as far as buiding a low 11 sec dsm..i am really not sure money wise but i think joe is pretty damn close Its all about getting stuff used for us to build a cheap car... www.thepartstrade.com you also have to be willing to wait for the right stuff i.e....my roomate has gotten vpc msd dis2 upper i/c pipeing off the parts trader and saved alot of$...imho if i was seriously looking to build a fast dsm for me starting off with the right platform a 92 1/2 to 94 would be my choice..especialy if you were planing to put a new engine in right away. the 921/2 to the 94 have better drive line( these items cost lost of $and 4bolt rear end is a must have for mid 12 or faster) but have a little bit smaller rod than the 90-early 92(not to mention a few other better things)


As far as me doing something nice to the crx well ...the idea of car payment after the eclipse is paid off is not all that appealing( more mod money for the eclipse) but i need something a little bit more enjoyable to drive than the way the crx sits now so that is something i am seriuosly thinking about if the $$ vs what i will end up with seems good to me that said though i love my awd and dont see that ever changing so the dsm will be here to stay as the race car!

The wrx all i can say is kick ass!! 4sfed4 had some dealer propaganda on thurs. night the factory i/c is huge and the car looks kick ass. 4sfed even said that there is rumors that the factory is going to offering a upgrade chip to put it at 280 vs the factory 227. Joe i think we will have to wait and see about the driveline stuff but all they build is awd cars my hope is that all the exeriance will pay off in that!.I can tell you though now that the Mother mitsubishi has left us out to dry with bastardizing of the eclipse i think you will see alot of dsm people move towards the subaru( you cant go to a dsm bb and not see something about the wrx)
