i had a '90 talon tsi, and drive a '93 civic lx as a beater. when i was @ sjsu, my two roommates both owned mitsu's too (or eagle/diamond star motors) '93 talon tsi and '97 eclipse sypder gs-t. damn, our little cruises would be sooo awesome...

but we sure did have our share of "problems."

good times. haha.

I had a Turbo Teg. Quick little 1.8L until I realized it wasn't cutting it for me on the twisties!! Maybe if I had swapped out a much better suspension like an Endless/Zeal B6, then maybe I would've kept it afterall. :roll:

I came from a 95 Talon TSi AWD (fun car) and a 90 Laser RS (daily driver). Sold them both and bought my EVO as a graduation present ;)

300zx TT, 300zx NA. I loved those cars, but the upkeep was killing me. That and the aftermarket parts are generally more expensive than parts for my Evo. Like my Stillen cat back which was 1100$, compared to my Buschur which was around 450$ or so.

hey leif, are you a member of BAP? i got some friends in the bay area that were involved. juss some names: ben (red lude/white rims), tito (bumblebee), fred (red lude/sold), and los (silver/big rims)? sound familiar. havent had much contact with those guys since i moved up here.

whoops, didnt mean to get off topic. :lol:

yea dude i know all those guys. i've been a memeber of BAP since it started. tito just painted his car red...haven't seen ben in a while, saw los a few weeks back at the santa cruz meet we had. i don't know fred that well though. they're all on my buddy list too. i go by TypeSH03 on there.

I guess im in the minority here. Mostly import owners here. My last car was a Z06 and Ive now got a Lightning and the wife drives the evo. Not a big fan of the imports but the evo just kicks ass!

I would love a Z06 which is quite the amazing car. I am looking forward to seeing the performance of the C6 Z06 when that is finally announced. I've seen some of the specs for the base model C6 and it is right up there at C5 Z06 levels.

That's it. This is my second car.

I just have the EVO now. For a while though, it was tough trying to decide which one to drive :D ......NSX or EVO

Comparing the two.......I'd take the EVO anyday.

i traded in a 2001 miata for my evo. the miata was a fun car to drive, just didn't have enough power. so it was either turbo the miata or trade it in for the evo 8. best choice i ever made in getting the evo. i get the best of both worlds - a roomy sedan with world class performance and power.

I think Jan is the only one here (for now :?) who can claim that he owned an Evo before he owned his current Evo. :P

You might say he 0WN3D his previous Evo. :lol:
