History: Car was purchased in early '99 as a daily driven fun car. Was left stock for only a few months before Roy started to modify it. With basic bolt-ons and a big 16g turbo Roy was able to run 12.7 @ 115 mph on street tires. This was full interior daily driven and his only car. Tragically Roy fell victim to crankwalk. He decided to go with a bullet proof motor. 4G63 motor form a early 1st generation turbo Eclipse. Also added was a 20g turbo. First time at the track with this set-up he was able to knock down 12.1 @ 115 mph with basically no tunning. Later with the same set-up he laid down 11.81 @ 121 mph. With stock ecu, full interior, and was still his daily driven car. In late 2001, Roy managed to damage the motor and decided take a huge step into modifying his car to a street driven/drag racing car that most people dream of. All his hard working money, countless hours and one year of preparation with the help of all his sponsors, family, and friends he made his dream come true. Many people doubted him, and no matter what he was told he proved them wrong. 2003 finally saw the car back into action at the Sport Compact Cars Ultimate Street Car Challenge. Roy spent a great deal of time readying the car for road racing and handling events. With a well setup Mueller JIC suspension package, the car got 2nd overall. Mueller the wild man drove the car to a first place finish in the road course section.
