Well, since I already posted afew times, I figured that I should introduce myself and what I'm building. My name is Marcus Martinez. I am 19 years old and have been around cars all my life (who hasn't?). I am currently building two cars for the hell of it. One is my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD which is down right now for a rebuild (BEWARE OF WEB CAMS FOR THE 4G63!!!!!). Long story. The other is a 1989 Mitsubishi Mirage with the 4G63T swap with primary duties being a track queen. I plan on making this thing street legal so I can have fun roasting the fronts through 3rd gear easily (it already did with a 20g with plans to go bigger). I have yet to get a few details finished on the Mirage that will allow it to pass Bandimere's inspections (Rollcage, battery kill switch wiring, etc.). Anyway, back to the Talon. A few of you probably have seen me drive around the Aurora area a few months back. Black '90 Talon with a huge front mount, wheels, exhaust and tint. I have done one of three things to almost every part on this car: Repair it, Replace it, or upgraded it :D . As my sig says, I ran a 13.275@105.69 on 16 psi of boost with a shitty tranny at bandimere. This was done this past 2003 season. I also run at Second Creek (free weeks only pretty much) and have mustered a 1:23.7x on stock worn out suspension, stock brakes, and street tires. No race rubber here :p . Anyway, I think that's enough hearing about me for a while. Onto the Posts!!!!!!

Hi

Anywhere I can pull it from :) . I mainly sell used DSM parts for extra spending cash. But it also helps when I have an older brother that was into this before me and still has a lot of performance parts laying around. Overall, I think I have close to 9 or 9.5k into my Talon (including the two rebuilds). The Mirage, My brother and I purchased already having the engine swap and most of the systems done for 3k. We really haven't put much more into it. If anyone needs a used DSM part, give me a buzz and I could probably find you what you need if I don't already have it stocked.

Welcome, In about 3 months when I get home i'll be looking for some stock parts. Like a 1g TB, 2g stock BCS with the insert, and a T-25. (For auto-x reasons)

Whoa!!! I didn't think I would be bombarded with questions :cool: . Oh well. I can get a lot of stock parts for a 1g eclipse/Talon/Laser, but not too many of the second generation parts. Yet. I do have an extra 20g laying around, but it needs a rebuild royally. Shaft nut spun off on me and destroyed the rest of the turbo. TEC built the turbo and would hear nothing about a warranty rebuild :mad: . Always blaming the user for their screw up. It's good to be part of another club as I'm already part of three other clubs. RMDSM, CoDSM, and RMCGP.

Thanks for all the welcomes !!

Oh, BTW Stu, I'm a new member, not a housewife :king: .

Mirage

No new clutch discs, but I have one used 1g stock-like clutch if you need one to get by with for the time being. It has unknown milage on it, but still has around 50% left. If you want it or need it, $30 and it's yours. Includes pressure plate, clutch disk, and the bolts.

Lemme know...

How about the injectors? hehe

Size? Impedance? style (top or side feed)? I have a few sets of stock 450cc injectors off of the 1g MT cars and a set of high impedance 380(?) cc/min top feed injectors.

I never know impedance...but I was hoping for some 440s or 450s.

Do you know how much resistor boxes go for?
