When it comes down to it, like I mentioned I don't mind paying for it. Since my budget is from 10-20K. Since I am also looking at E46's, S3's, Cobra's and S60R's.I already DD a S60, lifted Jeep and cafe'd motorcycle. Any real modifications are not a priority nor will it be modded besides...
I think I've seen it a few times on StanceWorks. Sick stance and fitment is killer.It's Texas...some of the best static dropped trucks and cars come out of southern Texas. The RGV trucks are just nuts.Props. It's your ride.
To an extent...I won't mind paying a higher amount for one. Just finding the right year/model is the issue. Guess I am just trying to replace my old car.leet, what have you been up to? Still in the dsm world?
I have came to a conclusion that there are no more clean, stock, well kept 1GB's or 2GA Talon TSi AWD 5spds in the country. Eclipse's or Laser's are the same way. I may be anal or picky but I am about to give up my search.Anyone else running into this?Yes...I know it's been ages since I...
Both your usernames and cars seem familiar. Not sure if you remember by second DSM, the silver 1GB and then it was flat black with black 2G swirl rims.Then my third DSM. The green 2GA TSi AWD with the 97-99 Front Eclipse Conversion.
I try to stop by a couple times a year. Didn't see many people I remember. Also didn't see any updated OG Threads.So I thought I'd start a new one and see what's everyone is up to. Still in the game, not in the game, moved on etc... I've bought a house, got married, still ride BMX, ride my...
It's just a car. Not the end of the world. Do I miss all my DSM's....of course. Do I feel the need to get another one and sink thousands upon thousands into it...hmmmm No.
Wow, havn't heard from you in years. I check back here every so often. I havn't had another DSM since my 96' TSi AWD if you remember that one.I bought a house, got married, steady career and still ride. I always say I will pick up another DSM, but end up doing different projects.
Any 88-98 GM Full Size Truck/SUV will do great. Or 99 to Present GM Truck/SUV.My old 99' GMC Yukon SLT 2wd towed great. Even being lowered 3/4 on 17's at one time.
First picture looks like it has some orange peel? What was your prep procedures? Paint brand, clear brand? I am an Asst. Body Shop Manager at my shop I work at. If you have any questions regarding paint, I deal with Dupont.
I'm sorry, but when you are already going that dirrection, you cannot correct it. It's going that way, just hold on. How skilled you are behind the wheel wont help.Edit: Read that the car broke a axle. Something like that is hit and miss. It can happen so fast, you cannot react quick...
You REALLY need to rethink you're statement. So many factors come into play in any type of vehicle at the track. Being a NHRA Certified Track Official myself, I know what could or did happen.It's not about the skill of the driver nor the car. I have seen the best of the best of drivers get...
Glad you noticed them. I ride for Midnite. That frame is the very first Moonlite produced, other than the proto. Also rocking the new Tiki Bars.If you want a set of bars, sprockets or frames. Get ahold of Lance on his myspace. He is the owner and a great friend of mine.Random shot of me...
Last weekend I finally got around to cleaning my garage and setting everything up. Been moved into my new house for about 3 months now. I still need to get a compressor.New work benchGot my bike rack upMy box
2Gb Eclipse rims on my old 2Ga TSi AWDThen painted BronzeHard to see in this picture. My old 1Gb Talon ESi w/ 2Ga Talon Rims Man, that was forever ago. Cant remember why the side skirt piece was off:confused:
Different hanger's, usually shorter ones work. Just tell any exhaust shop what you want, and they will do it. I changed my exhaust on my old 2G AWD many times.Gave one exhaust shop alot of businessROFL3" Turbo-Back, Magnaflow MufflerHad the muffler raised later, just sectioned...
I always think about them also, and find time to look at ones for sale etc...I remember when you made that video, years ago. Wow, lol. And I always go through my imageshack to look at my old pictures from almost 4 years ago. Congrats on the house also. It's lots of fun.
Hey John, man it's been ages since I spoke to you last. I myself have been searching for the right DSM for years. But no luck finding the right one, just too picky I guess.With the winter coming up I want another project, like 2 isn't enough right now. Since I sold my Yukon, I am in the...
Thanks, we are planning on extending the kitchen and dinning room. And also adding another garage to the 2-car, so we will have a 3-car, might make the added 3rd 10ft or so for a lift.I have yet to get my compressor, but soon. The inside has to be done first, she is doing all the decorating...
Well it's been a long time since I updated on what's going on. I got married on Sept. 4th, been with Kelley for over 3+ years. We bought our second house already. And getting ready to enter the police academy. Her job is a manager at a Tanning Salon, biggest in the KC Metro Area.Chapel...
Jesus everyone takes everything so serious. I notice more OE HID's on OE cars with MORE glare than aftermarket setups. NNBS Escalade's are terrible for glare.I hate to open any thread on here regarding HID's or anything technical these days, I been a member on here for 6+ years and always...
I remember that car years ago under a different owner. Not much has changed. And still looks amazing. Great purchase. I am still hunting for another one. But I have been way too picky.
You will get better output using the stock housing and HID's.Glare, not a big issue. There REALLY is not much glare suing a stock, or aftermarket Housing. Being they are not a projector.I have HID's on both my trucks. One is lifted now. One has a factory housing, one Aftermarket Clear...
My 97-99 Eclipse Front Bumper was from CertiFit. Worked out fine. And also one headlight was from them too. And it was the same was the other one I got off Ebay. Depo Headlight Assy.My old 96' TSi AWD it went on.
So you do not have to run back and forth several times a month to return it. Simple. Spend the money to get a quality product.People who spend the money, like myself. Use them on a everyday use. As a career, job etc...So they need something that will last a lifetime. Not a lifetime of...
$4,500 from my Matco Dealer. Had $2,000 in trade in's from my old box. The $2,500 is paid off. I own everything, box and tools.Thanks. Once I get my garage finished in my new house I will move it from work to home. Right now I am not turning wrenches. Got promoted to Parts Manager at my shop.
I normally dont let anyone use mine. A few shops I worked in, I'll let a few guys use them. I have been a Automotive Tech for 6 years now. Worked in many dealerships.Borrowing tools is one thing alot of people hate. As do I.My setup. With all the parts to lift my Yukon.I have...
It's been over 5 years since I checked this thread last. Wow.My Flat Black 1Gb is on the first page. Pictures still up on the page.Here is my favorite of that car. And man, was that a long time ago. I think at least 6 years ago.And of course, my old 2g TSi AWD
Panties's ride up my ass. Switched to boxer brief's.I agree with the lifted Full-Size trucks that do not aim their headlights. I owned many lifted trucks, first thing I did was re-aim my headlights to adjust for the height so I can see the road.
