'''My Story'''

In 1998, my graduation year I went to the local Mitsu dealer and wanted to test drive the new Eclipse GSX. I had an older Eclipse GS that I loved to death but was ready for an upgrade. While at the dealership, I saw a white VR-4 spinning on the pedastal on the other side of the lot and fell in love. Knowing I couldn't afford it I didn't pursued it but it then became my "Dream car" right next to a Corvette.

Eight years later I finally got my white 1998 VR-4. Completely bone stock, and leaking some oil I drove 4 hours to pick her up. I fixed the leaks and got her in tip top shape while studying the information here on 3SI for the next 2 years. By then, I had a budget, build plan, a HP goal, and track goals.

In October 2008 the teardown began. My build goal was 400-500WHP, be completely streetable without losing any creature comforts, and run 11.5 in the 1/4 mile. Phase one(see what she can do) mods took me 3 months to install while working full time and going to college full time. She at dynoed 460WHP. I was quite pleased to say the least but, I just wasn't finished yet. Phase two(more power) began the summer of 2009 and produced 594WHP. No track times since phase two, but the NG is rapidly approaching. I am beside myself with this and now it's time to put my focus elsewhere. Phase three(total beautification) is put on hold until after my family and I move to Georgia in 2011. I still have a full weight, full interior car, with great street demeaner, lots of power, and all the factory installed creature comforts. I have never done anything like this before and thanks the knowledge gained here I built her to what she is today. She is my pride and joy. Thanks for reading.
