New To Forum...sort Of

Black97civic · 11-24-2003

Well, I guess I am new to the forum, I signed up about a month ago, and then forgot that I signed up, so Now I am here.

Anyway, I have a blue 89 chrysler conquest, kinda like a dsm...

I would have pics but there really isnt anything worth seeing yet. I know a few of you guys, and hopefully will get to meet more of you as i get deeper in the DSM "scene"

Peace

Yep, its me, kemmy, you took the seat out and whatnot.

I got a poly bushing kit ordered for it to stop the clunking in the rear end, so I gotta put that in soon.

Have you talked to reid lately, I have called him like 20 times, but he is never home and no one ever gives him my messages.

Iceman · 11-25-2003

KEMMY! i was wondering when you would pop up. Seen the conquest looks decent for having no tail/head lights and barly a engine right now

. How far a long are you on it, engine wise?

Who this be??

I got a 1g MAS and Lid, so now I just have to get a 1g k&n, and that is all I got so far on the engine, My friend is making hard pipes and an exhaust once I can take it into school where they have a lift and a tig welder.

If i can get it into the shop in the next week or so, 90% of the work will be done by christmas, my buddy will also be helping out a great deal with the bodywork i need as well.

So that only leaves the steering ragjoint, new front seats, new tail lights, and then finishing up all the small details like making the whole thing blue...

God this is gonna be a lot of work

he works 6-6 now, best to leave a message on the machine.
Figured it was you, just making sure, welcome to dsmsyle (or is it mitsustyle now).

Aight, cool, I realized it like 5 minutes later when I read your reply on todd's welcome post.

Yo, swanny, can you just tell reid to call me, b/c the current message sending system leaves a lot to be desired. I think his sister has the short term memory of Tommy Chong.

This obviously isnt mine, but it is the same body style and color. So mine will eventually be like this with some good shit under the hood.

They have quite a bit of potential, not quite as good as DSM's b/c of the throttle body injection, so I only have 2 fuel injectors, and since it has such a long stroke, it doesnt rev very well.

But this car has hard pipes, super 16g, bov (which prob slows it down), heavy duty clutch, full turbo back exhaust, and k&n filter, and maybe like 2 other things and consistantly runs in the mid 13 sec range in the 1/4 mile, so that makes me happy.

john · 11-27-2003

Happy with mid 13's? I will not be happy till I hit 11's. I will still probly keep going though.

yeah, 11's would be sweet, but that would probably require going to Multi Point Fuel Injection, which requires an assload of parts (Intake manifold, injectors etc.) and a good Standalone fuel computer, not to mention re-plumbing intercooler piping and other various things..

It would cost like $1500 to go from 15's to 13's, and to get to 12's would be like $6000 for the multi point injection and all that, and then 11's would need a bigger turbo, more boost, internals, cam, headwork, and all of that more "hardcore" stuff.

I wish I could spend $10k on a $2000 car, but mid 13's and a nicely restored older sports car are good enough for now.

Eventually, I will prob end up getting an AWD DSM to staisfy my needs for pure speed, b/c as far as speed on a budget, it doesnt get much better than an AWD 1g.

BTW, what is your last name, I think I might know you, did you go to hopkins? I might be thinking of someone else tho...

Iceman · 11-27-2003

HAHA yeah john use to go to hopkins to dude. Hes the one who use to own the teg.. with the red tear. Little john has moved up since and now has a pretty preped DSM.

I am the one who was in your art class with the integra. Just got rid of it last friday and got myself a 2g for less than half the price of the integra. 92tsiawd84 is my brother.

Sweet, well, I guess I know like half of you guys now, and I knew you all before I started posting here, damn, thats kinda weird.

john · 11-27-2003

Yeah, I knew it was you. You said you were the only one with a blue qwest. I am hopefully running 11's in the spring. Setup will be together within the month (hopefully).

A//// Guy · 11-28-2003

I dont know I think your setting your goals to far forward.... 11s are a good goal but I dont think youll run them right away. If you do thats sweet.

slowbubblecar · 11-28-2003

he should have the parts to do it

A//// Guy · 11-28-2003

I have parts to run 13.0... Im not doing it.
