Its long as hell, but worth the read.......
i was on my way home Saturday at like 1:30, and i pulled up to the stoplight right before my street. Going in the opposite direction was a lancer(non-evo), and an eclipse. i quickly turned in their direction and attempted to catch up. As i started to get closer the lancer was in front of the eclipse and a car was in front of me, so i sped up to go in between the car in front of me and the lancer. Naturally the dick tried to speed up so i couldn't pass.  it was an automatic. I didn't even gear down, and made it in between the two of them, then when i looked in the rear view the eclipse was bout 5 inches from my ass. So i got over. I had NO idea it was a GST, i had a body kit on it, and it was de-badged. Air bags, chrome 18's. All the heavy ass crap a smart person wouldn't put on a turboed car. (wouldn't catch me in an eclipse if my life depended on it)whatever floats ur boat. Anyways, he spooled up, and blew off right beside me. I smiled SO big, and his passenger pointed, he told me to honk it, but neither of our horns work 
So the dude in the passenger seat said ready set go real loud 
I geared down to second and took off. I found myself sitting right next to a turboed eclipse.i hit third and started to pull a little bit, but when i went for fourth..........well, i went to second.........lol.........i must of had that bitch up to 11 or 12 grand, i caught it real quick though, thank god.....but never the less......they slowed down and let me catch up, and he asked "what the hell u got in there?" i said "its a secret", he said "its ugly as hell, but its pretty fast"
thats why i love these cars sooo much, no one knows!

a GST is a mitsubishi eclipse FWD turbo,
this was a 95-99 eclipse GST,
but they also make a GSX model that is AWD...
sorry i forgot things are a little different in the states.
yea, the fx16 is a small corolla hatch that comes with the 4age 16v T-VIS
