Hello from South Dakota.

Hey, name is Derrick, im from Brookings SD but am moving to Rochester MN this fall. My parents live in Hayfeild so i go and visit them alot. I bought a 1998 Eclipse GSX AWD about four weeks ago in minneapolis, so i am kinda new to dsms. When i visit my parents, i usually cruise around Rochester. well, here are some pics of my gsx.



















So far it is all stock (for now) I am sponsored by Ams Oil, recently i put ngk performance plugs, xact performance wires. I plan on getting intake soon (since Ams Oil is giving me it) i get free octane boost, and free racing oil (just minor stuff right now). I should be getting exhaust and boost control soon and some more modding when i get more money.

Welcome. Paint looks awesome. Not a huge fan of the color but it looks brand new. Also don't like the underglows, but I can't say much because I had them for about 6 months myself when I first got the car. Good luck with the car.

Welcome. Virgin cars are the most fun to start with, good luck with the modding!

And watch out with those neons, they've proven to negatively affect the flamidation valve on other local members DSM's.

Re: Hello from South Dakota.

I like the car, other than the ricer lights. Who knows, maybe they'll come in handy sometime when you need to look under the car and the flashlight batteries are dead; if it was mine, that's the only time they would EVER be turned on.

Re: Hello from South Dakota.

Looks good, save for the lights. [/broken record]

But yeah, stock cars are a blast to start with, once you get all of the kinks (if any) worked out. You learn a lot and can appreciate the mods that much more. There was a while where I was pissed off, and wishing I'd bought one of the modded options I had, but I couldn't be happier with my car right now.

Re: Hello from South Dakota.

When I lived in SD, underbody lights were like HTA35r turbos. All the cool kids had them.

Re: Hello from South Dakota.

Actually blue or any color streetglow is not illegal, unless in motion...

well duh you can do what ever you want while your parked. underglows serve no purpose and they are a major sign of being a ricer, no real tuner will take you seriously. not being a dick just the facts

Welcome to the board.

How did you go about getting a sponsorship from Amsoil? what are they sponsoring you for?

Re: Hello from South Dakota.

I like the color, but that's because my old 2g was the same so I'm a bit bias, but those underglows have got to go.
