Keep in mind for the third season. If your car is faster/more powerful then what you agreed to initially bring they will send you home. Because of some of the unfair matchups in the past, Pinks will be dynoing cars to ensure a somewhat level playing field.

It is a great car. My 2G talon with evo3 and dsmlink was definitely faster but it was getting old. I was sad to see the talon go but in the end I'm happy with my decision. Btw, no blowoff (pssshh, gets annoying and too much unwanted attention) valve for me, I plan on keeping it to recirc as long...

I like how they used clips from the tekademics videos :rolleyes: . Thanks for posting the vid, it was entertaining. I just thought it was a horrible interpretation of what really is street racing. Btw, I'm not condoning street racing, just not a fan of how the media spins everything.

I have heard of 2 people on the dsmlink forums who are installing the dogboxes. These are the only people I have heard that are (eventually) using dogboxes in there dsms.

The older big16g is rated at 550cfm, not the evo3 b16g. The evo3 16g will flow noticably more then the b16g.

Boosted98gsx, what intercooler are you planning on going with now that your selling you 2-178? It seems like your going for an all out for a street setup. Your choice of mods is very similiar to my own which is why I'm curious. I currently have the supra smic and find myself in a dilema trying...

Damn you guys are critical (good eye though :thumb: ). Both assemblies look basically the same. Other then the dimensions being slightly different. (spearco is thicker). Greg

2-221 top to bottom. You can have the tanks switched to either location.

A different o2 housing can help elimate boost creep.

2-221 top to bottom. A very proven core for dsm's. Low pressue drop, not overly large and readily available. Ideal for 16g turbos.

The 3S-gte from the mr2 is a non interference motor as well. I would definately bring alot of snacks and drinks.

This will fit in your budget also. DG's street setup

You're on the right track as far as choosing the right shocks. Try the ground control coilover setup with hypercoil springs. Be careful when lowering your car too much (2 inches). You don't want to limit your suspension travel too much, otherwise you will be hitting your bumpstops. I'm not too...

Opinions can be generated based upon factual information as well as hearsay. Not all opinions are created equal, some are worth your attention. You just need to know whos opinions are based upon extensive knowledge on the subject. Why criticize people for posting their opinions when they're...

I mentioned using jtmcinders setup (which is track proven) or going the Tein SS route. How is that not understanding your thread? I apologize for giving my opinion on the type of suspension set up I like, I guess that was irrelivant. However, I still made an attempt to reccomend a setup for you...

All the srt colors look hot with the exception of yellow. Which I am glad they ended in 2003.

What you're looking for and what I'm looking for seem to be different things. I would rather pay extra and get something thats track proven rather then limit myself. IMO, the SS's would probably suite you well. You can get them for cheap, they will drop your ride, and other dsmers had success...

Nice srt, it looks good in black.

RRE will make the coaxial hats for a price...

From the coilovers you mentioned, I believe none of them are worth the price tag.

If I was forced to spend that type of money I would be getting jics not those. :thumbdown

IMO, I would go with what jtmcinder recommended. You're getting an all around better setup (cost, performance, service..etc) then that of the true coilovers you mentioned above. If you don't want to piece together a system and you’re on a budget I would go with the tein SS. Ideally, the koni...

In this post Jtoby speaks of the tein flex for a 2g not the SS. The SS rates are 500/340 (500/390 for 1g) as opposed to the flex's 560/340. I found his post to contain a wealth of good information.

I think this is the post you mentioned. He didn't recommend 500/300. It seems that he stresses the gc default rear spring rates are inadequate.

EXACTLY

I didn't start the name calling but I agree I started the arguement. I agree that the entire site is a flamefest like you said. Its a reason why highpsiawd doesn't go on dsm forums. Most other sites don't deal with kids like that. In order for most of the members to understand me I had to act...

Jtoby, in some previous post you mentioned shortening your konis. At what point do you need to shorten the shocks? Is this recommended when you're substantially lowering your dsm? I'm sure I'm treading somewhere I shouldn't but I am curious as to why they need to be shortened. Thanks in advance...

I know its damn ugly... The srt-4, the omni glhs... Chrysler has something against making a decent looking, cheap, front wheel drive tuner car.

the agp kits come with a new exhaust manifold to replace the one piece turbo/exhaust mani..

I'm not giving up the dsm. The srt will be a daily driver w/ a warranty.. There are some factory mods that will maintain your warranty! I think its time to sell my 850 T5 anyway. It doesn't seem like this car would be a pain is the ass to modify. A good amount of people who get srt4's have...

Good point, as long as they're selected no where near me. I would hate for a srt moron to get natually selected by slamming into my car..

It was pretty funny, but then you realize how much time someone spent doing it... Then is just makes you think... Overall, it was good for a laugh..

The srt-4 is a decent car. It's too bad that every 17 year old kid in the country can afford one. Thats all we need, fast cars for undeveloped drivers... New Jersey's insurance rates are all ready too high!

I laugh at most of the posts there too. But I had to point out that kids avatar. I had no idea he would get so heated. I figured I might as well get in a decent arguement on there. I really don't care too much if I get banned..

Whats up with these guys? I'm interested in possibly picking up an srt-4 and wanted to get some more knowledge before I made any commitment. Boy, was I in for a suprise during my visit. Tons of little kids running rampant on that site. I couldn't believe some of the bs these kids talk about. I'm...

The first year you get any car is a mistake. It doesn't make every 1st year car bad, but this is how each auto manufacturer gets feedback on the new car. Most of the time its negative feedback. Customers tend to complain rather then praise. It doesn't make a difference who built the car. The...

That represents maplehood nicely.

Thats goes along without saying for basically any other production car...

Just curious, are different spring rates preferred between fwd and awd cars? It seems to me that many (fwd and awd) cars are choosing similiar spring rates between one another. I understand that we are all trying to accomplish generally the same thing. Less understeer and better handling. Does...

I agree with you about the thickness. I just wanted to explain to some people that many of the spearcos on ebay are knockoffs. Why pay the price for a spearco when you're not actually getting one.

Some of the spearco intercoolers on ebay are fakes. Most spearco intercoolers are 3.5 inches thick, not 3 inches like advertsied on ebay. Just make sure you're paying for the real thing.

What a waste of bandwith, try using google to search.

A pte 50 trim was too big so your recommending a simliar turbo to what shep runs??? That makes absolutely no sense, unless you're being sarcastic then I apologize. A 50 trim will accomplish BlackbirdOfPrey's goals. 50 trims will hit full boost before 4k.

You keep changing the subject to avoid the truth. I have been talking about premium gas not regular. To further prove my point, again, the link provided gives the average of low, mid and high octane gas. The whole reason I even responded to your ridiculous statement was based on your $3.00 a...

My point exactly, I'm not talking about tomorrow or in the near future. You said it was $3.00 a gallon for 93 octane (not 94) in NJ. All I said was I haven't seen that high a price. Don't tell me what premium gas WILL cost in the future. We're talking about the price it is now (TODAY). If you're...

I have never seen $3 a gallon for 93octane in NJ.

Having an awd 300c would diminish the point of keeping the 300c affordable. IMO rwd is all that car needs. Even fully loaded the car is priced extremely well. German engineering at american pricing... :thumb:

It's technology taken from mercedes v12 engines.. The V12 engines where the 1st in mercedes lineup to utilize the "integrated sequential multipoint fuel injection and phased twin-spark ignition" technology. Now it is used by both the v12tt,the supercharged v8, and n/a v8.

Why would you recommend clipping any 16g turbo? It defeats the purpose of keeping the quicker spoolup..

My apologies, I meant to say boost creep not spike. Glad to see you solved the creep without porting. Hope the new boost controller does the trick to keep the spike down. Cograts on the time! Greg
