And for the most part, it won't take the plating off? After I get a real paint job that will last more than four months I would like them to be chrome again.

Sorry to bring back an old thread I have a question about this stuff and didn't feel the need to start a whole thread. I'm kind of thinking of doing this to my car and I was wondering, can it be applied to chrome wheels? The reason is the horrible job Maaco did painting my car gloss black is...

I'm not really contributing here but anyone else think this generation Celica looked 100% better the one that preceded it. I do.

Mine's Dr. Pepper. The name is something I came up with I first bought it. It was this color then:<a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2nukvl" target="_blank"><img src="http://i42.tinypic.com/2nukvl.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>Of course I've repainted it...

My Camaro- 170hp Girlfriend's Geo Storm- 90hpNow those are factory ratings so give or take (most likely take) a little...

Girlfriend's car. 1993 Geo Storm 5-speed. This little bugger gets 30mpg all day long. And it only cost us $900.<a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=16lwow1" target="_blank"><img src="http://i43.tinypic.com/16lwow1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a><a...

It's been a long time since I've posted anything at all so I figured I would drop in and see how much has changed. I see a lot of new faces and some familiar ones as well. Anyways, here's a random, silly picture of me in a costume shop a few months back;<a...

Even though I don't own any kind of DSM anymore, I would most definately buy a black shirt. :rocks:

Wasn't there a made for tv movie about this subject once? I remember it was some tan-colored eighties sedan with a women, a baby, a an older guy in it. I remember liking it.

Cool. Have it take place in London and get Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May to make cameos.

Just as long as the guys who did all those god awful Scary Movies don't do it. They can make any spoof unfunny.I vote for Judge Apatow or whatever his name is. The guy who did The 40 Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up, those movies. I seriously think those are the best comedies being made...

Seth Rogan opposite Ryan Reynolds FTW!Throw in Luis Gusman as the nasty mechanic...Also, the kid whio played McLovin' in Superbad as a ricer "tryin' da come up".

How about the fifth one have an all new cast? All new city, all new cars, a fresh start. And this time around, no more drug cartels, mafia/yakuza, truck hijacking, etc.. Just a strait up street racing story focused on the cars. It can still be silly and over the top like all the previous...

I really liked it. Excellent sequel to the first with a lot of cool little touches. However, there were some things I didn't like.I didn't like how at times it was difficult to see what car was where in the races/chases. The camera work was a little on the choppy side.I thought they...

Eh...I dunno. I might go...

Okay, maybe I'm just slow but who is "Wheatus"?

Nope, just a base model RS. I do want Iroc wheels and a hood so it will look very much like an Iroc minus the IROC-Z stickers on the sides. :rocks:

In due time. However, aside from looking pretty old and worn out in the picture, the 305 that's in it is in tip top shape. Well preserved like the rest of the car. I plan to run it into the ground before I pick up a 350. Which is why, aside from basic stuff that will need to be replaced over...

Hmm...the only evidence from a previous owner I found while detailing the car was a reciept from a Randalls from 1996. It was for a bunch of peppers, onions, hamburger meat, basically what looked like an ingrediants list for chili. Was your dad in the south making chili circa '96? ;)If it...

Somewhat both as it is my only car. I want to do some stuff but performance isn't a priority. I do want to do a few more things like shorties and a high-flow cat but there isn't much than can be done to the old tbi 305 without breaking the bank. So until I can afford an engine swap, I wanna...

It's been a while so I just thought I'd show you guys what Im rolling these days. I've been out of the dsm game for about three months or so now. I sold off the Eclipse and bought this for $3,000. It's a '91 Camaro RS. It has 87,000 miles and runs like a champ. So far all I've done is...

Hey guys just checking in. Odd timing...I was bored and decided to log in and see what everyone's been up to and I just happen to see this thread.I'm still alive. I still have the old Eclipse but it looks much different now. This is it in it's current state;I tried to clean it...

So where would be a good place to buy paint online? Please don't tell me to take the code to a paint shop because around here the yokels working at one would look at me like I'm a retard.

Eh...not a problem for me. I've pretty much decided that it's staying off. Too much effort to buy a three-piece, paint it, then mount.Next "mod" is stock exhaust. I assume I can get one off of eBay or something. Also I'm sure a junk yard has one.Then stock wheels. Or at least some...

I used to think that way. But after years of bitching & going on about how ####ing worthless of a person I am because of the wing I just got fed up with it. I couldn't take it anymore. The death stares, never being able to have an opinion about any car whatsoever because I drove a riced nt...

Already took care of he cracking. Just jb-welded it. Now I plan to sand 'em down a little then rattle can. It will look ghetto but buying a hatch, even one the same color, would be a good penny on it's own & I'm sure the local shops would charge over a $1,000 just to switch them out...

But why would I need downforce on the backend considering it's fwd? I've driven it several times on the highway 70mph+ since the removal & haven't noticed any difference. Maybe Im just unobservent or something...

I am aware that nts did in fact come with the turbo spoiler but it wasn't too common. When most people see the tall one they think "turbo spoiler". Then when they find out it's an nt I'm sure they'll call rice & bi*** & moan like babies & then start whinng about how F&F ruined their lives &...

That looks clean as hell TalonFreak. Good job.And of course I put this in the wrong forum again. Sorry mods.

Just want some opinions. I JB-welded up the holes where the park bench used to be. Now I just need to sand them over & get some paint. I was going to put the low 2g spoiler back but realized that in addition to me not having that little plug I was talking about a little while back I also...

This is the part I'm looking for:This is the spoiler in question:

Everyone I talk to (except you) have been telling em to either go to a junk yard & try to get one off an old Eclipse or go to the dealer. One, at our shitty junk yards there are no Eclipses. None. And going to the dealer aka a Mitsubishi lot? The car has been elasped by two generations. How...

I'm pretty slow about shit like this so bear with me. How exactly do I "weld them up"? They're holes with cracks streaming out of them not in the paint but the body it's self. even though I don't know exactly how to weld it sounds better than drilling.Remember this is't the stock holes...

So there's no way to cheaply stop them from spreadig all over the car? No cheap jb weld or bondojob I coud do myself? Remember it doesn't have to be pretty because once the low 2g spoiler is re-mounted it'll mostly cover up the holes.

Apparently we do in fact an appearance section. I just overlooked it. Anyways for owners that have tooken their low 2g spoiler off...you know those two little plastic plugs on either side in addition to the screws? Where would I find one of those? I'm missing one & you cant just buy those at...

So apparently there's isn't an appearance section anymore. Here's my problem. I recently took my aftermarket Terminator-style wing that everyone bitched so much about back in the day (some of you may remember) off. There are now four penny-sized holes on the middle of the hatch lid. They...

Daily Driver, nothing else. I dont care for it to be set up for "performance" or anything like that. So any ideas on where to get this stuff & do any kits come with both front & rears?ps. lowered 1.5.

Okay I tried searching & didn't find anything helpful. So help me out here. What is the best camber kit for a '97 Eclipse gs auto. I just want my tires flat on the ground...nothing fancy. Also what's the best place to buy it?

21.7

217 now.

I used my fully-tuned Mercedes SLK AMG 56 hat sitting right at 920hp with all the weight-reductions & rollcage. Had no problem at all.

Buy a Mercedes AMG SL 65. Fully mod it. Race & win the one-make Silver Arrow. Take the CLK touring car you win from that & mod what you can (basically just a turbo). Go to the European races & enter the Deutsch Touring Car race. Win. Sell the Mecedes race car you recieve from that from...

Okay, my bad...it's not under professional. It's under European.

Yeah it's 1,000.By the way...how many cars does everyone have so far? Currently I have 84. By this time tomarrow it will have tripled. Ever since I discovered my little Mercedes cheat I've been buying by the buttload. I plan to own every car in the game. Yes, even the Model T. :laugh:

I hate that track with a passion! :thumbdown It's worse than Laguna Seca.

9.9Maybe if I didn't keep clearing my races & racing them again to get price cars to sell I'd be futher in the game. Lord knows I logged the hours on it. It's all I've been doing these past two weeks.

Just keep checking. It'll show up. I never thought I find the Grand Sport I wanted to complete my Vette collection but I just found it an hour ago. :cool:

'90 ZR1 that I still have. I don't use it much anymore but it's great to pull out whenever my friend comes over because I know that car like the back of my hand. Great 2-player fun. :cool:
