Knoxville Dsm Meet 09'

[gagegregory]

no I dont like hondas or 420a's or the idiots that hang out at clinton hwy , so your welcome to partake in hangin out with those ###s if you like.. Im sure those jdm light up windshield washer sprayers would fit right in out there.... And were actually goin to the gap to drive our cars not sit around and bench race..

 

[mysticstylez]

It's okay don't worry bout it. I'm going this Saturday with three others to the gap. Do you wanna go? That is if you can keep up.

 

[gagegregory]

were tryin to get dan's ( 92 talon tsi) clutch workin tomorrow but ya, were always down. Hate to burst your bubble but they are callin for rain till monday... And its not about keeping up , if you have ever been to the gap you know how it is , you get behind pokey ass people and have to watch out for the state trooper boys . We run it and parkway alot and its not about haulin ass , its driving skills and balls. But ya , well hook up when we get a dry day.

 

[mysticstylez]

Forgot about the rain. If it's gonna rain Saturday then that might be a good day to pull in the garage and get a little bit of work done.

 

[gagegregory]

bought me yet another dsm last night . 91 plymouth laser rs non-turbo auto..... ... oh well , its got a strong ass motor and I only gave $300 bucks for it ..

 

[mysticstylez]

Make a nice DD. Are you gonna fix it up and drive it?

 

[jdm_t24]

Do you guys only meet on Saturday nights? cause i usually get off of work around like 10:30 in pigeon forge so just seeing.....

 

[92GSXtacy]

Yea, the Clinton Highway thing is just a Saturday night thing I believe. If we get enough cars together we were looking at having a Gap meet or track day at 411, don't know how that will work out though.

 

[mysticstylez]

yeah we need to all get together soon. i dont care what we do. lets do it before it gets cold.

 

[92GSXtacy]

! Cold=better for the turbo cars! Yay!

 

[jdm_t24]

First we need to get our cars running right chris....well i need MINE running right, and you need yours running! BUT i'm totally down for a dragon run!

 

[92GSXtacy]

Lol yeah, with my motor still missing a few key parts it'd be hard for me to do anything in the GSX. Hopefully UPS comes through for me very soon, I'm getting tired of waiting. The VR4 is close though...

 

[mysticstylez]

Well, my tensioner broke so I'm doing a timing belt change. Pullys, tensioner, cam seals, crank seals, water pump, the works.

 

[jdm_t24]

Yea.. i need a replacement turbo, so if anyone has a good working 14b for sale! HIT ME UP!!

 

[92GSXtacy]

Well, my tensioner broke so I'm doing a timing belt change. Pullys, tensioner, cam seals, crank seals, water pump, the works.

Sucks. That's what I'm doing right now also though ! Just waiting for new idler and tensioner pulleys...

 

[mysticstylez]

I'm looking at buying a 90 RS Laser turbo, 5-speed with rebuilt engine and a new 16g turbo. The guy will take $900 cash for it. He claims it is a good running car but you know how that goes. I'm going to look at it next week. I don't know a whole lot about the 1g's. What are your thoughts on this car?

 

[92GSXtacy]

Well if it's it decent shape mechanically that's an alright price. Whether it's up to par is based on your standards, so make sure you check it out thoroughly first. Turbo cars are fun but only when you take care of them !

Oh and btw...AWD>FWD...just saying.

 

[mysticstylez]

It has rust on the driver side fender and needs some new hoses. Looks pretty decent. He says $800 bucks now. I think I will get it. Yeah I love awd, I've owned a 90 gsx in the past. I loved that car and always wanted it back. I could settle for fwd for $800.

 

[92GSXtacy]

Rust sucks. I'd fix that ASAP if it's fixable, if it's not....I wouldn't buy it.

 

[mysticstylez]

I'd say I could replace the fender and that would take care of the rust. I'll be sure to check everywhere else.

 

[92GSXtacy]

Cool. Let us know how it goes!

 

[mysticstylez]

I decided against buying it. It was leaking oil from what looked to the rear main seal. Timing belt was rubbing on something. I had a bad feeling about this one.

 

[gagegregory]

Whos got the laser for sale? I always lookin for another dsm...hahah

 

[mysticstylez]

it's on knoxville craigslist. search for "laser". he said he's take 800 cash. i think it actually just needs a head gasket.

 

[92 GSX]

Hello everyone, I have owned DSM's for about 7 years now. I currently drive a 92 GSX and have a 94 GS parts car.

I would love to get together for a meet, it's been a while since I was able to run with other DSM's.
Hope to see all of you soon.
