1990 eclipse gsx. Had an upgraded TD05(H?)turbo, spiral header (ugh), and upgraded 12v fuel system. Made really decent power even though the power and was meh. Had it about 3 months before I made the executive decision to sell it before I killed myself.

Had a full 3” turbo back from magnaflow that was loud as hell.

Bought it in 2012 for $1200 with 143,xxx miles on it. If I had it today I probably would have kept it. The interior was immaculate except for a couple cracks on the dash.

    I had a Mazdaspeed 6 back in the day. I may or may not have rolled it over into a drainage ditch on some twisties…

    That was a real object lesson for me. I thought I knew the car well enough but I didn’t know the road well enough.

    Thankfully nobody was hurt so I took my lesson and moved on.

    Proud to say I haven’t wrecked a car since and it’s been well over ten years since the day I had to say goodbye to the speed 6.

    I miss that car. It was a black, fully loaded grand touring model and got absolutely ZERO attention (except from people who knew what it was). FBO with a tune made it an absolute blast to drive.

    My current fun car draws a lot more attention (particularly from young guys lol)
