i trip down memory lane to current

found old pictures of my old cars and bikes.

97 Ealge Talon TSI AWD bought this car back in high school. had 88K miles bone stock. motor blew at 121K, did a stageI SBR full 6bolt motor and other stuff. this car is now located in chicago blown up and parted out...





97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. this car had a hybrid 6bolt block on a 2g head. sorry dont have many pics of this car... i know this one is still in town, it was bought at madcity sales by the new owner.



94 Toyota supra turbo, had basic bolt ons. i sold the GSX for this. long story about what happened but they gave me 10g's for the eclipse and i paid another 8500 for this supra. it was riced out but for the price i didnt care. i had big plans for this car. after figuring out the hacked up ecu harness and getting everything back to where it needed to be, i ripped the body kit off and got all factory body parts sanded it down got it primed up and then.. got married and had to sell the project.... after 5 years. i only put 3000miles on her in the time i've owned it.










00 Yamaha R6, i sold the talon for this. not much bone stock, didnt really do much with it.




05 Infinit G35x, this was my wifes car but i was paying the note.




09 Suzuki GSXR bought her brand new 2 weeks after it hit the showroom floor at Engelhart. traded the R6 for it. Jardine slip on pipe.



08 Mitsubishi Evo X GSR brand new from kayser in 01/10, got a good deal on it so i picked her up. 400miles brand new for 29G's out the door. this had the sound, ground affects and the bigger spoiler. i installed a catback exhaust, K&N filter, boost gauge, turbotimer, greddy type s bov and street tuned by 600 miles. i bought this car 2 months before i found out i had a kid on the way. DOH! sold it last month and picked up a 4runner.





97 4runner sr5 lol clean high mileage but still runs like a champ. =D

lol im just telling it straight up and answering the question "why'd you sell the supra?" before people ask. i would never sell a supra turbo none the less without finishing it atleast and making all the time and money spent into it worth it. i got 2 supra turbo 6spd's im looking at right now that is price pretty cheap compairing what other 6spd supra's are running for. i want to pick one up before winter and store it in the garage so i can look at it and be happy i got another one. but may just wait until spring and save up that extra cash over the winter...

nice history. I'm not an import guy myself but you had some nice cars and I can respect the time and money that went into them. Good luck on getting another supra!

And this is why dsm's get a bad name. Punk kids buying them because they are cheap to pick up and don't have a clue what there doing then it blows up and automatically dsm's are unreliable pos.

^ so true..

who did you buy parts for your Supra through? I'm looking to pick up some harnesses and connectors

im just look around supra forums or 2 other supra owners out in milwaukee. plus i get my OEM parts from Curt down at Elmhurts toyota scion in Elmhurst, IL. he gives discounts for supra owners and supraforums members.


DSM arent as bad as people say they are. if you know what you're doing and take care of the car it will last.
