I was born and raised in SA but I am 3 hours away now in San Angelo, I have my team back home (San Antonio) and we have a few DSMs in it and are looking for more so we can have an all DSM cruise to the local weekend hot spots. Any DSM up for it?

I ended up selling my GSX to a guy in Austin. I will tell him to come join these forums. BTW anyone need a Fidanza lightweight flywheel or Exedy OEM clutch ? I need to sell these things lol.

We need to make a Texas DSM sub group, and have our own Shootout in one of the bigger city's once a year.

[GSXspeeddemon]

that sounds like a good idea. i dont know anyone else that is into dsm, so i feel lonely

[TwighlightGSX]

Hopefully when I get my ride running soon, I may be cruising around the Austin area. It is something I have always liked to do.

1604 and potranco here.

i live real close to there and i have a 90 gsx that is currently giving me some electrical problems. but yeah i wiuld love to meets some dsm people. specially 1G's.

[Sebba]

What kind of electrical issues? Perhaps I could help.

[doroyce]

Well I think I have an idea. One day I thought I’ve connected everything to the battery but forgot to connect the alternator wire. The car idles until I lost all voltage needed to run (battery died). Then I took off my alternator thinking that it was bad and had it checked (like 5 times). It passed all 5 times. So when I decided to put everything back together I realized that the alternator cable wasn't connected to the battery. I connected ALL the wires and the car charged (14v at idle and 12v when off). 2 days later, after thinking that I’ve fixed it, I tried to turn the car on and the battery is dead. Before I connected everything the battery could stay in the car for a couple of days without dying (alternator wire not connected).

I saw my alternator and compared to other DSM and some cars has their alternator grounded. My alternator is not grounded; can it cause the battery to die?

[Sebba]

I believe that could be contributing to your issue.

[turbotalon1g]

Hey guys, not from SA TX and I'm kinda getting ahead of myself.
But I should be stationed at sam houston for Xray tech school soon for 11 months. Not sure if i get to bring my car or not, but I would love to meet some TX dsmers. Also I will get back with more info when I know something, I am pumped to come to TX.
Here is my car, but it will have a veteran license plate and stock catback.

[Sebba]

Well, welcome in advance!

Texas ain't so bad ;)

[turbotalon1g]

I am looking forward to it. I went and saw my unit yesterday I applied to the may 15th school, should be there for 24 weeks at least.

And I get to drive down, so i need to turn my car from a shell with just a motor, to a complete running and driving car.

[Sebba]

And reliable for that matter.

I had a similar problem with my 1G. It turned out to be the Alternator fuse in the engine bay by the battery. My battery kept dying even after installing a new alternator. Anyway, from the top view the fuse looked fine, but once removed you could tell it was fried from the side - only way you can see it is by removing it. Hope this helps.

[doroyce]

I fixed my electrical problem. It was my alternator not being grounded. Now I’m just waiting to get a wideband. I’m trying to sell some parts on craigslist to fund it. I think DSM in my area is kinda dying. Then again my car is not road worthy since the tags are out.
