they are reliable though. my friend nemo ran a 13 sec quarter mile with a melted piston. :D you can be sure he drove it home too.

personally i kinda think it is healthy to dabble with a few different cars and feel out their differences.

it really is your call, though. but you are asking mitsu entusiasts on a mitsu forum if you should rather get a nissan :p

i didnt say they werent reliable, they are. im just saying its going to be expensive to work on unlike a DSM thats all. if i was given a choice between a 99 GSX or a 95 300zx TT, id go with the TT because of the power and reliability off the bat. put some nice sticky tires in the back and you will have a pretty beast, stock drag car. and damn, 13 secs on a melted piston OMG thats crazy to do that in the first place LOL
 
Any DSN'rs in the Iowa City/University of Iowa campus area? My car isn't on campus but I might bring it out next year.

Im in muscatine. I was in Iowa city today and will probably be there tomarrow. We are only an hour away.

matching cars! thats cute!
just kidding. i want a dark green 1g to match my 2g. LOL

the parts are shipped. i sure hope i got your address right. they should be there in 3 business days. i sent you both tcus and the isc. i didnt even think about it when i was in the junkyard, i should have grabbed the tcu from a non-tubo. oh well. if neither of these work for you let me know. i will be going back within a week or 2.

take care!
:talon:
 
hey look whos back on the forums?? me! hows everyone been? what u been up to? not much here just chillin in ames. im up for any meets here in town or near by before it really gets cold.
 
Kyle, get on the DSTA forums!

But to answer your question, I've been doing alright, the Talon's seen a few upgrades, a small 16g for one, and I've got an E8 fuel pump waiting to go in.
 
i actually drove my talon 2 weeks ago! it was only about 1 or 2 miles worth, but i drove it!!
I took it up to the car wash, gave Kyoko (thats her name) a bath and then drove it to central park for a pre-HIN cookout.
it has almost no power when the turbo isnt spooled. when the turbo finally spools at like 3000, it is a bit faster than my civic. it almost has to be a bent valve.

yeah, join http://dsta.net63.net

you too mike!
 
well, any meets we have will be up to us. twotsis has been very busy lately and has had to bow out for a while. should we plan one just after halloween?
 
yes the ISC is working wonderfully and the tcu works so far from my test of driving it 20 feet to the street and back
im getting a 5 spd 93 GSX in about a month
im excited:dsm:
are we talking a parts car or a nice car?
 
Anyone know of any meets coming up before this cold, weather, im up by ames. So if anyone wants to get a meet together that would defintally be cool.
 
theres usually a car meet every friday at the super wal mart at 10pm, but with this cold weather going on, it will most likely end soon.
 
We've moved all of our local meets to restaurants for the winter as of last week.
 
There will still be a few more meets at wallmart in ames I will most likely be there friday nite If any one wants to show up
