dammnn so my car is on its third owner that sucks..I hate the smoked tail lights but I could live with the black wheels. Wish I could have rode in it with a tune.

Hey, I'm the guy who bought the car, and I just finished driving it up (after a few stupid things) this weekend.

Don't worry, it'll be well taken care of. It's not going to be a daily driver (or ever see snow for that matter) and it has a nice dry underground parking spot. Given my limited garage work space and limited time and excess computer nerd budget, I'm having my close friend's shop DSG - DENT Sport Garage - Self Built. A sport garage in Norwood, MA. USA prepare it into a time trial car with my Muellerized JICs, a full set of Evo 8 brembos, 17x9 Advan RGIIs, and a big oil cooler/ducting. Should be a fun time with the FP3052 vs. my old T28 6-bolt setup.

If you're curious about my history with DSMs, and/or want to follow what I'm going to be doing with it, you can see it here:

Raising the Titanic - The Mitsubishi Curse Returns - The Something Awful Forums (I'm Octopus Magic)

It mostly starts with my '97 and what I was going to do with it, but then as you can see, things changed.

Cheers!

What are you doing with the old talon wheels?

Damn just saw this while browsing, Hell of an old thread and first time actually posting here, but I believe this car is the one I own now and surprisingly has no rust still!! Currently sitting getting a new motor build as I had bought it as a shell from the guy that had bought it in Mass about a year ago.

That is one great story.

It's a good feeling to see our favorite car years later.
Do you have any pictures?

Yeah, the good thing is that's still rust free, but they abandoned it and was not in the best looking shape as it was few years ago. But making progress little by little trying to get it back to where it was at. Currently searching out for a set of 95-96 twisties sikeskirts as when they were driving it from Fl to Mass they dropped 1 in the highway and left it be.
When I bought it:




How it sits now:
