Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
Rick is a great guy, back when I owned a DSM he did a lot of work for me and never once did I have a problem (he even skipped Easter dinner once to install a cluch in my car). He should be able to help you with what you need as far as fixing your car goes. Look elsewhere for mod-list advice though.

Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
Last time I talked to Rick, about four months ago. He said, "I have a contract job now and not wasting my time on cars anymore."
Maybe he lost that job?
Either way, welcome.

He worked on our cars a few times, and a few times they had to get re-worked by others afterwords.
And from my understanding he's done with cars due to actually finding a job in his field.

Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
Alright alright, is this going to turn into another Shindley thread? I hope not. Welcome to the board. There is plenty of up to date information on this board to help you along the way. Be careful the DSMers here are crazy though, we like to run over 17psi so you better watch out.

Its 15psi that you can run on pump, 17 is c-16 territory.

Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
So i should probably turn it down from 36lbs right?
welcome to the forum, where the hell do you live in 'grove? I'd like to see a nice 2G again, its been a while.
I think you should AWD your spyder first.
Dont ever listen to anything I say, im one of those crazy DSMers.

Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
Hey! When I first got on this site I had a n/a auto Talon. Clean, but slow none-the-less. Actually it was extremely slow. Slower than my real Neon that I have right now. It's pathetic. Anyways, like you I had a million questions, and reading up and asking people on this site has helped me a lot. So I took my Talon out, ran it into traffic, collected some insurance money, and now I'm picking up a 1g GST! Haha, well actually thats not really how it all went down but its more entertaining than what actually happened. Anyways, you should be able to find all of the help you are looking for here. Good luck though!

Re: Maple Grove 1st time dsmer here
Welcome to DSMSTYLE....!
Rick did some good work for me before as well, but I just talked to a couple months back and he's ALL done with ANY DSM work as he has a long term Engineering contract with Honeywell?
If you want to get some quality work done at a good price, Talk to Swanney or John over at LSE, I can totaly vouch for their outstanding honesty, work and value! These guys really know what there doing and wont' ever shake you down!
