I talked to a guy at the shootout this year that said he was gonna buy the car soon. Did your dad decide not to part ways?The code is 070 from Toyota. The brand I used on that car was called U-tech. It's a line by Akzo Nobel.

Ah, my old beast. Glad to see it's still around. Looks like a crazy build beyond anything I'd ever want LOL. Interested to see how it turns out. Looks like quality work for sure!

I will bw rolling into Milan around 2 on Thursday afternoon. Ill be at the Days inn with my evo IX. Hopefully gonna run in the max effort. Ill be at test and tune on friday night! :)

Ill be there. Im staying at the Days Inn as well. Ill be in my blue evo. Hopefully gonna run in the Evo max effort class!

haha, thanks alot man. I STILL miss that car from day to day.

You were asking for it with that title haha. By far, not the cleanest I have seen.Looks like your off to a great start though. Keep up the good work.

Yea, I like to keep a safe tune on it though. I dont wanna worry when I do a pull through all the gears lol. If I keep the s2's, im gonna go e85 with larger injectors. I will push for 700, but that will be my stopping point. Again, I think my turbo will run out of breath with the smaller...

haha, I know, I picked up the intercooler used. :D I like the wing as well as wingless. Thats why I got the spare trunk, so I can switch when I want. :)I like the s2 cams. My tuner and I think I might get 600whp if I bumped to s3's. I have thought about swapping them out. Then again...

I acutally have the stock trunk and wing hanging in my garage still. I picked the trunklid up from a junkyard off of a base model lancer. So I can switch anytime I want lol. Its still wingless for now though. I mainly did it to try and draw less attention to it. The wing just screams "look...

I figured I would kinda fill the dsmtuner crowd in on what I have been playing with. If you remember, I had a super clean pearl white 1g that I had worked on for about 7 years. So, I sold my 1g dsm in October of 2010. The carbon hood flew up on me doing a 3rd gear pull and smashed the hood...

haha, np. Man, look at that terrible negative camber my 1g had hahahaha

No fun after just 7 years for me.

My old 1g.........I had too. :D

Parting it out is the only way to get any money from a dsm. :)I got $10,900 when I parted my 1g out a few years ago.

Its obivous guys. the oil filter goes the opposite direction from what we are all used to seeing. Once that was on the motor, the oil filter would face the frame rail lol. No idea what it came off of though haha.

I didnt even bother to read the thread. All I can say is, if I would have kept the galant vr4 I got a few years ago, you would have seen a set of 17x9 +45 rpf1s on that beast. I would have found a way to make them fit without looking hellaflush.I made them fit on the 1g, I would have made...

Been there done that. That was the last straw for me and my dsm. Started tearing it apart for a partout the next day lol.

An old school 4g63 engine builder named Mitch Russo, dont remember if thats how his last name is or not, built my motor I had in my 1g. He said drive it like I was late to work for the first 500 miles. Dont beat on it, but dont baby it either.

I thought his car was taken to puerto rico or something and raced over there. Thats what Ive always heard.

Ive thought about moving to Florida. Its just hard for me to pack everything up and move and hope to find a job, house, etc lol.

I also had a 93 eclipse, 1.8l for my 1st car, def not rare. I see them around everywhere in the midwest.

####in sick man! I wish I could have run the 255's when I had the wheels. Would have been to poked out on my 1g though. :( Car looks really good!Offset if a +45 on those. They were my old wheels haha.

I have to. :D

Man, im sick of seeing this already lol.Guy got what he deserved, but if I were the owner, I would pull the video offline. Could come back to bite him in the ass.

His "message" is too Hollywood, movie like. Makes me laugh. I cant concentrate on the subject at hand with the video.On the subject though, the country is going to shit, nothing new there.

hahahahahahahahaI give the military permission to take this joker's rights.....or.......just shoot him lol.

haha, I love it! :)Also, just cause Jr/Sr build theme bikes, doesnt mean they couldnt build a "riders" bike that would blow Jesse out of the water anyways.+1 to what was said above. Im not sure Jesse's bike was an ever "riders" bike. I saw him peeking around the headlight as he rode it...

Im sure jr is getting 200k plus from the big companies he builds bikes for. :)Man, your sure making the personal attacks now. :) Also, give Jr time, Im sure they will be making their own wheels too. Or....is designing a wheel and having it cut out on a flowjet not "making your own wheels"...

First off, Jesse is a douche who thinks his shit dont stink and he is the ONLY bike builder in the country. #### that. Jesse can build some good looking bikes, no doubt, but they are all the same high rise handlebars, outlaw style choppers.Ill say it again, he builds bikes for people who...

Jess builds rider bikes, pjd builds show bikes, plain and simple. Show bikes are gonna get more attention. I love how jesse keeps referring that he makes EVERYTHING???? Cause he welded a frame, made some forks and a tank, thats everything???

haha, I dont see him selling anytime soon. The only thing he has done was yank the motor, hes got another running 6 bolt on a stand. And hes got the chassis harness in the bay out. He is on the hunt for a new engine harness and engine bay harness. He doesnt seem to be in too much of a hurry...

They are actually the complete opposite of beefy lol. This car is in my buddy's garage right now. Im not sure on the size but they are skinny lol.

......................................................................................................"crickets chirping"

If you could see that car now. :( Stephen needs to do something with it. Just been sitting with ripped out wiring harnesses for a couple months now. :(Megan coilovers.

Been there, done that. This is what made me part my dsm. lolTop of 3rd, about 98mph, BAM!! Smashed my hood, windsheild, shattered sunroof and dented roof.

Check for the notorious electrical gremlins. Inside the car, in the lower left kick panel, there is some wiring harnesses. There is a grommet that these harnesses come though behind the fender. Some 03's, leak at this grommet, letting water seep into the cabin and it lands directly on these...

Keep them up. You usaully cant miss it lol. Thats not too bad on price. I know around the midwest, Ive seen them cheaper. :DGood luck with it. :)

only other things I can think of is based on mileage, ask if the 60k maint. has been done. Look real hard under the hood to see if things look as if they have been taken apart. if its an 03-04 with higher mileage, listen for tcase whine at like 40-60 mph. Other than that, just common sense I...

I parted my dsm out last year. I have gone back and forth about buyig another one and getting rid of the evo. In the meantime, every good friend of mine that I met because of dsms, are parting theirs out now too. It seems like every week I get a text from a dsm buddy that is asking me what I...

I havnt watched all the webisodes yet. I need too lol.And yea, Curtis.....fml lol. I saw it above and just repeated it in my post. :D

Yea, def a dick move on to Curtis. :) Its getting a little better. You have to think about it. In the first season they were all in shock and a little less "aware" of what was happening. The cast is smarter now, so their wont be quite as much action for awhile. I think the action is gonna...

I watched them all too. :)Your 1g is crazy clean man!!

Yea, its a little off track. I will still tune in every sunday night though. Its a pretty badass show lol.

+1, I concur lol

I didnt want to be the one to say it, but yea, Idk if he knows he is talking to Curt Brown. Im sure he knows his stuff. :D

What the hell is that supposed to mean?? :confused:

He actually just ran a 8.73 too, this is on a 3794 though now.

I have an electric blue evo 9 ssl. I picked it up for 22,500 with 59k on it. Came with hta green, buschur tbe, pte 1000s, exedy twin disc, turboxs fmic, upper and lower icp, GSC S2 cams, map o2 dump, etc. The deals are out there, just have to really look. :DI will agree though, the stock...

Again, dsms def make a better drag car. I think the point of the thread is more about driveability with the larger turbos is more often seen as better on evos than dsms. :)

haha, he seemed a bit hostile, didnt he?? :hmm:
