Default Just saying hi the TEXAS WAY

From TX and been a big DSM fan since 95. I currently have a 99 OZ GS (wife's car) and a 98 GST that is undergoing a 6bolt transplant.

Thanks everyone.

Sebba, Fort Worth here.

Both of them are notready for pics yet. As for plans here's what I've done so far:
99 OZ GS (wife's car): I've already rebuilt the motor with forged internals to handle my future turbo plans. Once the wife gets tired of it being slow, I'll put the turbo kit on; which is currently collecting dust in my garage. As for the rest of the vehicle, the previous owner riced the hell out of it so I've spent some countless nights removing all the neon wires that he had all over the car. In fact, I've already had to replace the tranny last week; which is a PITA doing while the motor is in the bay.

98GST: Currently on jack stands awaiting a 1g transplant. I've been too busy goofing around my S13 & S14 projects so I haven't had any time to play with the eclipse. Here's what I've done to the 1g that's going in.
-bored .20 over
-wiseco 9:1 pistons/rings complemented with eagle rods.
-acl race rod/main bearings
-balance shaft removed
-headhas been ported and polished complemented with Ferea SS valves (I'm still debating with the cam selection. I might go 272/264).
-1g intake swap with 2g inlet.
-t25 was replaced with a 16g

What's funny is that I have a 2g motor that I rebuilt to the same specs as above. I didn't know which way I was going so I rebuilt both the same way. I'll try to post pics of the rebuild because I have 1 more that I'll bedoing in a couple of weeks for a buddy of mine.
