I'm Joe, a 20 year old college student from St. Petersburg, FL. I'm currently attending school at UVa, majoring in English and Anthropology. Future plans include being a high school teacher for a couple of years, then probably attending law school, most likely at Univ. of Florida.
I've had my 96 Talon Tsi Awd for about 8 months now, and it has been a joy to drive every day. Like many of you, I browsed this forum on AF for many months before actually posting, but in retrospect, deciding to become a member of the forum community was one of the best things that could have happened to my car knowledge (and my car!).
There are some very experienced members on this board, and they have a wealth of knowledge that they have shared and are willing to share. So search first, and then ask questions!

I'm Dayna, from Indiana, 21, and an optician where I'm at least 30 years younger than all my co-workers except the owner. But I will tell you people in their 50's are very perverted so it's always entertaining. I'll graduate from Indiana University in December. I hate school so I'm glad about that.
I dont have a dsm but I come on these forums to give Jake something to do. I have a miata, and in the winter I drive my boyfriend's WRX and let him drive his 197something ugly yellow "short bus". We also have a RX-7 turbo II and a very rare RX-3.

I'm 21 and live in Waterbury, CT(one of the worst cities to live in) and I am a tape operator which is just a job for me. In high school, I was athletic and ran alot, but when I graduated, I got my eclipse gs. I only use my legs to shift and acclerate nowadays. My car has a ram intake, greddy exhaust, front and rear strut bars, and ngk plugs. Next on the list is the udp, short shifter, and hoping to be boosted soon. I came on the site to learn about upgrading my cars performance and I got a lot of help and learned a lot.

Don't think I ever introduced myself, so here it goes:
My name is Ashwin, at the young age of 17 I'm a senior in high school in southern california (thousand oaks). Just got my 1998 GS-T (5spd) a month and a half ago or so with 49K miles driven by a 43 year old woman to work and back. She got bored of ppl trying to race her, so she put it up for sale. It was garaged for its whole life, and the paint is in such good condition that I now have to clean out my own garage to put the car in. Anyhow, planning on doin a little here and there for supporting mods and then finally putting in a 14B....or a 16G depending how much i really want out of it. I'm debating between leaving it stock (gauge & MBC) because its in such an awsome condition and working on it later, or just slowly goin to work on it over the next 6-8 months until i get a bigger turbo to put in next summer. Whats your call on it?

Hola, I'm Will. I'm black/venezuelen/korean (go figure). I just turned 17 last October and i got my Eclipse RS, 5 speed, not bad for a 1st car. I live just south of Dallas, Texas, in a city called Duncanville. I'm a Junior in high school and i'm currently taking my 3rd year of an automotive class. I want a new car sometime soon, such a GSX, while i'm still in high school, since the school has a fully operational garage, i won't have to pay labor :naughty: i'm currently J-O-B-less right now, so i'm job hunting so that i can eventually get a new, faster car. I've been into cars every since i was a baby (i built road courses with dominoes, lol), i've been in love with 240sx's every since i was able to grasp the idea of tuning cars the right way. but now, i've got a new found love for DSM's, so i'm having fun driving the hell out of my RS. i've been a member of AF for quite some time now, and i've had my lumps here and there, all in the process of learning. i'm pretty knowledgeable about 240sx's and drifting, so if you ever need advice, i'm your man. peace yall

Hi, everyone, I'm Leah...17 year old girl who is currently a senior at Topeka High School in Topeka, KS, and getting ready to attend Tech school all at the same time (whew..)
I feel really sorry for my car right now...i think it's feeling very old after reading what eveyone has...I have a '93 Eclipse GS 1.8L with a five-speed shortshifter (about the only good thing about the car currently), that burns oil very badly...but, it has 190,000 miles on it, so who can blame it? When i bought it, it was extreemly uncared for, but, i'm tying to help it along the way...the way i figure, it's better than the '91 Accord that i traded in to get it...anyway, feel free to e-mail me if you want..buh bye!

Hi, my name is Tim. I'm 21 and from a little town called Nottawa, MI. I recently purchased a 95 Eagle Talon TSI for really cheap. It needs the engine rebuilt because of a spun rod bearing. I am in the process of rebuilding my engine now. All the machine work and rebuilding I am doing my self. I am currently attending Ferris State University and getting my Associates degree in Ford Automotive Service. I work at Gateway Ford in Sturgis, MI as an Automobile Technician.
In my free time I like to spend time with my Beautiful Girlfriend Kim, play guitar, work on my car, waterski and whatever else I can find to do.

Hi, my name's iberto, I'm from Germany, I love my DSM and it sucks how hard it is to get parts in Germany. Anyway, my ride is a 1G and I care for it a lot. I'm glad to see how many people love this car and how yours look like.
I wanna do a headlight-conversion in the future, but custom made stuff is mostly forbidden, so that sucks most! I wanna get rid of my popup lights and I'm looking madly for those side skirts that look like a crescent in the end (I think they're old). Unfortunately I don't have often time to visit the internet, so if anyone likes to contact me or tell me where I can get those skirts, just write a PM or mail me.
Thank you

Well I live in Stockton California which is in the middle of Cali, well sort off. I owned a 98 GS A/T for about a year (My Baby) Took very good care of it, put A few visuals like turbo wing, tv, new paint job(etc) No point in performance since It can't be as fast as big brother 4g63 without alot of money. Finally sold it and bought my 98 Spyder Gs-T. Finally boosted! Well ive done tons of reading and know what path i wanna go performance wise. Glad to be here, learn alot just by posting and reading here. :smile:

I own a 92 Eagle Talon FWD non turbo, its not really all that fast but it makes me smile.
