Wess was a great guy and will be missed by many. I know him personally as he built the motors in both of my DSMs many many years ago before he moved on to Texas.RIP Wess, may god be with you and your family.

Congrats Chris.. Site has come very far very fast huh. I still remember when tuners was my way of life :)

You know the saying, you've got to pay to play. Besides its truly not that bad. Its 950.00 preloaded with a map for the car with i/e or i/e/h. Now ofcourse there are gains to be made if you have the programmer as well but its not necesary.

I ran 14.4 @ 99 with just intake and exhaust. I then later ran 13.9 @ 106 with a 50 shot of nitrous spinning through 1st 2nd and into 3rd.There are a few Celica owners now who have run high 13s like 13.7 with a cold air intake like AEM or Injen, an axel back exhaust, and the Apexi Power...

See after reading through this entire thread Ive come to the conclusion of why I'm glad I don't own a DSM anymore. 90% of DSM owners are ignorant to the fact that there are other fst cars out there and everyone hear needs to understand that information from you cousins uncles mom doesnt mean...

I'm in DE.. It doest necesarily have to be local. Im looking for shops that could do mass work in the future.Thanks Ed :)

Im actually looking to get some parts for my Celica polished and want to know if the DSMers have any good links.I remember someone on here used to do powder coating but I cant recall who. So any links for reliable powdercoating or polishing would be great :)

an IT job that is dealing with anything pc related at this point in time so long as it would pay the bills. Theres a reason I don't have 2 DSMs and a bike anymore :(

<-- member 39 :)I also still have the 2nd highest post count on tuners even though I lost my DSMs almost a year ago :(

I wish I lived in North Jersey or Central if thats where you are. Im in Delaware and needing of a IT job badly :(

Id buy one if I could find a nice one for a decent price. They are very rare around these parts, nice sleeper :)

Since when are you allowed to post half naked pics of women around here? Lucky Im not a moderator anymore :)

Best Thread EVA! :)You can say that again..Thats what I miss, just the fact that tuners was about friendships to me which though we all still talk its not like it used to be and doubt it ever would be again :(

Yea I think you have me beat on the damage aspect.

I don't believe it was posted so Ill add it for old times sake.

Apparently you missed the whole I totalled my GSX thing.<-- curious why signature was against the rules?

It appears she has gotten a lil better since this actually took place back in September 03. Here is a quote from her profile on Honda Tech"fastest in palmdale w/ a hurt motor and my car weighing 2850lbs- 12.4 at 116mph.....then blew the motor "

Subject says it all. Ive had someone local asking me questions over the last couple days so I sent him a couple videos of my GST when it was in its glory. The videos really made me miss my car :(

some how i figured this would be the hot thread over here. That show summed up in one word "pathetic" from all aspects.

Here is a pic of me and my girlfriend, its actually her Celica.

Long time no talk :)Recent pic of me and my new car..

That picture still cracks me up...

Pretty good..I met a girl and Ive been out here in California with her for the last 2 months. She's moving in with me back in Delaware in a few weeks and everything looks good :)She drives a Celica GTS BTW :)

I'm still around... I just dont read the DSM boards anymore due to the fact that I dont own a DSM anymore.What exactly is the dark side?

There are way to many biased people with misinformation in this thread.2000 Celica GTS with i/e 14.422 @ 99.161998 Eclipse GST with intake, piping, bov, full exhaust, and 18psi on the T25 14.380 @ 99.75Now dont expect everyone and their brother to run the same times but Im just...

yip.. just pulled it on the lawn and left it running while I took a few pictures.

Most of the things in these albums are 1600x1200 if you click them 2xhttp://www.newcelica.org/larryd/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=picturesIf I had to choose on picture of my old DSM Id have to use this one though..http://www.newcelica.org/larryd/albums/album18/abn.jpg

agreed, if they would just come out with a good looking AWD turbo 4 banger Id be all over it. It seems everything turbo is either FWD or not very perty to the eye.

The eagles got owned last night but theyll be back. They just were out of groove all night long. Dont forget that for the last 2 years they also lost their openers and still managed to make the NFC championship game.

Im level 72 in WMM now. I only have 5 events to win before WMM is complete.

How fast is fast?

Do any of you guys have experience with the Motorola V60p? Im thinking of purchasing it for my Verizon plan with the new push to talk feature.I dont need to compare phone services, just want to know if people have any direct feedback of that particular phone?<img...

Minus 500lbs or so :)

Well I wont disagree about the $$.. I definitely think the car is overpriced. I bought mine is 1999 as a 2000 model for 21600 out the door which that is a good price. You cant touch that now and its sad because Toyota has really priced themselves right out of the game.But seriously, you got...

See I step down from being a moderator around here and this is the kind of respect I get..Look dude, have you gone to the track lately? Hell have you ever gone?? I see stock DSMs running mid 15s all day long, I also see stock Celica GTSs running mid 15s all day long. There are people that...

My friend actually did it for just under 8000 including everything I believe he said. Did you check out the webpage I gave you a listing to? They are a reputable shop that can/will do the LS1 swap for you. Theyll find the engine. trans, and hell a car for that matter.I inquired to them...

Actually you are very incorrect. If you drop an LS1 into the car it actualy weighs less then the Rotary. Check outhttp://www.hinsonsupercars.comHow much will the car weigh? Answer) The aluminum GM LS1 and LS6 engines are extremely light power plants. With the complete removal of...

Yea I can tell your speaking from so much knowledge and experience.. Oh wait thats right I owned a GTS for 2 years and I just happen to run the largest forum for 2000+ Celicas on the internet.My GTS ran a 15.2 @ 95 bone stock.. My GST ran a 15.5 @ 94 bone stock..Anyway you look at it...

Your boss is full of shit.. the LT1 and LS1 are completely different engines. The LS1 is better all around.

Any car can be made fast for the right amount of $$.Ive owned a GST, GTS and GSX so Ive had the best of all worlds here.If you want to make power cheaply then get a GST but Ill tell you up front that my almost 400whp GST wasnt as fun to drive as my 180whp GTS especially after I put...

I wonder why all of them would be attracted to the hood scoop like that so fast.

OMG, why didnt they put you out?

Seriously the picture doesnt do it any justice, when he pulled that thing out of his trunk i was like WHOA :)

Well the bone i broke is different. I actually broke my fibia and tibula (lower leg bones). I have a rod through the big one and thats actually completed healed now. Im just waiting for the other smaller bone to mend.I was on crutches about 4 weeks after the accident and was walking...

Ill tell you the same thing I tell myself. One day at a time. Thats all you can do right now.The motion comes back, I had actually forgotten about that till you just mentioned it. I remember sitting in the hospital in the physical therapy room a couple days after my accident and having...

Charles..damn dude.. When you called me thursday morning I had no idea who you were because I was half asleep. And when you tried earlier tonight my phone was dead from not charging it all weekend. Ive been in VA beach all weekend with the DSMers.Im really sorry to hear what happened...

I know I can manage to get banned from here just like I did from talk ;)

jdmawd.. how exactly do you figure that an LS1 is less reliable then a Rotary? LS1s make good power and do so without much stress and run for many many miles. The Rotary is just a major PITA to maintain, it seems as if it will just pop the apex seals just driving down the road out of the blue...

Whats this world coming too :)

Quote from the site.."the aluminum GM LS1 and LS6 engines are extremely light power plants. With the complete removal of the 13B and the sequential turbo assembly, the project car's final weight is less than the total gross vehicle weight of a stock Mazda RX7. The final weight of the car is...
