Killed two Fords with one pass
Coming home to San Diego from a sick weekend at HIN two Fords tried to test me. Guess they got intimidated by the new Team SR banner Yamaneko gave me. Didn't want anything to do with them being that I had already been driving for almost two hours.
The Ford Probe 24V was the first to rev me up and I ignored...then this Mustang came rollling by...gave little attention to these two. They came egging me on and passing me weaving through traffic, while I just strolled by. Then it got annoying. The Probe was on the far left lane and the mustang was next to him just a car length back with me behind it.
Fed up with these two I came around the mustang to his right and made sure that they were ready...all the while the Probe trying to gain distance. I down shift to fourth...and I was gone...these two could not even catch up. They had no skills on the freeway. I left them wondering...what the hell was that...
All i have to say... Team SR represented.

The 1994 lantra and mitsu engine specs are pretty much the same...just set differently in the engine bay ( i.e intake, battery) Manufactured by same company I think but not really sure, but all my aftermarket engine mods are for the 94 eclipse and it has really given me an edge. Same engine in a lighter car. 
I was hoping to swap with the 2.0L Cyclone turbo engine JDM spec but then my car wouldn't be street legal and I don't have that kind of money to mess with.

I had blown my stock engine and it was due for a rehaul...my shop came out with a mitsu engine rebuilt w/ under 30,000 so I went ahead with it. Before hand I was looking for the 2.0L Cyclone which they have at ARD performance by my house in San Diego but that would have a a major undertaking both money and time; and of course illegal. But my engine looks cool with a mitsu valve cover lookin' at'cha. Total for the engine work came out to almost $1,400 w/ labor and changing water pump and other shtuff. Engine itself was around $700.
