Spray on def does not look like shit. You just must not know how to paint. The common mistake children make is not clear coating than buffing after spraying the tint. Ive done several pairs and they come out looking glossier than stock.
I just sold a pair of clear tails for 150 without the...
Thanks man! I wasnt saying I'm hating on modding cars...I'm speaking from experience. I put thousands of dollars and hours into the talon only to have it all thrown away in seconds by someone else's error. All I got back was book value plus whatever I could sell. It's frustrating and depressing...
Thanks a lot guys! Its just about ready to be hauled to the scrap yard and I'm not gonna lie, it makes me sad to see it. I put sooooo many hours in and spared no expense restoring it. I was ready to move on but I really was looking forward to passing it on to someone younger who would love it...
Not bad. I you remember a while ago you tried calling me out that I didn't know about music, only to eat your foot once I posted pics of my home studio set up lol. I've made hundreds of tracks, all original meaning I don't drag and drop pre made loops. I make all my own loops from scratch....are...
What a passive aggressive post..lol. Not sure why you feel the need to comment on engine integrity when you have zero experience but ok. First it's most definitely marketed toward the older crowd, read edmunds, car and driver or any other review. It was designed to be a more comfortable ride and...
Lol. Thanks man. It always looked pretty good, but Once I painted it in may it looked beautiful. I ment to get pics up when I first got it back, but it slipped my mind. Like I said I'll be back. I have a appreciation for clean stock dsms. I really want to own a mint stock 2gb talon. Super rare I...
Well guys its been a fun run the past 12 years but the time has come. Ive been messing with dsms a long time but its time for a break! My most recent dsm was a 1995 eagle talon tsi. I built it for 6 years. Finally got it COMPLETELY done...everything was replaced, it ran flawless. Dumped 13000 in...
You out of your mind to say modding doesn't effect reliability. It does. 99% of the time a car is half ass modded. Meaning throwing a turbo and injectors on and jacking the boost. This rapid increase in hp/tq most definitely takes its toll on other stock parts -- breaks, suspension, clutch...
As stated, your married with kids, drive a 20 year old car and have no degree..,who in their right mind would take financial advise from you? Credit is a scam huh? Rofl...so your going to pay cash for the house you can't buy? Or wait, let me guess once youve got your degree your gonna make 120k...
All you guys bashing loans are out of your mind. I agree spending more than you can afford is dumb. But if anything, taking a small loan for 3-5000 is a great idea for someone in his spot. No bills and living at home equals easy to pay. In today's world you arnt shit without a good credit score...
Bud I couldn't be further from pissed! Lol. I can't help but find this amusing. I agree with what you say about the Internet and not talking things personal. The op needs to listen to your advice. After all, the whole thing started cause he got pissy about me calling his friend a idiot. Lol. I...
Lol. I tried to help the kid but he got all pissy cause I called his friend dumb for saying the turbo was the issue..,which than turned into him running his mouth. Good thing you decided to try and call me out too!
Im putting up my 95 tsi for sale. Brand new paint, tires, engine, everything in the suspension (shocks, springs every bushing and control arm), brakes...ect. $4500 in reciepts from the past year. I am the 3rd owner. The cars never been raced or abused and its adult owned (im 30, no hack job 17...
The Chinese housings are hit and miss in my experiences. Over the course of 3 setups, only one lasted more than 10-12000 miles. The other two first stripped several bolt threads. After I repaired these with helicoils, each one warped and would not hold a good seal to the manifold. They are...
Dont throw away money on a overpriced hallman pro. Go to nxsmotorsports.com. They sell a bsic manual boost controller for 20$ shipped...AND it has a lifetime warrenty. Your paying for a name with anything else. Honestly, Ive owned both and I am very pleased with the nxs.
Hahahahahahaha!! I could careless if you question my knowledge. I know my stuff and my car is the proof. For the record dummy, maybe re read what you typed in the first post, than read what everyone has said. I have zero respect for ignorance. Since your one of the obnoxious ones that likes to...
Your missing the battery tie down. Real clean though. I vote maintain it and leave it stock and unmolested. Those are MUCH more rare than a abused modded dsm. Go buy a $1500 gsx and mod it.
LOL. Let me get this straight..youve "worked on dsms for 9 years" and removed a engine, but yet lack the common sense to troubleshoot a knocking noise? Someone with knowledge like you claim to possess would compression test than drop the oil pan to start. Its common sense. Dont get your panties...
Your friend should stop talking out of his ass. Knocking noises are unrelated to the turbo. You need to drop the oil pan like mentioned earlier. This will immediately tell you if theres bearing damage. Timing belt covered in oil could be a bunch of different leaks...from filter housing gaskets...
Dude what are you doing?? You join a car forum and one month later you post a thread begging for attention? Get off the internet, go to rehab and get a life.
It's cool man I'll be 31 in September. Been in the game for 12 years. I know I'm getting old cause I can't stand reading 90% of the idiotic posts from 17 year olds...lol... Half of these people were like 5 when I bought my first Dsm.
This sucks.I am getting the car back from a paint job and really wanted to perfect the exterior dammit. Its funny i got excited cause a couple of the sites that pop up say they have them in stock..but i called them all, and none of them had it
I have searched around a lot. part #mb881973. Discontinued. There has to be SOMEONE out there with one!! Anyone know of a dealer? I have a brand new passanger side but I dont want it on without the new drivers sid.
Modding a 20 year old 210000 mile car to be 350hp is a terrible idea. It's not as much a question about the engine handling it. It's more about the fact that everything else most likely won't handle it...drivetrain, suspension components..ect. If you have another car and don't need this one...
