[ReptileMatt]

Hey I'm Matt. Live in New York. I go to school at UAlbany. I havn't really owned my own car yet. I've been driving the family van or the car my dad used to drive down to New York City.

18 now. I figure it would be about time to purchase my own ride. I am a big Mitsubishi fan. Always wanted the 3000 GT VR-4. But well, for a guy in my status, it's too much. I figure I can settle for the Eclipse .

Right now, I'm actually deciding wether or not to buy an Eclipse or Tiburon (Huynadi). Which ever deal I get that is the best at the time I will take.

Came on here to ask a few questions about the GSX model though. I found one for 6k after I had the dealer drop a grand.

hey everyone my name is Cyle. yeah the only kyle I know that spells it with a C. I am 18 and in the Airforce. Stationed at Luke AFB Az, and i just bought a 92 talon Tsi fwd automatic. I know a lot about f-16s but not so much about my talon. I joined to learn a little about my car. thanks in advanced for all the help I hope to get.

Hi, I'm Roy.

I live in Ithaca, New York. That's in the middle, a little to the south. People from Albany get offended when you call it "upstate." Are you from the area? PM me, I'd like to hook up with other DSM'ers.

Originally from Oakland, California. Near the shady 80's, in case anyone is a local. Attended college in San Luis Obispo for a couple years, too. That was fun. Recently moved to NY to finish up my degree, studying Natural Resources and Environmental Law at college here. It's fun.

My gf (highschool sweetheart?) and I own a 1996 Gsx and a 1990 Ford Taurus. With a DSM and a Ford, we do lots of walking. It's a love hate relationship. The DSM was in a head-on and repaired by a guy who was out to make money on the deal by reselling it. Lots of drunken bondo. I'd like to research what I do and what I buy, and share as much of that info as possible. This forum has been a lot of help for me. Thanks to everyone who posts My two goals are to have a goodlooking, 12 second DSM, and to not become an internet dickhead. Have a nice day.

I never said Hello so here it is. I'm Aaron, 21 I own a 95 Eclipse RS that just sux (read my sig and you'll know why), a busted all to heck 98 Civic DX, and a 96 Dodge Avenger ES V6. I love music, high speed and lots of torque. I have a wife who's 19. I spend lots of time researching what custom stuff has and has not been done. I love AF because the knowledgeable people that have taught me so much.

Hey I'm Chris. I'm 18 years old, and live in southern Wisconsin, a.k.a. hickville USA. I hardly ever see any DSM's driving around, but the rare ones I notice now that I own one.

I will be attending UW Platteville this fall, majoring in either Computer Science or Business, can't decide which. Don't really put a whole lot of thought into it right now, just takin the basic shit right away.

My car is so slowwwww, but what can you expect from a N/T. I sorta wish, wait, I really wish I would have bought this 98 GSX I saw down in Illinois, but I was impatient and bought a 99 GS... Oh well, I'm gonna put some basic speed mods into the beast, and see how far that gets me. I'm hopin to top 200 hp, for less than $1,500, staying N/T. Good luck, huh.

It seems I'm on here all the fuckin time now. I just read and read and read, and then post, and then read somemore. I have gained a helluva lot of knowledge about DSM's, and try to apply it to my car the best I can. Where I'm at, there are not really any performance or tuning shops within 100 miles, so yeah. I do what I can, with what I got.

If you wanna know more, just PM me.

Hey guys,
I'm Rick, livin in Miami, getting that MBA AND I'm 26. I just got a free '99 Eclipse RS. Can I be your friend?

By the way, the reason it was free was because the timing belt is bad, the fuel filter and battery need to be replaced, and it's sat around in a parking lot for about THREE YEARS.

From an investment perspective, should I part it, or fix it, and try to not lose my arse? PM me with your advice. Thanks.

Oh, I also just started a company that makes carbon fiber/fibre parts for Ferraris (specifically Testarossas). Of course everyone that reads this would automatically be a fan, but do you feel like there's a market for CF stuff (more than a hood) for DSMs?

Cheers!

Hey my names Travis and I live in Hawley, MN about 30 min. east of Fargo, ND. I had a 91 Talon N/T auto and sold it. Now I'm looking for a 2g manual (any kind) or a 92-94 T/AWD Talon. I like the Talons more than Eclipses alot less common and more rare.
