Ok so springs almost here its been on and off weather all of this so called winter. I've been wondering if anyone in michigan\ohio\indiana wanna start making some plans to get together. Whether its in detroit for a meet\swap\show or at a strip for some runs. Or both. Maybe meet somewhere and drive out to the strip. Leave your thoughts and lets try to get this organized ahead of time.
 
Hey, i just bought a 95 awd talon that runs pretty solid. Some mods already. Im gonna dump a bunch of money in the car just kinda cruising for do's and dont's of upgrading my turbo. Any advice is appreciated
 
Man theres a ton to read about in here and on DSMtalk.com, vfaq.com. I'ld have to say anything you could ever think of is on one of the those 2 or this one. Turbo upgrades are going to depend on the other mods done. Exhaust and fuel system number one.
 
Ok awesome that makes uh 2 LOL. I know there's more people around I just seen a 2g talon that wasn't stock the other day by my house but other than that they seem to be few around me
 
i just got my car late last year and i am ready to get her out there and im sure i can get my brother to tag along seens how hes got a talon project goin on right now. so set a time and place and ill see all of u guys there.. :D
 
I'm more than willing to do some runs with you all. Once this project is done, it's nothing but a time and place for me.
 
I would'nt mind getting together with other DSM owners on here. My car is completely stock but i'm doing the basics right now- plugs,wires,timing and balance shaft belts,waterpump,etc. it runs great. I was on I-275 the other day from Novi area and just as i got on there i seen a early mustang gt with cobra emblems on it jump on it when we where almost side by side. I jumped on it as well(could'nt resist) and got ahead of me but not by much. I started to catch him around 115-120mph-then i passed him at 135mph. I think he just slowed down. If it was a real early 2002-2003 cobra then he would have just smoked me like i was standing still. I know what they run as i've built too many of them. Either way, i had fun and know one got a ticket and i was really suprised that this car reached that speed..
Cant wait to build it up just a bit. Looking to get into the 13's with it.

Niles 90 gsx overhaul.
Niles 90 gsx overhaul. this is what's keeping me off the road right now. If you ran with a Mustang, I'm ready to see what mine will do to one when finished.
 
well sweet the count is up to 7. hopefully we can do something in a couple weeks. theres supposed to be a cold front coming through soon and were gonna get snow so it looks like we got some time. every one leave some updates every now and then and when it looks like its gonna clear up we can all figure out a location and everything.
 
Finally got my rods back. Car should be on the road in a week or less. Let's get ready to eat some road, people.
 
Finding those rear subframe bushings were a total clusterfk. A member here had them, so the long block should be together and the subframe assembled. Maybe we should start looking for good places to meet, and good times to cruise.
 
ok guys hit me up at 586-209-8682 you can call or text whatever. once we find out where everyones coming from we can try to find a good center point. sunday will probably be best for everyone i imagine. and maybe we can find a strip to start it off at theres quite a few around ive noticed. even if its a 1\8. im actually waiting for an amended tax return thats gonna be a nice chunk of change. ild like to meet after that, LOL. really dont wanna show up with a half riced\rigged car, LOL. i havent even wot this car for more than one shift hehe.
so hit me up guys ill start looking around for strips and costs and times ill post some things in the next couple days.
Oh imma start another post or do it here, include a name and what city. that wil be really helpful
thx,
tim
 
So, tentatively, Speed Industry in Troy is hosting a DynoDay on march 31st and April 14th I believe for $75 bucks. I'm probably gonna go if anyone else is thinking of doing it. I want to shoot for the 31st, ill keep you guys posted on my confirmed date.
 
That place is really close to me but i dont know if the car is gonna be ready for a dyno run by the 31st, hopefully the april date. but i was gonna try to get a hold of them and see if we got a few people together we could get a group discount. how much do they normally charge? by hour or pulls?
 
They normally charge 150/175 per hour. This is kinda like a customer appreciation thing I believe. You should check their site, but I was thinning even if everyone didn't pull, we could still meet up and hang for a few that day.
 
yea ill meet you up there if anything. i seen on the site they have club\forum days at a discount rate, minimum of 10 cars prepaid. i know personally i have a have months before im ready for the dyno, ild go now but dont think theyld let me LOL. you doing the dyno or having it tuned too? let me know when your going and ill be up there. or shoot me a text.
 
I should be tuned pretty well before getting there. My mechanic might ride with me just to see what all this money and work has given us. I'm really only looking for rough numbers here, nothing crazy LOL. But I'll shoot you a text before I roll that way.
 
Ok well checked milans website, starting april 18th, every wednesday starting at 4pm they have test and tune. so im thinking about trying to make it out there opening day. kind of wanna get a base line with the upgrades ill ahve then. and imma at least make the apr 14th dyno if it is the 14th.
Anyone else up for meeting up? nile i know weve already talked about meeting up. anyone else up for a early meet. i was thinking of something bigger later around may or june when its gonna be really nice.
but like i said ild like to get some early numbers HP\TQ 1\8-1\4mile. give me something to improve on and what goes on my next to do list.
again 586-209-8682 let me know whats up.
