[n55long]

No one is on here anymore

 

[xxNocturnalxx]

We are here.

 

[blkgst97]

Ive gone to the toy run last two years and haven't ran into any DSM owners . Hope to make it again this year and change that.

 

[xxNocturnalxx]

I didn't see you but I remember talking on the forum. I was there with another CSM, I'll be there again this year, I'll be in my 89 Silver Mirage hatch, last year it pretty much had a crowd around it the whole time, so it may have been hard to see

 

[nwBryce89]

i will be running up to the toy run this year, also just picked up a light blue laser out of auburn.

If any of you see this one, in Everett, Marysville, or Arlington it's me, I've only come across one other eclipse since I've been here

I just moved from Utah

Saw a black 2GA on SB 405 Saturday morning, I got off on exit 3 and it looked like you were heading towards 2.

Yeah I saw you too. I was headed to the ER dyno day at Drift Office.

I should dyno my car some day. Maybe after I find yet another transmission to put in there.

Why are you going through so many transmissions? Your profile must not be accurate or else I’m missing something.

With the mods you’ve got listed your original trans should be pretty healthy…unless you launch your car at every stoplight.

 

[cagleje]

I've seen quite a few good looking DSM's around my area. There is a 1g GSX that I see quiet often near the Haggens. I normally wave, but I get the weird look as I'm in my RX-8. That will change soon but not soon enough.

Well, my last one (original transmission) was taking a shit, so I bought a "junkyard" transmission. One of the seals went bad in this one and pumped fluid all over my clutch (discovered when I had the car in for service when the balance shaft belt took out my CPS). Got that fixed, but I think it's just old and worn out; it's grinding in to second, it'll sometimes pop out of 1st when engine braking, and I'm hearing a noise that I think is the output shaft going bad.

Cue wanting another transmission to put in. I want to get a Shep or something like that, but I don't have the $3000 or so for the rebuilt one I really want (Evo internals, LSD, etc), so I'm trying to find another used one off of a part-out or something so I can hopefully keep things running better until I can get the funds together to buy or build a new transmission that has the parts I want.

One of the control arms has a balljoint or something that's going bad, but I don't think that's a contributing factor. Still, ripping out all the suspension/control/subframe bits and replacing everything with new balljoints and poly bushings is in future plans.

i think i keep seeing that one too. i see a black 1ga, a red 1ga off of Mst in auburn and a green 1gb off of Fst. all in auburn.

 

[horizontalkev]

I live in Kansas. Im a lonely DSMer in my area. I occasionally see a white gs driving around, and a green 2G. Most of the eclipses are in wichita and KC

 

[2slowTalon]

I see this red 2g talon with a black hood and 2 decals that look like the nw evo but it's nw dsm with a outline of a talon driving all over tacoma and Lakewood area. That thing sounds monstrous.

 

[Dragoneclipse]

Is this site dead?

 

[gdb1039]

Not dead but not as active as it once was. This thread needs to come back though. I'm in the PNW and I get sad when I don't see fellow dsmers. Where did you all go?

 

[Dragoneclipse]

Glad to see there's life left here. Im back in another GSX after an 8 year break. I picked up a rolling shell and starting my build, don't you all go away before I get it on the road.

 

[kornmstr1]

Just got my tsi running after a 5 year break. Back to the forums. Let's plan some meetups!
