My friend Tom put a new motor in his eclipse this spring, and yesterday put it on the road for the first time. He decided to take a ride out to see me at the shop.

The lights are not there to “check out” the sweet engine, rather to fix the broken DSM :banghead: It looked kinda Ghetto outside of the shop fixing his car so I snapped a few pics. 🙂

LOL, it wasn’t really his fault, a water line got pinched by the turbo wastegate and put a hole in it. No biggie, just funny cause it’s a DSM.

My DSM never runs.

Seriously, I have been daily driving mine for 7 years now including every winter, and I have no other car. I mean, it has gone through some rough times (motor build) but with 195,xxx on the chassis, I would say it is holding up well for having close to 300 whp. I guess thats one of the perks of owning a parts store.

The real question is: How long before he decides to play “smokey and the bandit” and wrecks it again? I say by the end of August.
