Hey, HEllo, hi
 

hey, i must have registered on this site back when it was called dsmstyle, but i have never posted yet, so in reality im new to this site.... rite? i dunno... but HI! im from Wadena, mn, i have two dsms, i have a 96 base model eclipse, and a 97 eclipse gst, both are modded, but i dont drive the gst thanx to throwing a rod awhile back, plus my basemodel has more mods anyways... well hello again....:biggrin:

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

What kind of mods?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

welcome
so you have a 96 rs (that is the base model)

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome to the site.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

most people think the RS is the base model, but its not, mine is like extreemly basic, my buddy has a 96 RS but he still has a few things mine dont, like his car has the lil speakers on top of the dash, and he has a tack in the dash, and a cupholder in the center console, and a trunk light, and the trunk shelf thing, so yea, mine is even more basic than the RS, but thanx

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

on witch car?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

hi.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

I've heard of that ultra-base below RS trim. Why the hell would you want someting so sparse?

What mods on the both?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Why would i want a heavy dsm? i wanted to get the lightest model i could find, and i wanted the 420a instead of the 4g63

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

why the hell would you want the neon engine. dsm's are not heavy 3s's are heavy

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

cause i wanted to start off n/a and do it all myself... i would rather be able to claim that my car is built not bought... i dunno, thats how i roll

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

i gotta get a camera tho, cause i dont have any current pictures of my cars tho... i have a pic of my 96 base wen it was all body kitted and supermaned up, but thats all i have for now

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome. Even though your nonturbo car has more mods I'm willing to bet the GST is faster.

Also, fair warning that this site doesn't take kindly to bad spelling, punctuation and grammar. ;)

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Walbro 255 and 340cc injectors WOO WOO! Your fuel pump can supply enough fuel for 2 of your cars!

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

yea, no kidding... thats ok tho, i got the pump for $15 on ebay, so i cant really complain... lol

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

actually, much to my suprise, and everybody else that has seen both my cars run eachother, the gst is the slower one... sad sad story, huh? i guess thats kinda embaresing for those turbo guys...jk... thats acutally the only non turboed/ non supercharged car i have ever lost to so far with my gst... sooo theres the pros and cons....kind of

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

How is that possible? With 340cc injectors it can't be putting down too much power, just how light is that car? Or was the GST with the 20g just untuned?

BTW, Welcome!

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome new guy, if you do not have a flame suit, I would go get one.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

O ya there is definitly a "base" model. I got one here at my house, absolutly no bells and whistles. Side note if you ever need a lil more fuel i got some 390s for uber cheap

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

SLS street tuned (or do they have a dyno? I heard they were street tuning cars) versus 20g car?
Something smells off...welcome to the forum, nice mods list on both cars!

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

welcome. I have nothing else to say.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Yeah, the 20g must be running like shit, the NA car *might* put down 200 whp, and that is probably quite optomistic. The 20g car should be in the high 200's with almost no effort. Too bad you didn't put all that money into the GST, you could have had a really fast car! They're your cars though, do what ever makes you happy! Welcome to the board, again :D

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

I bet the gst just spun all through 1st 2nd and 3rd while the rs couldn't spin out and got traction and won.

haha only kidding...but seriously

p.s. welcome

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

How the hell are you running a 20g on 340cc injectors?!!?!

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

No he said that he was running 340's on his base model and the 20g is on the gst...

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

you have interesting prioritys... spending your money on the lowly N/A car gets you more respect than spending it on the better turbo car?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

the gst was just a bolt on and go

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

yea, its true... but what i havn't said yet could change minds....even lives.....jk, but seriously, yea, i bolted on the 20g, and ran at 5lbs, until the cams set, and broke in, at 5, the n/a car was quicker, and yea, the gst dont grip at all... my n/a juiced car is alot quicker than people think tho, umm as far as the fattness on that n/a car.... it has none, it is sooo light, that also helps alot.... but when spring comes round again, the gst might be able to impress more than just a few people...

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

:flamethrower::rollinglaugh:
BTW welcome to the style. Have you had any of your whips on the dyno?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome, saw you over on Team-2g

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

If a 20g GST is slower than a 420A then the GST has some issues. Point proven that bolting on parts doesn't make it a solid car. Time to have a shop that knows what they're doing take a look at the GST.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Welcome dude.

Don't let the everyone get you down, keep coming back to this site and at some point, meet us in person. You seem like a cool guy and I'm digg'in the two cars thing.

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

Do you know how to use the shift key?

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

^haha I was waiting for your post!

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

yea, the car did run like crap when it ran, btw, i have never modded the GST at all anyways, i had it and drove it for a few months before it broke... so yea thats the story with that, but i do plan on finishing building it up, and hopefully making it a quick daily driver...

Re: Hey, HEllo, hi
 

not yet not yet.... hopefully i will get the Base model on the dyno this spring, the BM has been street tuned tho.
