Nominate a Featured Member for the Homepage

Ludachris · 02-19-2008, 05:43 PM

First things first, this thread is not for discussions or questions. If you have a question please ask it in the Site Feedback forum in a new thread or an existing relevant thread. This thread is for suggesting a member to be featured on our homepage. We will delete all replies that are not a suggestion.

Now, in order to suggest a member to be featured you must do so using the following format. You can suggest yourself or other members. But you must make sure the member in question meets the following requirements:

- The member should be doing something (or have done something) noteworthy, like; run a really fast 1/4 mile time with a certain set up, competing in a racing series, won a championship of some kind, was recognized in a magazine, was the first to try something different and was successful, has contributed in some substantial way to the DSM community, or has done something else that is worth recognizing. We don't want to just feature any member with a nice looking car. There should be some substance to why they're being featured.

- They must be a member of the site. If they aren't you should ask them to register. If John Shepherd can take the time to register an account here there's no reason why someone else can't. There will be no emphasis on post count or registration date. But we would rather feature someone who is active on our site if possible.

- They must have at least 3 photos of their car in the gallery. People want to see photos of the car. If they don't have gallery photos you'll need to ask them to upload some.

- Their profile should be filled out with their mod list. If it's not you should request that they do so before suggesting them.

Once the member meets these requirements, you can post a reply to this thread with the following information:

1. The Member's name

2. A link to the member's profile

3. A short summary as to why you think they should be featured - include something that they've accomplished, something notable they're doing, or some way they've contributed to the betterment of the DSM community.

That's it! Suggest someone!

Here's the archive for the past featured members:

I do not want to sound arrogant but i want to suggest myself. I have a 1997 Mitsubishi RS-T that i have been working on for quiet some time now. I have done all the work out of my own pocket and have tried to do a lot the work myself. I have an audio sponsorship named Trafik Jamz who helped me out with the audio and also Tintmasters Motorsports here in fargo,nd who have helped me out a ton in the designing and execution of my car...they have done the work to my car that I do not have to knowledge to do. I feel my eclipse is unique because of the clean look I have went for, this eclipse is not made to get all flashy with graphics and big wings...to each his own i have respect for that just not my thing. Anyways, i feel I have chosen the elite parts out there for my car(Bomex/Tein/Carbing/Rays) just to name a few and my car has done very well at the shows in my region but now this upcoming season i am taking the car to the national level in hopes for NCCA Best Mitsubishi, a main contributor to my car has been this forum I have several times asked for advice and have recieved information that I have used so i would love to take home the award and dedicate it to this board for all the support!

Tony Niemczyk - Got Grip

View Profile: Got Grip - DSMtuners.com

For the past three years he has been sponsored by Extreme PSI and competed in the Nopi Drag series, taking 2nd place in points in 2007 and 2008. Even though Nopi may not be around anymore, he still has plans to compete in a series this upcoming race season. The car is down for the winter with a custom aluminum rod motor in the works. I feel that he deserves to be a featured member as he is one of few DSM'ers that is always out there racing an extremely clean car that he built and tuned himself. Currently, him and his Father are building a 4G63 dragster that you can learn more about here: Welcome to Turbo4.com

His current fastest time is: 9.993 @ 140.590

This season, on Kumho all season tires he went: 10.06 @ 144 !

I origionally bought my 97 GSX with plans for a stock build 6 bolt swap and an evo316g. After long nights on the web reading about everything I could about DSMs my modest plan turned into a fully built 2.3 stroker T4 turbo'd 500hp/11second daily driver. I didn't have the money to make my dream happen but Andre at Pina took me on at his shop for work in exchange for parts/service where I spent long nights (and I mean LONG) for near a year making my ambitions a reality. Currently I've ran 11.3@126 at Pacific Raceway in Washington on pump gas and street tires. Future goals are a full race tune on C16 at 40+psi boost and hoping to break the 700whp marker and dip into low 10s and just maybe kiss some high 9s. I intend on regular participation in the season this year since last year my car was only finished in time for the last track day of the season.

Highbooost · 07-25-2009, 02:17 PM

I suggest Highboost, the thread "who is dr turbo" should give enough back ground info as to why, the mods will be revealed through out the thread. Let me know what ya think, Who is Dr Turbo?

Later Dr Turbo

We have watched Paul's car change so very much over the last few years from a GST to a GSX to now a rare compound turbo set up. I believe he has a one of a kind car now that deserves a spot on the front page.

It certainly deserves recognition. Not many people are able to look at the common practice and then go the complete other way, and end up with a much better solution.

He really does have a unique DSM.

Plus 8. Really looking forward to seeing this car get tuned and see some track numbers. Glad it didn't burn up in the fire. Shew!!!

Lumix315 · 07-29-2009, 11:21 PM

+9!! Paul Volk's car is, truely, a perfect example of a hand-crafted piece of artwork. It's a beautiful machine! I aspire to have his level of knowledge, imagination, and raw fabrication skills.

Put this man on the FRONT PAGE!
