I used to own a 1999 Eclipse GSX Matt. I got tired of all the rattles, squeaks, and repair bills. had alot of mods on it and it was great when it was road worthy. I sold it and bought a Maxima. Best car I have ever owned. I am currently looking into getting an EVO. Let me know how you like yours and how it compares to a DSM in every way. Thanks.

I use to own a 91 GSX. I modded also...and I can tell you that my stock Evo feels much more powerful!
I never said it was a bad thing, I dont care so much about straight line performance anymore. I love the car just the way it is.

Thanks for all the welcome's guys, Ill be around alot.

Congratulations. I did the same, traded my 95gsx for an 04 Evo 2 weeks ago & already hit the track yesterday. My times are posted on the drag racing thread. Even though I had the gsx since brand new, I love my Evo so much more. There is no way you will keep you Evo stock especially if you love drag racing. Just like when I say that if I break 13's i will be satisfied then goes for 12's then 11's & so on. It just never ends.
