as per request, here it is. Its got some bugs, but i'm happy with it. mods: maf translator 3"gm maf short ram hard uicp turbo xs atmospheric bov(set up to sound like a hqssv) megan 3" up/down pipe 3" turboback apexi n1 ported manifold act 2600 and greddy flywheel 2" drop lowering shocks NGK cold plugs, msd wires the bad: pass fender dented in bumper holes stripped on fenders, so taped up:laugh: still in tuning process (massive retarding, phantom knock) future and in progress: evoIII 16g and manifold 225lhp pump, 750 inj dsmlink 2gb(97-99) front end conversion in progress fmic(piping already had) Its fun to drive, I can smoke 90% of locals, and I can hang with a mildly modded STI. flameon
its faster than what I need, and its really just a whole new world compared to: ****ty and rusted cherokees 89 convertible auto mustangs slowerthandogpiss rs's with quarter damage.. no matter how fast or cool looking i will make it, nothing will fill the void a departure with a gc leaves you with.
I does not look good honestly speaking, i am sure its fast and rides nice tho. Do an Eagle talon swap.
nope, shes not a stunner by any means. once the conversion is done, and I can afford $1100 of paint material, it will look better.
why youve had bad experiences with GC's? also i miss my dsm youre lucky to still have yours in good working condition
from day 1 of owning my rs, I had the worst experience I can handle for a while. week 1- blown tranny. month 2- blown tire, and had to have it fixed at walmart. they drifted with it and **** on bare cement, blew up my tie rod and loosened the steering up. month 4- coming home and turning a blind corner, saw 4 deer, swerved and hit a snowbank to avoid them. ruined my rear quarter, messed up an intermediate shaft in the rear. I just traded a friend(Who knows nothing about these cars) for his dsm. I regret the trading around every sharp corner, driving in slow traffic and when it rains or snows. I am planning on buying a 4 door gc in july for a project car. But that all depends on if or what I decide to do to this car.
i used to own a 92 eclipse...back in the day. Archer Bros racing in Duluth really helped me out, the at least used to be dsm rockstars. I actually loved that car and it drove very nice. :yumyum:
They still are. They actually helped me with nissan problems too. Nothing like going to pick up my car and having to walk around a couple dozen vipers on the way.
ughgg, i dont miss mine at all, but i guess if you like it, I would hope to god its a gsx/tsi with AWD if not...thats a waste of money
Nice car, hopefully you didn't expect too many positive comments out of this group My bro had a 95 talon tsi and then a nicely built 93 talon tsi so i know some dsm guys through him. There are handfuls of fast dsm cars around that would hand most of the naysayers in this thread their asses so to each his own I guess. I'm assuming you already know of dsmstyle.com
They made a bunch of my fuel lines for me free of charge their mechanic has a silver sti. Im not sure if hes a member here or not. Tommy has a cabin a mile from my place.
hahahahahah:laugh::laugh: from one dsm(past owner), they can be fast, they can be fun, its just not the same...but best of luck.... Oh and to JNorth or whatever, you are a true noob my friend, a noob at best, silly boy we don't judge a car by who it can "smoke"...cmon F&F bull***:laugh::roll: thats what Fobia does(I kid I kid):biggrin:
The exact reason I hardly ever post on this board. I'm just a silly noob who's been around this club longer then you have and learned that most of the time its just not worth it...
I tried to do that with my rs, but nobody wanted one.. also, to the idiot who assumed it cant keep with an sti, bring it on Ive got a timeslip from the old owner of 12.9@109...
damn a 12.9, that has to be fun to drive, ask pra4sno about his old dsm, he had a talon with like a $5k dollar hardcore 5spd tranny, it was nuts...to jakeachy's point they are fun to drive, I guess I am just upset because mine caused me so many problmes, but i guess back then I thought a manual boost controller from ebay was the best!...ohh and voltmeter gauge FTL! seroiusly though all fake hating aside, I bet its a ton of fun, and it will look tits once you paint it!
speaking of DSMs...a buddy of mine will be pushing about 800hp this summer...a blue 2nd gen...he is down in apple valley, i will post picks of it when i get home for those that are interested! but in my mind....its still a dsm :ugh:
here is the one i was talking about... View attachment 9494 View attachment 9495 View attachment 9496
I love the old high-school mentality of benchracing. -No one will believe it until they see it. Make all the claims you want, you need witnesses or documentation to back up your claim. -Driver ability and competence plays a huge role in skreet racorz. I've seen cars with double the power of my old stock whips fall flat on their face. Car ability is always trumped by driver disability. -Pull a slip of your own 1/4-mile time before getting too cocky. The car might be able to pull that time, but can you? -Also,
subiedriver44444444444444444444444444444444444, i like that body style much more than the 95+ 90-94 ftw!
I'm not trying to beat up on him, and I'm not doubting him. I am, by nature, skeptical though. If I don't see convincing proof, I'm not going to buy it just yet. Also, I've been just itching to use that JPEG, I kind of had to make the opportunity to use it.
I like making cheap fast cars, thus i own domestic v8 mobiles, but they are cheap when they break, and can only be a couple of different things. oh and the "not welcome" pic, freaking rules, i am posting that everywhere now
