 I'm back again! Hey guys, been a member here for awhile now, but I haven't been active here for quite awhile so I thought I'd just update here before I post to other stuff. I used to drive a white 96 Eclipse GST. I wasn't very car savvy, but I had heart surgery last year so I started to learn about the car while I was recovering. After about six months of driving again, a 01 Honda Accord crashed into me. I was thinking about parting it out, but after revisiting this site I think I'm going to try to revive my dsm! I can finally do the 2gb conversion on my car! Anyways here are some pics of my car!   Wish me luck guys! I'll post up pics as I progress.

Re: I'm back again! Good luck getting it running again. A few pick a part trips and you should be fine.

Re: I'm back again! Well, I finally unjammed the hood and pulled off the fender to look more closely at the damage. At first I was thinking that I would finally get to do the 2gb conversion, but after thinking it through, I'm going to sell the car buy a GSX (hopefully in the near future because I'm driving my old Saturn at the moment  )

Re: I'm back again! Ya, the radiator support was damaged. I just figured instead of using money to fix it, I can sell it and then get a GSX that already has the 2gb front.  I just went outside to take the pic real quick, had to hold up the hood so I didn't really get a good shot. I'll try to get some other pics of it up tomorrow.

Re: I'm back again! I'm going to start parting it out soon, I'll post it in the for sale section when I get the chance. My back is injured and it MIGHT require surgery, so I got to get a friend to come pull everything out for me. Maybe this weekend. PM me with things you might need, and I'll let them know to pull those parts out first.

Re: I'm back again! My car just came back from damage almost that bad. Check the sad panda thread in the pictures. I had insurance pay a body shop though. It was like a $5k job.

Re: I'm back again! Dang, I'm glad you got your DSM back though! I was quoted like 3000 to fix the car, so I decided against it since I've been seeing GSX's going for like 4-5000. Hopefully by next year I can pick one up!
