			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Halloween is here.  It&#8217;s that time of year when everyone dons a sinister costume and takes to the street in pursuit of loot.  Bryan Roehrs&#8217; 91 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo is no different.  Sharing it&#8217;s underpinnings with the venerable Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, this is one trick or treater who won&#8217;t take that sugar-free crap the dentist in the neighborhood insisted on handing out every year.  <span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mitsu-media.com/showthread.php?t=7301"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-235" title="The most common view of a Stealth R/T." src="http://mitsubishi.gearboxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bryan_arch.jpg" alt="The most common view of a Stealth R/T." width="750" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s your real name? (What&#8217;s your screen name?)</strong><br />
Bryan Roehrs (SixFourTwoHero).</p>
<p><strong>Where do you live?</strong><br />
O’Fallon, Missouri (30 minutes from St. Louis).</p>
<p><strong>What do you do for a living?</strong><br />
I work full-time at a local auto shop.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><a href="http://www.mitsu-media.com/showthread.php?t=7301"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-239" title="No surprises here.  You know what you're getting into..." src="http://mitsubishi.gearboxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bryan_office.jpg" alt="No surprises here.  You know what you're getting into..." width="400" height="400" /></a>What Mitsubishi do you drive?</strong><br />
A 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo (same as 3000GT VR-4) and a 1996 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD (same as Eclipse GSX).</p>
<p><strong>How long have you had your Mitsubishi(s)?</strong><br />
Stealth &#8211; 1.5 years<br />
Talon &#8211; 3 years</p>
<p><strong>What got you into Mitsubishi?</strong><br />
I grew up loving cars. Around my pre-teen years, I began to favor imports. The Hondas appealed to me at first. Luckily, I was surrounded by Mitsubishis right before I got my license and fell in love with them. Those Mitsubishi owners saved me from a lifetime of let downs.</p>
<p><strong>Got a favorite story to tell about your Mitsubishi?</strong><br />
Mine would be the story of how I found my Stealth. It all began in the fall of 2006. I was looking for my first car. It had to be turbo and AWD. Naturally, I looked at Mitsubishis. I found a panda Talon at a dealership in my area. I went to the dealer and test drove the car. I fell in love. When I got back, I noticed a white Stealth in the back corner. It was a bone-stock ‘92 TT in pearl white, with the porno red leather interior. I lusted over it. I then realized it was twice as much as I had budgeted for. I went ahead and bought the Talon.</p>
<p>I never quite forgot about that Stealth. Don’t get me wrong, I still loved my Talon, but it was just something about the twin-turbo V6, luxurious interior and advanced technologies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mitsu-media.com/showthread.php?t=7301"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-240" title="It's Stealth Technology.  You only THINK you see it." src="http://mitsubishi.gearboxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bryan_profile.jpg" alt="It's Stealth Technology.  You only THINK you see it." width="750" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Fast forward a year and a half. I had been saving up for quite some time again and began my search for a new car. That search didn’t last long. I found a nearly-identical pearl white Stealth in my area. It had similar miles (around 80k), but lacked the porno red leather interior. It did, however, have the ultra-rare cloth seats. The car just got a rebuild and was absolutely immaculate. I kept in contact with the seller while I tried to sell my Talon. Lucky for me, the seller was the coolest man alive. He took the Stealth off the market for three months without even accepting a deposit! By that time, my Talon did not sell. However, I had a little help and was able to buy it straight up. This moment was one of the greatest moments of my life. I was able to purchase my dream car at the ripe age of 18, all the while being able to keep my first car as a daily driver.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.mitsu-media.com/showthread.php?t=7301"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-238" title="One cool drink of water." src="http://mitsubishi.gearboxmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bryan_fountain.jpg" alt="One cool drink of water." width="400" height="400" /></a>What are your goals for the car and how close are you to achieving them?</strong><br />
My current goal is to break 400AWHP in the Stealth. I have the fuel system ready to install and I will pick up my WRX turbos this winter.</p>
<p>My ultimate goal is still undecided. I do know one thing for a fact: I’m going to keep the Stealth with me to the grave.</p>
<p><strong>What was your favorite modification? Why?</strong><br />
A good manual boost controller. I spent nearly a year fiddling with “Home Depot specials” and the eBay junk people gave me. I was never able to hold steady boost. A spur of the moment decision landed me with a Hallman MBC. It was an entirely different car after that.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for your Mitsubishi? Why?</strong><br />
Stealth &#8211; Hibernation. It is 19 years old now and doesn’t have a spot of rust. I want to keep it that way.<br />
Talon &#8211; Continue to abuse and neglect it until it blows up (the same philosophy I’ve had since I bought the Stealth).</p>
<p><strong>Who has helped you the most along the way?</strong><br />
I would have to say everyone on the forums. They provide me with technical support, feedback and motivation. I like being able to do everything myself, so my friends are often neglected when it comes time to working on my cars.</p>

<a title="Mitsubishi Owner Day - When we all go home to visit." href="http://www.mitsubishicars.com/MMNA/jsp/owners/mod.do" target="_blank">The MOD Squad</a>. These are the factory workers at the Normal, IL facility who spend hours upon hours of their free-time to host a massive (and free) event for all of us Mitsubishi owners. That is truly taking pride in the product they build!</p>
<p><a title="Rob Douglas at Mitsu-Media.com" href="http://www.mitsu-media.com/member.php?u=1" target="_blank">The founder/owner of Mitsu-Media.com, Rob Douglas</a>. He has set the bar for what an automotive forum should be about.</p>
<p><strong>Is there a particular shop you&#8217;d like to recommend?</strong><br />
Jason from <a title="PriceMatchedParts.com" href="http://pricematchedparts.com/" target="_blank">PMP (pricematchedparts.com)</a> has always treated me right and has all the right answers. His prices can not be touched, either!</p>
<p><strong>Do you </strong><strong>spend time on any Mitsubishi sites? Which ones?</strong><br />
I spend way too much time on <a title="Mitsu-Media.com" href="http://mitsu-media.com/" target="_blank">Mitsu-Media</a> and <a title="Gateway DSM Forums" href="http://www.gatewaydsm.org/forums/" target="_blank">GatewayDSM</a>. It’s difficult to stay away for long periods of time, as I have met some of my best friends through these forums. I also check in with STL3S (found at <a title="United Society of 3000GT and Stealth Owners" href="http://www.us3s.org/" target="_blank">US3S.org</a>) and find most information I need at <a title="3000GT/Stealth International" href="http://www.3si.org/" target="_blank">3Si</a>.</p>
