What do you charge for a dyno session?

 

[BlkSmk]

Dyno sessions I'm not sure once I know I'll post the grand opening. I think it's in late April

We are working on it.. I've been busy trucking for the last 11 months. And the other 2 working full time and have young families.

Just identifying a bit of a juxtaposition.. subaru being the only category visible on a tuner/retailer(?) site "advertised" on a dsm board, that's all.

We all have life things that get in the way of pursuits and passions. Hope it works out. DSM does not have much of a following in this province, so more focus definitely should be put on the fan favorites if nothing else but for paying the rent.

 

[BlkSmk]

Hey curt yes the business is focused on sti due to personal vehicles but I'm sure once things get situated and with me being a dsm guy. I'll be pushing for more dsm related products. Also if I had others who would voice the dsm requirements. I'm sure Nikola will listen

Of we can get interest/demands we will listen.

Im on here because I just got back into a dsm it's been a few years...

 

[curt-s]

Well we are glad to have you back here on the cold, dark side. The more of these in running condition here, the better (As long as they aren't NA 420A F&F )

Well maiden voyage was a success... got to Portage safe and sound . Yes sound damn rear bearing is top priority on my first paycheck..

Had some interesting encounters on the way here... random guy taking pics of the car driving here. A group of kids 17 or younger trying to race me in town..

Just wait until you get to Winnipeg.. then its subarus and aluminum tow hooks on civics because, apparently, they find themselves in ditches and on boulevards and the stock tow point just ain't flimsy enough.

Lmfao !!! I've been saying that for years haha

 

[BlkSmk]

Anyone got any suggestions for a transmission shop?? Or should I just order a tmz stage 2 transmission?

In a few weeks I'll be at Nikola replacing both rear hubs. Figure it's easier and if I recall the hub and bearings are 1 piece on the 95 talons?

 

[Canadian_CD9A]

I'm doing TMZ since my build is super specific, but G&W Transmissions in Winnipeg does have experience with the DSM transmission, if it's not too far.

 

[BlkSmk]

Thanks. I'll be running a 20g on the old auto figured better safe then sorry since I know it already has a few minor issues .

Tmz might just be the way to go. I'm in no rush as the car sits for most of the time

Btw its plus 21c here in southern texas

 

[davidaus]

Good to hear everyone still has their dsm's and still wrenching. Im probably going to start looking for a motor soon so if anyone has a 6 or 7bolt 4g collecting dust let me put some paper in your pocket Been spending the last year insulating and setting the garage up for our winters. BlkSmk im jealous you must of missed our sht weather this past week.

Yes sir.. I was experiencing plus 27c while everyone suffered the -40c

I'm back in mb. I even went to dig out the car wasn't plugged in but my solar trickle charger 7watts kept the battery up. She fired up on the first try !!

Felt great just to cruise around and raid Walmart.

Rtm is getting a big order here soon. Then a may upgrade session is in order

Looking forward to spring. Looking forward too meeting you folks and hopefully be active in the scene

 

[curt-s]

Whelp. A couple hundred dollars at RockAuto later and it looks like I am staying in the game for another year..

 

[BlkSmk]

July or Aug I hope to have gw transmission rebuild mine..

Ordered a few minor parts from rtm both rear hatch shocks new filters oil and most likely getting link next spring

 

[curt-s]

If you dont have much experience with link and need a local to assist let me know, i have been running it for years.

[BlkSmk]

It looked oem. I got new ones on the way..
Been running 650 miles plus a day.. gw transmission quoted me 3400 for a complete rebuild. So gotta burn alot of miles to fund the car.

Put down my deposit for 20g injectors 255 fuel pump got dsmlink as a package.

Just need to get the transmission done and the front end rear hubs changed. Hope to have this all completed by Aug 15th
