10817, I'm a man with a plan!
Posted by ScreaminE, Jun-14-06 12:26 PM
I think the 1g eclipse is sold. Somewhat sad to see it go but I'm sick of putting money into it and working on it all the time. I am buying a cr 250 dirtbike soon as I get the cash in hand for the car.

I will be graduating from college in Dec. 07 so it wont be long until I get a higher paying job and steady income so I want to build up the 420a Talon. I've had the car for over 5 years now and it is my first car so I think it deserves it.

I've wanted to build that car since I got it to shut up some of my mustang and camaro friends but never had the funds. I want to go with a built bottom end and worked head with a hahn 20g setup w/ 3inch exhaust and megasquirt yada yada yada. I would like a nice powerful autoX car.

I thought some of you O.G.'s would like this plan.

Hell of a plan. Hope everything works out the way you're expecting it to.

You must be really attached to it if you're willing to spend money to fix up an 8 year old car instead of looking at other options when you have the money.

I don't see how you couldn't be atatched to the sexiness of a 2g :-) A fast 2g is just a overloaded sexy machine.

Strangely similar to mine...minus the 1g/dirtbike. Oh, and I'm out May '07.

It's been a painfully long wait, but in the end will all be worth it. No more buy a little shit here and there with the extra cash I can pinch. I'll just do it right, once.
