Good point. Lets make it 6:00 pm. That should give us close to 3 hours before it gets dark and it should be much cooler. Pass the word and let everyone know!

[seguroGST]

Got a spot on left side/other side of baseball park. Any one else here early ?

[sek_phok]

Hey guys I misses another meet
I just got into town and kinda of tired of driving. I got caught up with visiting a bunch of museums. My timing was a little off. I hope you guys did take a bunch of pictures of what I missed.

[9!'clipseDOHC]

Success! It was an great turnout and lots of fun! It was awesome seeing the old guys and meeting a whole bunch of new guys (and gals ). At one point when I counted we had 25 DSM's, EVO's, and a 3000GT VR4. Plus there were more cars the came late or left early. I'd say we had a good 50+ people there.

I'd like to think every one for making it out there! We had a few guys that traveled great distances including Tony who drove straight there from a trip to San Antonio and Jim who was on R&R from his deployment in the Middle East.

Here are a few pics that Ray Luna took. I was too busy mingling and trying to grill to even think about snapping pics. If anyone else has pictures please post them!

[H@xtGSX]

I wanted to come out, but I got stuck in Lubbock, and by the time I got back to Carlsbad it was 3:00pm... by the time I got my car ready to drive over and found the place, it would have been dark. Maybe another later this summer...

[talonESturbo]

it was a good cookout

[Alan11]

Is was cool meeting all of you guys.. I'm saving that first pic lol
What happened to all the dsmer's that said they were going? There was a ton of evos.. I was stocked to see soo many cars..

[hollywood_ikr]

I'm trying to decide what direction to take my DSM in at the moment. I was keeping it balanced for street, drag, and autox but I bought an Evo so now the street and autox are covered with that. That frees my DSM up for drag racing but I don't know if I want to strip it (cut out the trunk, lexan, bumper exit exhaust, fuel cell, heater, etc)and keep playing with the 14b or just throw on something bigger (20g, hx35, etc). Either way I will be working on traction. I'd like to swap to a full slick on a 13 inch rim as opposed to my 16" drag radials. I would also like to get some custom made traction bars since there isn't much available for the FWD DSMs.

Nathan,
Just got back into town again. It has been crazy busy past few months, plus with the new baby I have been in Japan alot. I will be here for almost a month this time. Wont go back to Japan until October 1st.
I worked on the Talon some this past weekend. Rebuilt my Teins and changed springs again. Dont know if I like it, sits lower that I like. Which is crazy to me since the car is so lite. Cant imagine how low it would be if the car was full weight.
I am still having the same issue I was before with all cylinders firing consistently. Everything else feels solid. I need to just send in my ECU and eliminate that from the equation. Going to do like you recommended and send it out to Tom and Dave at ECMTuning.
Just hope to get her running right. When its firing properly it feels strong. Plus such a shame, it's just sitting in a corner in the garage collecting dust.

[Javy007dude18]

Well after a year long battle with my car and money it's finally done and running still needs minor adjustments but what a great relief just knowing I can be back on the road with my own dsm again.

I hear you man! Sounds like you have made some good progress though! Like I told you before, if there is any issue with our ECU, Tom and Dave will be able to find it and fix it for you. I have never heard a single complaint on them which is quite rare in this market and I have had only good experiences as well.

I just got back yesterday myself from working out in Arizona. I should be here the rest of the year though.

Here is a picture I thought you would enjoy. I took it a autox 2 weeks ago here in El Paso. This guy just got back from Japan too but he brought himself back a 2000 Evo VI Tommi Makinen edition. Mine is the black VIII in the middle. You really ought to come down for one of these event, you would love it!
