Hey folks, my name's Chris, i've been surfing the site for a couple weeks now, figured i should join up and say hello.
I own a 1992 Eagle Summit DL sedan, 5-speed that i bought on a whim from the local tire shop(the owner hangs onto the trade-ins for a local crappy car dealership) for a princely sum of 70$. after 200$ in parts, it passed the safety and e-test, and screamed through 6 months of pizza delivery(45000kms), and then had the crap kicked out of it when i started to autocross it.
i absolutely love the car, but haven't had the money to do anything special to it. The only thing i've done is slap a set of 15" Honda Accord rims on it(got them for 100$, but the center-bore didn't fit when i got them, a local shop machined the rims for me for 20$ and they went on perfectly after that) wrapped in Kumho all-seasons.
it runs strong right now, keeps me in the middle of the pack for the local autocross events, above some mildly impressive toys(new Civic SIs, my friend's 280ZX Turbo, and some talentless moron with an S2000), which makes me smile at the end of the day.
I do have plans for it, like Whiteline lowering springs and Koni shocks(the stock suspension is shot so i'm just waiting till i can afford the performance parts, rather than just replacing it all with OEM parts), some of the tricks i've been reading about on this forum(4G37 MAF, TB, injectors, and ECU, already sourced it all for less than 160$), Sprinthart CP-Fs (if i can find a good set), JDM bumpers and side skirts, and some fun (read: expensive) stuff from RPW, but that'll all come once it's not being eaten by rust.
that's primer and bondo on the roof, from my crappy attempt to fix the giant rust spots on my roof(it didn't work, it's already starting to bubble again). i'll grab some new pics in the next day or so of where the rust is growing, and of the car in less of a halfassed state.
