About
My husband and I love fast cars. We own a small automotive shop in Bremerton, Washington called My Mechanic. This was the first csm that we have owned. We have owned many eclipses, talons, and a couple of Vr4 galants.

I bought this one a couple of years ago from a guy on this board. Most of you might remember this one as the one that sold on Ebay for $4700. It only had 8x,xxx miles back then.

I was working in San Diego, Ca at the time and bought it has a Christmas present for my husband. At the time I also bought the turbo, mani, plug wire cover, Eprom Ecu and a few other things.

The car came completely apart after only having it in Bremerton for a week. This rework took approximately two months. Unfortunately, since I work outside of the business and we have 3 kids, it takes time before we can get to our own projects.

We had visions of making this one awd as we were dissappointed with the lack of traction. We decided not to do this, as it was too nice of a car.

We are however undertaking an awd project and have just pulled it into the shop. I'll keep you posted as that project comes along.

Thanks!

Naomi

Thanks for all of the positive comments. This car was owned by Timmylikesboost. His wife made him sell it when he bought is Evo MR. He did however see pics of the car after we made the modifications.

He asked if we'd give him first chance to buy it back if we ever did decide to actually sell it. At this point, the car isn't for sale. But you know how it goes... everything is for sale for the right amount of cash!

Here's the interior:
This pic is of the Sti seats that are currently installed. I still have the oem factory seats. I just keep them in plastic in storage. They are mint as well.

Here's a shot of the rears. They have been used very little to not at all. My kids have been in them a couple of times. Especially at the car shows.
Image
This one is of the hatch area. The speakers, cargo cover, etc are all intact. Probably looks as good now as it did when new.

Here's a shot of the rear. Factory stickers are still intact.

Very clean! I have a soft spot for red ones (even though I normally don't like red cars). Just needs the stock front seats put back in, those STi ones don't really match, and that is blasphemy putting scuby parts in a mitsu!

Lol. I wondered how long it was going to take one of you die hard dsmers to say something about the subie seats!

I personally prefer the stock ones, but the seat choice was my husbands, since this car was for him.

If I were only able to choose from a stock color, I think I'd choose a black csm. Black on black is pretty hot.

But as luck seems to have it, I only seem to find red ones. I have owned two.

I did however, just buy a white one. Since it wasn't in the best of shape and I really don't want another white car (van & vr4) I'm going to paint it.

I was thinking Electron blue pearl (yes, I'm a Honda whore at heart) or possibly a graphite gray pearl.

I love 99-00 Si Pearl Blue. I have a 92 LX four door with the B16A2 in it from the Si. It's a hauler man. I'm just hoping that by the time I'm done with my CSM that it will keep up with it if not blow by it. It's an all motor beast. I would take pics of it but it's snowing and the car is a little rusty right now. After the summer when I do the body work on it and paint it, I'll post it along with my Colt. I'm going to paint both of them nighthawk black pearl. Great car though. That Mirage is really nice. I really dig it.
