Modern Automotive Performance: Your source for DSM performance parts!

This is my 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse. This is my first car and I never want to get rid of it. When I bought it I was too excited to actually look at what was wrong with it and ended up buying a heap of junk. It got to the point that this car meant too much for me to sell for a gst or gsx and I wanted real performance. so I put together a turbo kit peice by peice and eventually got to where it is today. I've never been one for body kits or wings. I like my cars clean and performance oriented, so I painted it with Championship White paint and threw some dark RS Limited 18's on it and called it a day. If you like it then rate me up, if you don't then rate me down. My car makes me happy, who gives a rat's ass if you think it needs a body kit :)

So i've come to realize that cars are expensive. I'm going to school next year and I don't know if I should sell this or keep it. the money would be really nice but I've put so much time and money into it already. If I sell it i'm gonna get a truck and get into that scene but if I keep it then I'm going to go megasquirt with a built bottom end and supporting mods to do like 20 lbs. what do you think?

custom made Turbo kit is installed and running great, fixed my oil drain line that was leaking and got my wastegate dumped back into the exhaust (page 5)

I let my girlfriend drive it and she loves it. It's funny when we pull up to a light or something and the guys in the car next to us are like "wtf ?" that, and she looks super hott driving it lol
