Well I am new to the tuner world. I have want to get into it back in high school when when uncle was working on his 02 Honda Prelude. Basically its been a few years since then and I finally think I am able to been my project. I don't have a lot of money to put into it all at once. I not really sure where to start looking for a car, I heard the junk yard is a good place. I was wondering is there a junk yard or a place where I will find specializing in tuners? I live in Colorado due to military work but I have access to Phoenix too. There are so many cars to choose from. I always dreamed of a Skyline but lets get really fat chance. I been looking at Eclipse but I read that they aren't really that great. Someone help me out!!!

Take a look at the Eclipse GSX's.  They're AWD/Turbo with a cast iron 4G63 motor.  Great car and cheap.  Contact Corsport USA in Denver.  I order my parts from there.  www.corsportusa.com.  Remy and Tai are the people who run it, and are great people to work with.

Okay I will look into it.

One more thing does anyone know where I can find a website for salvage yard that have their inventory online? I'm currently in Iraq so I can only look online. If anyone could help me find a Supra 39-96 (Fat Chance) or a Eclipse 95-99 i would be grateful. Like I said it can be from a junk yard as long as i have 75% of a car to work with.

^ only theres no such thing as a 2002 STI.  STI wasn't made until 2003, however, the WRX made its debut in 02.
