'''Story:'''

Mitsubishi and Toyotas seem to pass through my family a lot. My parents use to own a '95 red VR4 Spyder and a '98 green SL. The SL was eventually given to me at the start of high school. But being young and immature, I totaled it. The following months to come, I picked up a '91 silver VR4 with some issues. Figured I can fix it up and have a super fast car, but it didn't turn out so well. Eventually, someone gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse.

A year later. I found my '96 base model. The only thing I could think of was modding the hell out of it. I started with weight savings, and stripping it apart. Then I got into suspensions and such, next thing I know I'm Auto-xing. It didn't take long until I wanted to hit the road course. A little while later, I was struggling to keep up with BMWs, Subarus, and Lexus IS in the straights. After a couple more events I blew my motor. I did a full rebuilt and added a bunch of goodies. I wanted to go with real higher compression but anything after 11:1 piston had to be custom made, and I wasn't going to waste a lot of time waiting for weeks to months. After a good $4.5-6k later. I decided to take it to a drag strip. And to my surprised, my best time with a 50 shot of NOS was 14.4 only. And without NOS 14.7. You can guess that I was a bit upset. But that whole second faster also made me a lot faster on the road course. In the coming years, I'll be doing a lot more road course events and auto-x events. Eventually my car will break down hard on me. So when the time comes, I'll be picking up a VR4 and start road racing with it too.
