  1. hey everyone. I hate introductions, but since I have to post up I will tell you about me. First I have been working on cars since I was 16, started off with a slow camaro, bought a cavalier (which i still have), then I bought a 2002 CBR954RR, a few months after I bought my bike I was t-boned by a jeep cherokee. So while I was laid up and collected unemployment and insurance money I purchased a 1991 Eagle Talon Tsi. Since then I have invested way too much of my money into this beast of a car. Back in late november I fried the wiring harness in multiple spots (previous owner had a wrong altenator on it). Then I decided to jack the car up and perform some adjustments on it, and the jack went through the floor board. (the talon is a canadian model, thus rust has been a big issue). Needless to say, after much of my time, I have decided to do this car right, and I bought a 91 eclipse gsx, that has a beautiful frame, and wiring harness. I am in the process of swapping everything over from the talon to the eclipse. Now for the parts list. Full suspension, you name it, i have it, just not adjustable tubular a-arms (which i really want but cannot afford at the moment), bushings all around, bigger sway bars, strut bars, eibach pro-kit, kyb agx struts, (next step is coil overs all around but again, it costs money). Engine mods:currently big 16g (which once i pull the motor that is being upgraded to a gt3582r or a holset hx40) 560cc injectors, holley fuel rail, aeromotive a1000 fuel pump, 8 gallon jnz fuel cell, aeromotive fuel pressure regulator, all stainless fuel lines, tial wastegate, greddy type s, and greddy type rs BOV, fmic, 3 inch open down pipe, Apexi AVCR electronic boost controller, SAFC (which is being replaced by DSM link or megasquirt that is still up for debate), all autometer guages (name the gauge I probably have it). Shep stage 3 transmission also with a welded center diff. Umm, really can't think but I know I missing probably a lot. My best time at Beech Bend 1/4 mile track was 11.626 at 121mph, my 1/8th was 7.542 at 94mph and my 60ft was 1.76. The same day I broke my rear axle and destroyed my transmission. I hate track bite, its to rough, haha. A little about myself, I am a broke college student going to Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. I have been working at Advance Auto Parts for over 3 years, and during that time I have also worked at the Corvette Plant for a year and a half. Below are some pictures of my toys. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Talon%20Parts/DSC_0204.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Talon%20Parts/DSC_0197.jpg http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Talon%20Parts/DSC_0198.jpg Those are all of my Talon, this eclipse is what I am currently swapping into. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/DSC_0128.jpg and last but not least, a memory of my old toy that was destroyed by a jeep. http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p53/brian-preston/Picture054.jpg also, I am trying to start my own photo business so if you want some shots let me know, I am a cheap photographer, and can show you my portfolio.

  4. FYI......let's try not get this thread locked. Play nice in the sandbox Billy. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-nflplayer-stopped&prov=ap&type=lgns Cop who stopped NFL player in hospital lot resigns DALLAS (AP)—A Dallas police officer who detained an NFL player in a hospital parking lot while the player’s mother-in-law was dying inside has resigned. An attorney for Officer Robert Powell said Powell resigned Wednesday over the March 18 incident in which he drew his gun and threatened Houston Texans running back Ryan Moats. Powell stopped Moats’ SUV in the Plano parking lot after the vehicle rolled through a red light. Moats’ wife, Tamishia, and other relatives were also in the car. Moats’ mother-in-law died while Powell was ticketing and lecturing him. Powell later issued an apology, which Moats accepted. The resignation was first reported by Dallas-Fort Worth television station KTVT.
