That's why I made a point to say that I appreciate people like you Marty. You and all the others who give this place the personality that it has... that help people and provide quality information to others daily. That's what this place is all about. Always has been.

I check a few other automotive forums from time to time, and there are some that are still VERY active. It's usually a forum that is run by an enthusiast owner, but some of the active ones are owned by larger corporations. Forums are still great places to interact, and are used daily by a huge...

That will certainly be a challenge. But as you've noticed with Rennlist, it still requires the community as a whole to care enough to keep their discussion topics about Porsches (or in our case, DSMs) in the forums to support the forum's efforts. Community size is less important than devotion to...

If anyone wants to PM me some known email addresses they've used, I'll check to see if they're registered with them here. It would be nice to know.

You don't see the big automotive media outlets focus on DSMs too much, so it's cool to see this article on AutoEvolution..."Mike's V8-powered supercar has to prove itself against Ronnie's heavily modified Eagle Talon, which allegedly makes 800 horsepower. Produced for the 1990 through 1994...

If any of you have some good stories or memories of Joe, please reply here and share them. Or share your photos.You gotta be f'n kidding me! @94TSiAWD - if this is truly the end of your journey, the DSM world will be mourning the loss of a great ambassador. Hoping for news of a miracle.

Let's get this posted in the Classifieds please.

I'm posting it now in case I can't do it in the coming days. I'll be checking in sparingly the next few weeks, as me and the family will be out of town. Hope you all have a great time with family, friends, however you're spending the holidays. Reply to this thread with any cool gifts you get for...

I'm really happy with this calendar and I'm glad others are too.Thanks to all those who continue to keep this old ass platform alive.

Be sure your email address is updated in your account. I sent out an email, but I know that a lot of members have outdated email addresses in their account - or their email provider blocks our emails.

Not sure if this coupon code will work, but give it a try when placing an order: NOV2023Looks like it's good through 11/14, if it works.

Hey @idkiliketurbos - is this your car for sale? https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1999-mitsubishi-eclipse-gsx-12/

I believe this is the first calendar we've had with two RWD cars in it. Great photos too. Thanks for submitting. @Kevin Jewer - pretty sure this is your second time making it in now? Maybe 3rd?

Thanks to those who sent in photos, and congrats to the ones who were chosen. Apologies to the few that weren't. I tried to go with a good mix of years and models, vehicle colors, street cars and full race cars, etc. Not all photos sent in were high resolution so I had to make due with what I...

Members whose photos were chosen for the calendar...@bettfootball @Doubleot @greenisacolor @gsxitement @idkiliketurbos @ist dwa @jdxnc @Jrod_gsx @Kevin Jewer @MachinedConcepts @MorrisonFab @Oner @Robert Schele @spoolinposI'll post a new thread with the link to place orders. Thanks to...

Looks like Phil is an admin in one of the bigger FB groups now, and that's where he posts all of his vintage magazine ads and covers. Looks like he's posted several in the last week. I've invited him several times to share that stuff here but I guess some people simply refuse to log in and post...

Sadly, that’s what I see others doing too. They’ll look for info here but will end up jumping on FB to ask their question. Sometimes they’ll find a post or thread here and will reference it on FB and ask their questions over there about the thread - instead of just replying to the thread here...

I just finished going through all the photo submissions and realized we didn't get any GVR-4 submissions. Tag a GVR-4 owner (besides Brett, since he's been in a couple calendars already) and see if can get one to send me some photos. We might not be able to get any that will work but it's worth...

I always thought there was a chance these cars would go up in value at some point, but now that it's happened, it's still crazy to see some of the asking prices.These cars were always attractive due to their relatively cheap power potential with mods. They weren't big performers in stock...

@Wisemen @ModeratorsSo I had an idea I wanted to run by you guys. I was thinking of putting together a program to reward DSMers for doing things like breaking notable timeslip records, winning national championships, and winning notable events/races. Essentially defining a short list of...

We have about 15 members who have submitted photos so far. Enough to make a calendar, but I would love to get a few more sent in before we close up submissions this Sunday. Please do encourage DSMers you know who have great looking/fast cars, especially from the class winners at the recent...

Hey all, I wanted to see if we could get everyone to help gather all the results from the previous Shootout events. If you have an image or a file with the winners from past Shootouts, post it here and we'll update this first post to include them all, in order.2023 Shootout:2022 Shootout...

335s? 😲How is it you don't have a vehicle profile set up for that car here on the site? Would be cool to see all the photos and the build thread for it. Not very many hard core autocrossers around here these days. Certainly not many trying to stuff 335s on their cars.

Please do invite the participants from the Shootout who don't frequent the site as much these days to submit their photos too. I invited Albert Raczynski (@MachinedConcepts) to submit a couple photos. @Kevin Jewer @Slow95gsx @gastroker - tag people on social mediuh and point them here people...

Updated the first post to include the cut off date.

Email your submissions to [email protected] by October 15th, 2023 with your DSMtuners username in the subject.Please follow these instructions:1. Only send me photos of a DSM (or 4G63-powered vehicle) that you own, and you must own the rights to the photo or have the right to grant us...

My oldest just got her license and is driving herself to school this year, and she just got a job. WTF My youngest is 13 and she will probably be driving next year. :)Thanks Dan. That means a lot.I remember wanting a 1997 Camaro SS (LS1) when I was in my early 20's. My wife - actually, she...

Bad ass!

🤨 if you're logged in, you shouldn't see very many ads. We do it that way to incentivize more people to log in. You don't have to be a paid member to dramatically cut down the number of ads that are displayed. You just have to log in. But if you do go for a "supporting" membership, nearly all...

You and your wife are cool people, Justin. Crazy to think that was around 10 years ago! Man time flies.You too man! That was such a fun trip.Hell, we lived right next to Centennial for about 6 years... I'm wondering if we didn't meet and not realize it. 😄

I wanted to take a moment to say thanks to everyone who has contributed to this website to help make it what it is. All those who have answered questions posted by others here on the site, know that you have helped someone out on their DSM journey, and for that I thank you. All those who have...

I always wondered where they got their transmissions for those movies.

Yeah, but the movie car was only a 10 second car, wasn't it? :D

I'm sure a lot of people have already seen this one, but wanted to share it anyway: https://www.ebay.com/itm/126040432776They're asking $59k. 😳

In anticipation of JD's legal team contacting me about the domain name, I changed the domain to https://www.1025Rtractorproblems.comFrom what I've gathered, JD has replaced over a half a dozen engines over this failure that I can find. Maybe even more since not everyone has posted about their...

This thread shows up on page 2 of Google when searching for "John Deere 1025R Problems". :oops: Whoa.

Wonder if it might start showing up in search results at some point... 😶

For some reason, I have a feeling JD might end up being more concerned about the domain name I chose for that website, more-so than doing what's right and trying to help me resolve the issue. Well, if they are, then I'll document that too. :)

The studs in the valve cover are OEM on John Deere tractors from like 2015 through 2018 or something like that. They revised the design after they started offering a retrofit kit when too many owners complained of the air filter bracket rattling loose, and some engine failures due to cracked...

If it's not much trouble, that would be awesome Marty. I really doubt JD will offer to help, but you know, it's really about the principle of it all. This situation has put our family in a really bad spot. It rubs me the wrong way knowing that they could have addressed this and didn't.

Anyone in here have any connections at John Deere? I'm dealing with an engine failure on a sub-200 hour John Deere 1025R sub-compact tractor due to what my tractor mechanic confirmed is a design flaw. Had nothing to do with misuse or neglect. I've found many other 1025R owners who have dealt...

No, Mitsu isn't planning on bringing it back, but an independent designer came up with this take on what one could look like:https://www.carscoops.com/2023/07/mitsubishi-eclipse-returns-from-the-dead-as-an-independent-design-study/

I see where the wheels came from.

The good old days. I remember having to code that homepage. And building out that Parts Catalog, which was usually obsolete before I finished saving edits. Was fun though.

I saw some replies from him in this thread back in 2015 but nothing since. I reached out to him on FB. We'll see if he logs in and posts.

I wish we could get Phil Beers back in here (@Phil1320). I know he has a shit ton of memorabilia that I've seen him post over on FecesBook in recent years that he could post here too, probably pages of it. There's no way I could find all of that stuff he posted on FB now though, given the nature...

Good question. I wonder if @DSPORT or @david buschur has anything they can share...

Thought it would be worth mentioning in this thread that since it was posted, there is now a built-in Android app available to make mobile browsing and participation a little easier. And before long, iPhone users will FINALLY be able to enable push notifications with the new iOS update. Even...

Done, but if they use a proxy, they can get around that.

Taken care of.
