You did a fantastic job on the write up of your vehicles. I like the profession and quirky approach you offer like something off of SPEED channel. It is nice to see some quality video editing and pride in showing off your work. Keep updating the site and videos. I m sure there are a lot more lurkers than you realize that consume the media, but do not voice their appreciation of the material.

Thanks so much DsMWookie, it helps to get this great, motivating feedback! I'll definitely keep at it!

Hello everyone, update time! Here's a new video and although the Talon isn't featured in this one, this piece of equipment will allow me to get a great view of the old DSM's (probably very dirty) undercarriage.

Thank you for saying this! I've got some good stuff lined up.

Haha!! Thanks sir! Hydraulic fluid is tastier than one would think.

Oh and I've got a great prank in mind for my mom-in-law. It's going to take a fair amount of coordinating, but it should get a good rise out of her.

You deserve a show on Speed.. That's all I have to say.

Hello All!

Here's the latest episode of my video series. I know this is a bit off topic, but I thought that some of you may enjoy it. There are plenty of DSM parts in this car though! Like the ECU, throttle body, various sensors, shift knob, etc.

Thank you sir! Mitsu should've built a "Miata-like" car back then.

Nice blog and great work.

Keep it up. You've scared me away from those seats a bit though.

 

[buhay6]

your my hero!

agreed Mitsu definitely should have made a model like the miata. I'm just glad my little bro's got one so I dont have to buy one. We just trade back and forth between my supra and his miata for drifting and track days.

Thanks man, will do! Regarding the seats, they were definitely a big project.

Haha, thanks! Sounds like you've got a great car thing going with your brother. Good luck to both of you!

Hello All!

Just a quick update on the Talon, I've been driving and enjoying the heck out of it the last few months. I recently hauled four 19" wheels with tires on them and 4 new tires in it and was able to shut the hatch! The folks at the tire shop couldn't believe it.

I had plans to take it to the track, but the 106+ degree heat forced me to put it off for awhile. I'll post an update when I make it out there. Lastly, I'm starting on my switch to ECMLink's speed density setup this weekend. The Evo 8 MAS was fine until I slapped this big turbo on here!

Also, here's the latest video that I posted. It's chock full o' cats and turbo Miatas!
