34616, Its official I have to marry this one.
Posted by goalie40, Jul-15-08 12:47 PM
So the other day on driving home from a movie. I was talking to my chick about her getting a new car(she needs one bad)We have looked at mazda 3&6 even a hybrid(her)

Her "babe would it be weird if I drove a eclipse too."
Me "um um what did you say."
her "I love your car, I loved watching you build it."
me "really (shit eating grin) you want an eclipse"
her "I want to build one like you did"

So after talking a little bit more about it. Im in the market for a gst/gsx or a 3000gt I always wanted one. :)

The reason I leaning for the 3kgt is I found a 95 w/80k and leather for 1100. It has a busted tranny, needs to be rebuilt. I also found a TT stealth at a junk yard with everything needed to make a TT FWD.
just waiting for a email back.

I soon will be in the care of 3 dsms.......on second thought that sounds like alot of time working on cars not driving them. :)

What she means is, "I want you to build one for me...and I never want it to break down."

Don't do it.

That's what mine said, and she actually did it.


It was too much effort maintaining it and she never wanted to push it since it had a lot of usual DSM problems, so we sold it less than a year later.

I have a running Twin Turbo engine at a yard. Its on hold with my name on it :)

Its from a 90% complete vr4. I can get the whole car for 800. For under two grand. I have a Running SL and a VR4 to pull almost everything I need. Or I snag just the engine and keep her fwd.

We set her budget at 6-7k total. Her dad built bikes as a hobby. She watched me build my GST and helped at times. She wants to do this. Im gonna help should be fun.

AH! I see, should be an interesting project then. if you decide to upgrade the turbos I might like to take the 9b's off your hands }(

the vintage sportsracer could use a little boost }(

why? on a street car a roll cage is serious overkill, not to mention who wants to drive with a helmet all the time?

Would've been cheaper if you just knocked her up......

That's debatable. If I had to shell out cash for my little girl it would have run me ~$25k I doubt he's gonna spend that much money getting the car running.

there are a lot of FWD TT guys on 3si.org so I hope you do your research. A buddy of mine put a GT42R on his FWD TT. Took awhile to get it running right but it's pretty mean. I miss my VR4 a lot and hope to pick up another one someday. Maybe even a 99 or a Spyder.
