Hey my names Aaron, i'm 17 years old...18 in july... i really dislike people in my town who want to race me in their "Honda Civic" with a body kit and a wing. PSSST The wing makes it faster.. especially when they pipe me with their cold air intake and little 2 inch "fart can" so i look down the road for a cop and then if there is...i say to the other driver LIGHT EM UP! then sit back and watch the light show

My name is Michael####inGraham and I administer my 96 fwd turbo with pride going on 4 yrs. This year it is tempting to blow it self up already, due to a sticking throttle cable issue, thankfully castrol syntec goes the extra mile giving my engine tlc. I love my DSM but it was used when I got it, with upgrades to the fuel and a typical 16g. I knew what to expect in the past, but as its age collects I cant help but feel uncertain that it will last me.

I'm Tom from NY, I've been lurking the boards for a while, mainly picking up parts and advice for my 90 Laser RS Turbo that I'm making into a Grassroots Challenge car. I'm 21 a full time mechanic, I attended WyoTech for Chassis Fabrication/HiPo Engines, I'm not new to cars I've had near 20 in 5 years from a Integra LS with a 1.8 to a 750il with a v12. Currently I own a 97 Neon with the basic's, a 88 Camaro that I swaped a 350 into and a 90 Laser.

Hey, my name is Charlie. I am a heavy equipment mechanic in the Air Force currently in Iraq. I currently own a 2000 VW GTI 1.8t. I love the car, but when I looked at the cost of modding it vs. the gains to expect I decided against anything drastic. I still need speed, though so I am looking to get a 1g gsx or tsi when I get back to the states. I love the technical slant of this site and have learned a lot about dsm's so far. thanks.

Hello there. New to the site, but not new to the "internet forum" atmosphere. I am coming from www.newcelica.org. I am the racing mod over there but I have since moved on from my Celica and gone the cheaper route. I must say you guys have a great site and nice set up.

I just bought, (actually traded my 1991 Honda Civic DX Hatch for it), a 1990 Eagle Talon N/T 5M. 119k Miles. Pretty much stock aside from a crappy filter attached to the stock box and a muffler welded to the stock exhaust. Also seems to have some type of header. The owner said HE bought it that way so he doesnt know what kind of header it is either.

Runs great as far as I can tell and has some 18" Konigs.

I plan on going strictly N/A and hopefully can find all I need here.

Thanks.

- Manny

Hey guys, my name is Andy. I'm 18 years old and I'm currently attending college in Wilmore, KY. I've been working on DSM's a couple years now and have enjoyed the ride so far. I'm happy to say I've found my way to DSMtuners, and I look forward to learning from and contributing to this great site. See you all on the boards...

Hey everyone my name is Shane and I recently purchased a '95 Eagle Talon TSi AWD. I also own a LS (B18) swapped Honda CRX. I have a ton of experience with N/A but this is my first time working with turbos. I still have alot to learn but I am already making my way up there. The Talon will start being modified soon so I will be seeking help as well as helping when I can. See everyone soon in the forums,
Peace

Hi, I'm Mark. I just bought a 1996 Talon TSI AWD that I found on the classifieds here. I absoutley love the car, it is very clean and only has 64,000 miles on it. So far it has just sat in my garage because I can't afford to insure it until I sell my Jeep.
