Okay i have to stop you here. I have seen too much ignorance here...This is nothing personal but please do not give advice if you dont know.1. DO NOT GO TO MAACO if you care about your car. They do not R+I (remove and install) most trim pieces that should be. They tape off everything...

Just purchased 4 new shoes off Tire Rack...thanks for the help!

Awesome...now does anyone know where I can find any of the tires mentioned in 215/50/17 to fit the stockers?Dang...unfortunately here in Maryland I see everything from 0-100. I literally see it all. Hence the need for an all around tire...still feel like I could go a little more...

So I have spent the last hour or so searching the forums about tires and it appears people havent really talk about tires that much since 2008. This will be the first time I have had to purchase tires for my 98 GSX and I would like some advice if you guys could.This is my one and only car...

I am no where near you but it costs around $5-6k for a new color, maybe 1-2k less for a repaint. That is doing all the removals and prep like you are supposed to.

So I have a Magenta Gray Pearl 1998 GSX and I really want to get some good rims to show it off when i drop her.I really am a fan of the Evo IX rims...NON BBS (hate those) like gofer has...powder coated black and all.Any suggestions?

up in Towson...im the only DSM i see that isnt some chick going to school near by...Its almost time to throw some more dough at the GSX

So over the past few weeks my when my car (98 GSX) drops in rpms at idle due to normal up and downs (AC, headlights, ect) sometimes i hear this soft banging/rattle/ping from the belt area.then today during start up, the engine fires and clang clang clang clang clang...i shut it off and see...

I am in Towson...unfortunately i have been crazy busy the last few months. You should see me riding anywhere from Balitmore City up to New Freedom PA.There are a lot of guys out near Aberdeen...hopefully we can get more closer to Bmore/Towson

got any realistic shots? meaning without the technicolor/insane upped contrast?

just realized im on vacation this thursday and all next week....blah cant make the meet. sorry fellas (had new IC piping to show off too, damnit!)

I bought an ACT 2600 and fidanza fly wheel for my 98 GSX, EXTREMEPSI.com has a bundle) and its been great so far. my goals are a little higher than yours so you might be better off with the 2100 PP. how the clutch feels is all about break in. I drove mine like a granny (never going above 2800...

agreed

Im game...we will give it a test run for a few weeks and feel it out.

and expensive!

If you plan it....they will come....you guys just gotta start planning it and going. The first few meets will be small but it will get bigger.You gotta start somewhere.

dang bro...i will be in south Carolina until that same day...dont think ill get back in time. Let me know if you do another one. I can bring a group of cars if you do.

you sold it!?!@?!?@!?@!?@!? please tell me you kept the tail lamps?!@!? or got well over 5 figures for your car..

im thinking it might be hard to get people to commit on the main "going out" nights of the week...could probably get a few good meets here and there but not the consistency that you would see on an "off" night

i was only going to say:Please stop the insanity of this argunmentbut then you had to correct his statement...while improperly making statements yourself....and i hate when people say what you said so...stating "I could care less" means YOU DO CARE and there is a possibilty of you...

as long as the meets are just meets and people are smart about what they do....we shouldnt have a problem....the last white marsh meet, security only came because people were driving in the parking lots like idiots....i.e. one RX-7 spinning tires and a 240sx drifting...

IF anything else....i cant imagine having my car in the shop for THAT LONG for body work...

I would like to go but the car will be in the shop (cousins house with a garage and the tools) fixing my nasty exhaust leaks...maybe next week....

Id love to make it this year for a little T&T action....its nice to see so many MidAtlantic (especially MD DSMs) making their mark on the shootout!I will try and see if some buddies would be willing to role up there...I too would love to caravan with other DSMs...ill report back

Anytime except during football season :)

I would say any day but Wednesday....maybe Tuesday? I have stuff on Monday nights and poker nights on Wednesday. But ill make meets whenever....if you plan it i will come

Not a horrendous turn out last night. It was good to meet some new faces. We should do a regular thing in whitemarsh if everyone is down for it.

Interior looks good...my last DSM was the Barcelona Red with the Tan/Black....always wished i had the black/blackps: that is one massive amount of rescirc tubing! have you tried to turn the BOV around so it faces the intake?

If you dont have enough money to "do it right" the first time...how much money are you gonna have to do it over again?

I should be down with my DSM...hopefully will have my exhaust installed by then....gotta love new parts

dont know the code but its called Barcelona Red Pearl

there any way to get this stuff without jailbraking your iphone? dont wanna do that just for this badass theme...but i may have to

Springfield Arms XD-M 9mm...its nasty within 35 yards...3 inch grouping

I am in the same boat....Im expecting to eventually spend around 900-1200 for a turbo, Lag being my only concern. I would suggest the FP Green because you wouldnt need to push the turbo to its max like the E16G to get to 400 whp but the Green is kinda out dated ive heard and its like $1300 new...

Keep us posted on the photoshoot...it would be nice to get a clean shot of some Bmore DSMs

always down for a meet at WhiteMarsh....just say whendepending on whos 21 and who has a nice ID me and my buddies go to Don Pablos every once in a while for some drinks, we would probably go there after the meet to talk cars if anyone is interested.

Id like a few buckets of that myself

jesus....why such low profiles on the jeep? Looks clean but i imagine the ride is not the softest

Where were yall when i went to TU! We should get a meet up near there going....My 98 GSX and my buddy with his 98 GST are always on the look out for more DSMs in the area.

Well done! Glad to hear you got your stuff back...lets be real...most of the time the police dont have enough time to do their jobs...i mean they are very busy setting speed traps and other worthless law enforcement.

I liked the GReddy Evo II exhaust when i had my 99 GS....it was very deep tone, not raspy; the 97-99 rear bumper hid the bulk of the muffler very well from a standing position aswell.

Check the vacuum line at the wastegate

this idiot doesnt know S about F and just makes assumptions based on a 3 sentence post from a guy he has never met.....and FYI insurance premiums are high because it costs too much to FIX the cars now. I.E. a $2300 infiniti headlamp vs the $13.78 tab repair kit that toyota makes because they...

any shop that is worth it will be able to print you the alignment spec sheet....if they wont print it say you wanna see the computer while your car is on the rack.Yes your car will have messed up camber if you change the ride height. The camber kits are not much money if i recall ($20-30)if...

this is not true, Law enforcement can only ENFORCE legislation that is already passed. If its not written as an illegal component to have or that he has illegally modified current parts then hes fine.I am a Field Appraiser for Auto Damage for an insurance company. In Maryland it is NOT...

No list yet?

the Blitz is a classic look...although over done our car does look better than any honda in it. I hate the fitment of the bomex, dont like any body kit that makes our cars nose stick out flat far enough to pull up a bench and eat lunch on.

to NOT buy the HKS Carbon Ti cat back exhaust for my 2g AWD....and no the reason cannot be $$$$....I love the look, the sound, the performance...but for whatever reason i just cant seem to push myself...

If its not stock I would list the parts you have so we can get an idea if we want anything. Id be interested Hard intercooler pipes but i dont know if you have them.Definatly hope your okay...that is not pretty to look at

thats a great point you make there...im always a little hesitant until i see pictures of people that are willing to take more risk than me. Someone always has to be the guinea pig :hmm:
