McLaren P1 for thrills, 69 Camaro, Tesla P85d for my daily, 2016 Raptor to tow my boat. And a boat so I can use the Raptor.I didn't sell the GSX for enough to buy any of these.

Those skirts came out fantastic!

It's nearly impossible to keep exhaust tips clean. I've resorted to using steel wool or a scotch-brite pad and going with the "brushed metal" look. I actually prefer it now.

Nice painting! Wish I had an interesting hobby to share.

And I had just got rid of both my DSMs. :( I should be in for the March meet. :D

Dented fender? Hmm... Did they at least replace the passenger side rear lower control arm? I hope so, it was rusted in half. Here's my photobucket of the car if you're interested.96_Talon pictures by ehues - PhotobucketAnd just so you know what you have, below is the parts list from...

Yep... Guarantee it's my old car then. Dude I sold it to was a mute but his brother said he worked at a body shop and was going to fix that before driving it. Guess that didn't happen.I loved the car, it ran great and was very reliable. I put a lot of maintenance into it when I got it...

Reason I ask is you're local and it looks like my old car...

Is this a black 96 Talon automatic?

Damn! I have a brand new one I have been wanting to try out. Guess I won't expect too much.

Congrats again Dave! I'm glad I was there to see it run.

Welcome!

Yes, if they look like that or my Talon I posted. That is what I did.

That is not bolt-on. That is the body of the car. Absolutely not the subframe.Look at the seam where the car gets jacked up from, pretty soon the jack will go through, hopefully the OP is not underneath when this happens. Please have something under the wheels and not just the body when...

Because it was put together with assembly lube. And by the time you put the front of the motor back together after priming it'll probably be a couple hours anyway. It's not like you're working on an old SBC. Like already stated, dump some oil down the feed tube of the turbo and crank the...

Wow, $330 seems like a lot for that. You could probably buy a new complete strut tower for that.Anyways, sell the car asap! You are wasting your money. That rocker and suspension pickups are in horrible shape. And to me, are a bigger issue than that strut tower rust. Don't even take...

I wouldn't prime it.

Nice car! 1 question, does it have the same crap transmission that everyone with the new 5.0 is complaining about?

It's PRP... Honestly, I don't think people even know the track is there, and I live 20 minutes away. Some sort of advertisement or concern would help. But to just give up... I thought the place has a new owner and was going to be a better venue. Guess not.

I'm almost 100% sure there are not OEM replacement bushing.If you search around here, you should find vendors who offer aftermarket solid or poly replacement bushings. At least for AWD cars, not sure if there is a difference for the FWDs.

5.8 in Virginia somewhere.

So pissed I'm not there! I will be at the 20th. Have fun everyone.

Nice RX-8! I test drove one years ago and loved the way it handled.What's your favorite Mazda forum? I just got a new Mazdaspeed3 and signed up to about 5 forums, but haven't looked around on them too much.

I'd say you're ready. As long as maintenance is up to date.MBCs do make a difference. For example, my TurboXS mbc would allow my car to spike to 25 psi on my T25 when I had it set to 17 psi. It did this randomly when it was cold outside. When I upgraded to my 16g I tried to turn up the...

Cool! Looks good. I'll stop in when I'm in Fredericksburg to visit my cousins.

Welcome! Looks like a nice VR-4.

I don't think a vinyl sticker is what this thread had in mind.

Haha!

I have a shelf full of this.SwissvaxOk, maybe not. I generally use Meguire's, but I'm thinking about picking up some Zaino, P21, or Pinnacle for the new car.

It is neither a V6 or twin turbo. :tease:

Tire plug kit

I feel for you man. I had to help my dad get his situated a while ago. Somebody was using his account to buy tons of Playstation games online. I was fuming :mad:

Not in the DSM, but I had a Corvette at one time that I got to 265. Scary!DSM never went above 206.

Brisket meat, car meat... as long as there's meat.

Etay, when is the next one? I'm running out of leftovers. LOL

Only somewhat related, but has anyone ever tried one of those things you plug into the cigarette lighter with a 9v battery and see if the tune is saved after reconnecting the battery?That would be a handy thing to have for V2 users if it works.

GOODBall joint separator. Just start using this a year or so ago, I wouldn't go without it now.Go-through socket set. Works great in place of deep well sockets. They also seem strong because they don't use a little 1/4 or 3/8 drive.

GOOD6" random orbital air sander. I used this for about 10 hours over 2 days without ever giving it much of a break. It worked awesome.Harbor Freight also carries those SS zip ties. They are super cheap and are great for things like dust boots and holding exhaust wrap.

I've used Valvoline fluid before without any issues. I use ATE Super Blue now. And they even have a clear Super Blue so you alternate between flushes so you know all old fluid has been removed.And if dust is entering the system you have major problems! It would have to get out of your...

Is that condenser really dirty? It looks like it in the pic. If so, I would soak it down with a can of Gunk.

I got 15 minutes into last nights US Top Gear before I turned it off. Even worse than last season. And it's now got that generic US reality TV show feel from the way it's edited.I dowloaded the UK version from Finalgear last night, I'll be watching it when I get home.

Sweet1 tHIS SHIT IS ON!!!

No turning back now.So Justin, are you going to make it to the pool for a while? When do you work until?

haha, yeah 3 at least.I pm'ed your brother.

Post #4http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/pittsburgh-area-dsm-forum/408046-meet-cookout-im-not-sure-either.htmlApparently Eric wanted to get everything. But it looks like a side dish of some sort would be good.

My life without a DSM, consists of me pretending I still have one.I'm still logged on to dsmtuners, I'm still a mod, and I'm still going to a DSM meet tomorrow. :D

Hell YES!!! Get that shit ready for Saturday morning.

Eric, come out.

I am game. And I just got a case of Miller Lite today, but I'll grab another.

Is the brisket just slow cooked, or does it have sit in a rub and/or dry age in the fridge a few days?I have hickory chips here too. I like to smoke ribs for a few hours. and Christi, you should have had my flank steak at the shootout last year. I had it marinating all weekend but Dave...
