Hey guys I'm James, I missed the first meeting and only found out about this organization because someone had a MM logo on their beamer in a parking lot, so I googled it haha. Anyways I drive a 99 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, which is unfortunately at home in the shop right now getting its engine and clutch replaced... bummer days. So right now I'm driving a 01 Explorer SportTrac. Also, back home I work at a Hyundai dealership as a lot attendant which, as ridiculous as it sounds, has to be one of the best jobs ever.

So that's me look forward to meeting some of you guys at the meeting tomorrow, which I probably can't come to because of a late class, but where is the meeting located?

Hi, welcome to MM, glad you were able to find us, this club is a lot of fun. The meeting is at 7 in HHS in the lobby then we are going to find a random class I guess according to the email sent out.

Welcome! Not that you're on the forum make sure you get on the email list. Also, watch the facebook account.

Paging Justin and DJ to wax poetic about DSMs

Welcome! Car looks clean... bummer it needs an engine. What killed the original?

Always thought SportTracs were neat, in a funky way.

[jdwatkins93]

Yesssss please do, so long as I don't get crap for lacking a turbo

Thanks! It had a catastrophic oil leak caused the engine to overheat and melted a piston rod. Should have it back sometime in October thank goodness, I've been missing having three pedals haha

And yeah its pretty neat but I bought a four cylinder car for a reason the thing eats gas like its nobody's business....

By the way if someone wants to private message me their number or something so I can find out where the meeting is if my class ends soon enough that'd be great. It's a 6-9pm class but its the first lab of the year so it might be short...

Love it, that GSX is sexy why'd you sell it? By the way, do you know how much it was lowered?? And is that a Cupra R lip on it?

And I've already ruined one engine no need to slap a turbo on and ruin another haha

Welcome to the club... Broken stuff is the DSM lifestyle :thumbup:

Edit - here was mine with DJ's wheels on it (engine is also in pieces right now)



DJ (D_Eclipse9916) on the forum also had a couple back in the day.

Oh lordy do I know it haha

[JustinG]

Yes a cupa r lip, and it was on eibach pro kit springs.

Sold it because becoming an adult sucks.

It was loud uncomfortable and never got driven. So I sols it and bought a much cheaper loud uncomfortable car and a DD.

[D_Eclipse9916]

Is that a 1999 OZ Edition? I had one back in the day before I ended up picking up a GSX.


This was the problem with it (automatic)


Shame on the oil leak, and you are smart not to turbo the non-turbo....Justin.....
Back in the day when mine was clean before all the track mods..

[jdwatkins93]

Yep 10 anniv. OZ edition. Shame about the auto I can see how that would make this car a whole lot less fun haha. I like your small army of DSM's
