... THIS car:

A 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. 

Anyone who has any sort of interest in cars knows about DSM's. Mostly that they are kids' cars and unreliable. These things are true, but these two facts are related. Every dumbass tooner kid for years and years wanted one of these, and then proceeded to destroy it in every way you can imagine... trying (and failing mostly) to go faster. Most people are all thumbs, they can't build anything, they refuse to do research, they don't understand anything about a car let alone a semi-complicated turbo car. So these all got blown up. This car is no exception. It is on at least its third motor (that I have evidence of) and guess what, it doesn't run right.

Built right by a competent person, this is a supercar killer. This little guy will FUCK UP your Ferrari, and do it with junkyard parts.

I've owned several DSM's over the years but I've never had the space/time/money/ability all at once for a proper gonzo build. Now I do. This car is going racing. It's getting built for autocross first, but will see as much motorsport as possible. This pic is the moment right before it stopped being a car and became a race car.
