Hey Brandon. Where did you go to have your car painted? Was it expensive?

I've had a few, so I'll put them in chronological order: 1995 Eclipse GS. I was a hardcore ricer back in the day. This was my first 2G. Purchased in '01. I had alot of fun with this car. I miss the fact that it never broke down, and it never nickel & dimed me. Then, when I decided I wanted something faster, I bought my '99 GST and eventually sold my '95 GS on eBay to some rich kid in NJ. And I still have the '99, as most of you all know. I'll probably never get rid of this beast. I then purchased this '90 Laser FWD. I basically bought it for the 6-bolt, as I wanted to do the swap back then. I ended up selling the engine, parting out the rest of the car, and giving it away. Next, was this '90 TSi AWD. I had hoped to turn this into my year-round DD, but ended up trading it for a Porsche 944. Next, I bought a '95 Talon ESi. I picked this up pretty cheap from a co-worker basically with the intentions to part out. I ended up flopping it and buying a new Turbo for my '99. Then was the '95 GSX. This was my donor car for the AWD swap on my '99. Only thing wrong with it when I bpought it was a t-belt failure and a missing ECU. When I sold it to the scrap yard, there was nothing left. Paul > poor '95 GSX Next one was the '95 TSi AWD. I bought this just for parts. It served it's purpose well. Then came another '90 TSi AWD. This was purchased just to re-sell. I kinda wish I would have kept it though. And last but not least, my '91 TSi AWD. This is my current project, as most of you already know.

my first two dsms i'd need a scanner to get any real pics up because tuners screwed me years back when i forgot to back the files up and lost the pictures i had in the gallery. anyways it started back in 01 with my first dsm, a red 92 talon es. that car is probably the reason i have such a soft spot for red 1gbs and red cars in general. lots of neat little cosmetic touches and some 2ga gsx wheels. then in 03 i picked up my first real dsm, a pristine white 91 laser rs-t. then in 04 i got bored with fwd and got a 90 tsi awd. after a lot of restoration, new sheet metal, and a paint job plus a 92 gsx rear: then that winter i traded my wheel and tire setup off the talon for a dirty, dead galant gsx. which seven months later became this and was short-lived and nine months later left like this: then came the laser which i resurrected from a friend's back yard and later went to matt who we all know made it kick ass. the day it died then i supposedly took a break from dsms and in december ended up picking up this "gem" and thats about it. then i bought the glorified over priced dsm called an evo. which reminds me i need to do a winter-mode shoot soon once we get some real snow

First DSM was a 90 awd talon. Bought it non running, and already had a 4 bolt rear in it, fresh paint, and an electric sunroof. I too was young at the time and had little idea as to what I was doing. All I knew is that I ripped the entire car apart, wanted to completely rebuild it from the ground up, and have 300 awhp. With my income at the time, I really went overboard on my goals, so it kinda sat for a while, and I kinda lost interest in it. But then I picked up another dsm so I sold this , the original PROJECT_TSI. I sold it to loki. I'm fucking retarded and I with I never sold this one. RIP During the time that the 90 awd sat, I bought a 91 eclipse gs 2.0 nt. Again, non running, I used some parts, sold some parts, still have some parts, and took it to the junkyard. No pics. It was champagne. Also during that time, I found a 91 laser fwd turbo for sale locally that kinda ran. It came w/ 3" RNR exhaust, HKS TT, boost guage, Maf translator and 3" maf that I still use today, and a few other little mods. It ended up needing the balance shafts removed, as well as some new timing components to run. When I first bought it. And the fwd ho that it came to become. Stroker, and some good shit, but it was dumb to put a stroker in a fwd. During that time as well, I purchased 2 non running dsms as a pair. One, a 90 laser turbo fwd, and a 90 awd talon. I bough them both for $240. I sold the awd a week later w/out title for $750, and then parted out the fwd. But on it, I found a small 16g that I originally put on my red laser. Later on, I purchased this 90 awd for $400 w/ no set plan on what to do with it. It was non running, and later found to have no compression and needing rebuilt. I ended up trading the car to Paul for a set of cams. I also purchased this 92 talon awd 6/4 non running for $250. It was in decent shape so I decided to fix it. I found it needed a fuel pump, and a ecu. I threw in a wally 190, and an extra eprom ecu I had laying around. She fired right up and drove great. I did a little TLC and maintence to it, and a few mods. Exhaust, boost guage and controller, etc. I cleaned it up, and sold it for $2800. I wanted to keep it, but I only sold it b/c selling that, finished my other gsx. And that takes us to the current car. Its a 93 GSX I picked up a full car w/out engine, for $1000. It had full thermal 3" exhaust, megasquirt, some guages, etc. It was a very clean car and was originally all black leather. Heres what it started out as. And then it transfered into the 500+awhp fucking bad ass monster.

Randy, I remember when your blue 1g was for sale. I totally wanted it but had no cash lying around. That was shortly after I had first met Jessica.
Brent, those 3g wheels looked hot on your last 1g, I kinda wish I still had 'em lying around.
Dano, I think I came across your black 1g with no title when I was looking for another DSM a long time ago. Funny to look back and think about that.
