Makes sense. They are to the Mustang crowd what DSS was to the DSM crowd, maybe on a somewhat larger scale obviously. But it seems like a natural fit for you.
Maximum Motorsports right? Good stuff.Hope you get the DSMs going again. You’ll probably end up having to make some parts with more and more now unavailable, so that’ll be the catalyst for bringing DSS back. :)
Better 15 years late than never, Mike. Good to hear you're still around. The DSM world is a bit different than it was in 2005, but people still appear to be spending money on the cars. Far fewer parts available for them, but far fewer of them on the road too. We still have a solid group of...
You don't see the big automotive media outlets focus on DSMs too much, so it's cool to see this article on AutoEvolution..."Mike's V8-powered supercar has to prove itself against Ronnie's heavily modified Eagle Talon, which allegedly makes 800 horsepower. Produced for the 1990 through 1994...
If any of you have some good stories or memories of Joe, please reply here and share them. Or share your photos.You gotta be f'n kidding me! @94TSiAWD - if this is truly the end of your journey, the DSM world will be mourning the loss of a great ambassador. Hoping for news of a miracle.
In communities like this, it becomes an issue of whether or not the lack of decorum and the abrasiveness is pushing people away or deterring them from participating and contributing in a meaningful way.Some people have this idea that the tough love atmosphere is useful - it pushes people to...
I'm posting it now in case I can't do it in the coming days. I'll be checking in sparingly the next few weeks, as me and the family will be out of town. Hope you all have a great time with family, friends, however you're spending the holidays. Reply to this thread with any cool gifts you get for...
The problem is that the only real option is the Evo transmission, which as you probably are aware, has the engine and transmission mounted in the reverse orientation compared to a DSM (transmission is on the wrong side). If there were a way to make it work, I would imagine someone would have...
Welcome Zac... here are a bunch of good pages to read through which will have answers to your questions:
https://www.dsmtuners.com/pages/resources/Take note of the Maintenance Guide on that page, but please do read through all the pages.
Be sure your email address is updated in your account. I sent out an email, but I know that a lot of members have outdated email addresses in their account - or their email provider blocks our emails.
I believe this is the first calendar we've had with two RWD cars in it. Great photos too. Thanks for submitting. @Kevin Jewer - pretty sure this is your second time making it in now? Maybe 3rd?
Thanks to those who sent in photos, and congrats to the ones who were chosen. Apologies to the few that weren't. I tried to go with a good mix of years and models, vehicle colors, street cars and full race cars, etc. Not all photos sent in were high resolution so I had to make due with what I...

Looks like Phil is an admin in one of the bigger FB groups now, and that's where he posts all of his vintage magazine ads and covers. Looks like he's posted several in the last week. I've invited him several times to share that stuff here but I guess some people simply refuse to log in and post...
Sadly, that’s what I see others doing too. They’ll look for info here but will end up jumping on FB to ask their question. Sometimes they’ll find a post or thread here and will reference it on FB and ask their questions over there about the thread - instead of just replying to the thread here...
I just finished going through all the photo submissions and realized we didn't get any GVR-4 submissions. Tag a GVR-4 owner (besides Brett, since he's been in a couple calendars already) and see if can get one to send me some photos. We might not be able to get any that will work but it's worth...
I know there's a video with Jay Leno that shows how it works, but it might make sense to have a simple graphic that illustrates how to use it on your website. I definitely need to get one or two of these for the garage. Maybe even one for the shed too. Way easier to use than a fire extinguisher.
I always thought there was a chance these cars would go up in value at some point, but now that it's happened, it's still crazy to see some of the asking prices.These cars were always attractive due to their relatively cheap power potential with mods. They weren't big performers in stock...
It looks like any other Chinese turbo kit out there these days. At that price, I'm not sure how reliable you can expect it to really be. Most quality turbos, even smaller sized ones, from reputable companies aren't that cheap all by themselves.Assuming this turbo doesn't fail shortly after...
@Wisemen @ModeratorsSo I had an idea I wanted to run by you guys. I was thinking of putting together a program to reward DSMers for doing things like breaking notable timeslip records, winning national championships, and winning notable events/races. Essentially defining a short list of...
We have about 15 members who have submitted photos so far. Enough to make a calendar, but I would love to get a few more sent in before we close up submissions this Sunday. Please do encourage DSMers you know who have great looking/fast cars, especially from the class winners at the recent...
Hey all, I wanted to see if we could get everyone to help gather all the results from the previous Shootout events. If you have an image or a file with the winners from past Shootouts, post it here and we'll update this first post to include them all, in order.2023 Shootout:2022 Shootout...
Alright, we need to get all of the class winners from the SO in here replying so we can see their usernames!If you're friends with them on social mediuh, tag them and point them here. You can share the following link...
I don't use InstaGrime much to be honest. Hopefully you'll be able to post some content here too when you have some time. I know it's not easy sharing what you're doing on multiple platforms, but for those who love to follow builds and get information beyond just photos, this place chronicles...
335s? 😲How is it you don't have a vehicle profile set up for that car here on the site? Would be cool to see all the photos and the build thread for it. Not very many hard core autocrossers around here these days. Certainly not many trying to stuff 335s on their cars.
Oh man, if only we were able to have this build thread posted years ago, it would have been cool AF to follow the progress. Better late than never Albert. Welcome, and thanks for sharing it here, and for the calendar photo submission.
Please do invite the participants from the Shootout who don't frequent the site as much these days to submit their photos too. I invited Albert Raczynski (@MachinedConcepts) to submit a couple photos. @Kevin Jewer @Slow95gsx @gastroker - tag people on social mediuh and point them here people...
Seeing all the bad ass cars from the Shootout made me want to create a 2024 calendar. I would love to showcase some of the coolest DSMs from the event. If those DSMers aren't members here, or maybe just aren't active anymore, please do invite them over to submit their cars. Ideally, they would...
