Back to working on my Z

Well its been roughly 4 months since iv even touched my Z. Iv been very sidetracted lately with work and working on my Eclipse. A few months ago I decided I no longer wanted my ZXT and wanted a DSM but thank god Im finally over that phase and am back to working on the Z

Well in my Highschool parking lot another student under the influence decided to plow into my GSX. And with a little persuasion, I convinced the insurance company to total it. I was trying like hell to sell the stupid thing at the time so it just goes to show sometimes good things do happen

I figured Id post some pictures of my Eclipse.

When I first bought it^^^^


Before getting hit^^^

Glad you got rid of that common ricer car. Yeah I guranttee you would have regretted selling the 280zx. No offense, but I really don't like Mitsibishi's. I really think they are a pile of crap. Good luck on getting your Z, where you like it to be. And like I said no offense bro' not my intention. People on here, know me enough by now, I am sure.

Damn, thats not a lot of damage for them to total the car. I must say yours didn't look bad, almost every single Eclipse I see around here is ridiculously riced out by some highschool kid.

I agree almost every eclipse in my area is riced out. but in the right hands these cars can be very fast, but I realised there just not my type of car. Iv always hated mitsubishis so to be honest I have no clue why I even bought it, but its gone now and thats all that matters. I bought it back from the insurance company and just resold it to some kid.

And the main reason I bought it was for AWD but after a while that got terribly boring, Ill stick to RWD
