BigBoostDSM's Ride

[BigBoostDSM]

Well, I had a huge story about my DSM career but somehow the page refreshed on me and I lost it all :mad: :tat: :tat: :tat:

I bought my first DSM when I was 17, crashed it on my 18th bday:

Bought my 2nd DSM a month after I crashed the first one:

Went through 3 motors in the new one, all stupid errors on my part. Finally got a good motor in then put a 50 trim on it. Ran it like that for a month, realized I needed a reliable car at this point in my life and parted out the dizzum. It was a sad day, but it went to another Moderator here Iceman21 (Mike). At least I know it's got a good home now.

A few pics of the DSM over the past couple years:

Then I got a new car. It's a 2001 Harley Davidson edition F-150. I absolutely love this truck! I got the non/sc one because I'm broke and it's what I could afford. I plan on buying a stock lightning supercharger and bolting it on for a little extra power. I miss my DSM, but I just am not financially able to keep it at this point in my life. Maybe someday I'll have another one.

Here's the truck:

Well there you have it. Maybe I'll re-do my essay that I had written and repost it here, but till then this will have to do.

Comments, questions, concerns, etc. are all welcome.

[fatalshock]

Keepin it real with the DSM-Talk logo on the f-150. Now that's cool as hell. Looks good man. Love those wheels. I almost got those for my explorer. How's it on Gas?

[BigBoostDSM]

Not very good at all, but I only drive ~50 miles a week to school and work.

I probably get 16-18 city and 21 highway. 12-14 if I really have a heavy foot.

[rself]

Nice rides man. They all look good.

[BigBoostDSM]

Thanks :D

[jamielaserrs]

how fast were you going when you crashed the first one. it looks like it was one hell of an accident.

[BigBoostDSM]

25 MAYBE 30 miles an hour. It was on an ice covered parking lot. Slid straight into a pole, nothing I could do to stop it.

that sucks, must have been kind of scary.

[BigBoostDSM]

Yea it was definetly a shitty day. On my 18th birthday too.

Brakes locked up and I couldn't steer either way. Of course, I got sooo lucky and hit the only post in the 2 acre parking lot.

[Jiu Jitsu Joe]

Nice truck, but what errors on your part made you go through 3 motors?

[BigBoostDSM]

Nice truck, but what errors on your part made you go through 3 motors?


First one the block got cracked in the accident, second the thrust bearing was installed incorrectly by a friend of mine (I made the mistake of not double checking his work :rolleyes: ), and then it was on it's third motor.

[Jiu Jitsu Joe]

Your friend covered the cost of the 3rd motor right? Since he didn't do the work correctly?

[BigBoostDSM]

Nope. He denied everything and claimed that he didn't help me at all :rolleyes:

Oh well, you live and you learn. That rebuild had cost me a total of 300 dollars because all I replaced at the time were the gaskets and bearings. To be honest, I wish I had of just kept the motor with the crack in it. It ran PERFECTLY. I mean, it was smooth and quiet. Even with the crack in it.

[HIGHWAY]

I love the DSM-Talk logo on the f-150, thats awesome. Also love the color on the 1G.

[BigBoostDSM]

Thanks!

The color is just your basic maroon, I've seen countless other 1g's in the same color as mine. It was actually the only color that I didn't want at the time, but since it was such a great deal I couldn't pass it up. It ended up growing on my anyways :P

[greenstreak]

Wow, that first impact looks nasty. I can't beleive it folded up like that at 25-30.

[BigBoostDSM]

Wow, that first impact looks nasty. I can't beleive it folded up like that at 25-30.

I couldn't believe it either. I was young and stupid, it could have been prevented but you live and you learn. Oh well, it was a hunk of junk anyways :P :o

[Iceman21]

The dizzzum went to a good home, Scott, rest assured. It is going to be awhile before I post in this forum unless I decide to do a progress thread.

I am having a good time trying to find a motor for this puppy.

[Woz]

no blower on the truck wtf?

[BigBoostDSM]

Glad to hear you have some plans for it! I can't wait to see some progress pictures. Good luck with finding the parts you need.

[BigBoostDSM]

no blower on the truck wtf?

Nope, they came N/A in 00 and 01. 02 and 03 were s/c. No worries though, the plan is to have it blown by the end of next summer. I am also helping my girlfriends dad turbo his 01 harley truck.

[solomontomb]

Love the car and the DsmTalk logo on the truck, very nice.

[11secdsm]

I'm actually interested in seeing pics of the turbo truck once it's done!

Oh, the DSM was very nice! Too bad you got rid of it.

[BigBoostDSM]

Oh no worries, there will be a full writeup with pics and specs on here once it's done. It looks just like mine on the outside but under hood is a little different :cool: He actually just picked the turbo up a couple days ago, it's a precision GT 4202RL-11, 74mm ballbearing turbo, it should make 1200 hp w 28-30 psi :eek:

Yea, I still regret getting rid of the DSM. I loved that car like a child, I had so much time, energy, and money in it. It just wasn't worth the hassle at this point in my life. I'm a junior in college and I need to be able to get around more than I need a race car.

I did manage to get to the track once before I sold it. It ran a best of 12.2 @ 110. I didn't get a chance to launch it though, so it definetly had an 11 second pass in it. Maybe in the future I will pick another one up.

[i need a dsm]

Do you have any spare parts I can have? :)

[BigBoostDSM]

I have more spare parts than you will ever know what to do with.

My garage attic is a DSM junkyard...there's 3 parts cars worth of parts up there. It's actually kind of sad.

[vr4u2nv]

do u have a dsmlink laying around for sale?

[BigBoostDSM]

Nope, and this is not a f/s ad either.

[i need a dsm]

Well, now i know who to turn to when i need parts :)

[BigBoostDSM]

Are you in the area?

haha make that 4 because i gave you alot of my spare parts..

[BigBoostDSM]

haha yea you did, there's so much shit up there.

I had mentioned you in my page long story but this computer decided to delete it on me.

[Conceptvip]

I got my old 6 bolt here, i think it wants to join the rest of the parts in your attic..
Yeah i saw you mentioned the z in one of the the pics :)

[BigBoostDSM]

Is it a good block? I really don't need any extra parts but it's tempting haha

Yea, I had a couple pics of our dizzum's together and then the z with my car... and about how I first worked on your car and that got me interested etc, etc.

The block needs to be bored a little because of scratches on the sidewalls but still good.
yup this was the begining to us being poor haha

haha yea man, those were the pics I had posted up. Wow, brings me back that was a while ago...

[eagle claw]

i have those same wheels

[BigBoostDSM]

i have those same wheels

Which?

[BigBoostDSM]

Update - I have all the pieces to the supercharger upgrade except an Intercooler. It's turning out to be a complete pain in the ass to find. Once I get the IC and a tuner, my girlfriends dad (Who owns a performance shop specializing in these trucks) Is going to help me put it together and tune it.

Should be done by the beginning of summer :D

[BigBoostDSM]

Yet another update -

Got a dual gauge pod from the girl's dad for Christmas. I installed it and an Oil press/EGT gauge that I had left from the dizzum. I'm ordering the boost gauge and a steering column pod for the truck next week.

Getting a tuner for my birthday too :D

Still no luck on an intercooler though :(

[RE's 97 gs-t]

Not sure if the 03 Cobra SC is the same as the one you need but here is a link to an eBay auction for one.

And here is one to a factory Lightning charger.

And yet another one.

[BigBoostDSM]

Thanks, but I already have that piece. All I need is the intercooler itself which is the piece that sits between the supercharger and the intake manifold.

Haha...yeah that's where they usually sit.:P

[BigBoostDSM]

Haha...yeah that's where they usually sit.:P

Some people refer to the heat exchanger as the intercooler, god only knows why. It's easier to just clarify before someone gets confused ;)

[BigBoostDSM]

Got some gauges in the t-ruck

[BigBoostDSM]

Time for a quick update (Copy/pasted from another forum):

Question first: Does anyone know the name brand of the tail light tinting spray paint? I can't for the life of me remember what it's called. I want to get a new look to the truck and I think I'm going to black out the stock tails I have and if I like them, I'll pick up a set of L tails to do. If you know the brand it'd be appreciated.


Felt like takin some pics of the truck now that I had the new tires on. First pic is a pic of my cracked windshield, I'm getting it replaced on Thursday or Friday whenever it comes in (Dealer only part my body guys had to order). Anyways here's some pics:

Oh and my new summer ride :cool: It needs an exhaust but other than that it's fun as hell to ride around. I don't think I'm going to plate it though, just keep it in the neighborhood.

[robcatch]

You must pick up all the ladies with that new summer ride you got :P


Truck looks badass.:cool:

[BigBoostDSM]

Oh man the bitches love the scooter :P

I found out what I was looking for is VHT nightshades, I ordered a can of it a few minutes ago. Should be a fun little project for when I'm bored.

[mantis118]

Nice truck. Like the scooter too. lol

[90laser_rst]

Niteshades will look sweet on the truck.

[_Adrian_]

If you need to pick a Ford Master Tech's head or have any questions or need some info drop me a PM. :P

[BigBoostDSM]

Thanks for the offer, but my girls dad is as well :P He even works on it and offered to dyno tune it for free :cool:

Too bad I have no money and other hobbies, cause I'd love to get this thing into the 13's. Fairly easy with a blower swap and supporting mods. Too bad that'd cost me like 4k :o Maybe some day.

[BigBoostDSM]

Since I haven't updated the pics in a while I guess I'll do so. Mods since last update:

-New sub/amp/wiring/box
-2" rear drop (just to level it out, I actually drive this thing so I don't want it slammed)
-Removed the stock lower graphic, hoping to either get flames airbrushed on or get the stock 02 flame graphics to put on there. Not sure which yet (depends on money)
-Tinted the tail lights with the Nightshades that I mentioned previously :cool:
-New brakes (though you can't really tell since they're hard to see :P)

After lowering (I did the nightshades already by that time)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v655/bigboostdsm/IMG_0572.jpg

Nightshades, did both the tail lights and the 3rd brake light so it blended into the window surround. I'd ultimately like to get a solid rear window in place of the slider and at that point I'd have the surround smoothed and painted gloss black. I've since added 2 more coats of NS and 4 coats of clear to the tail lights so they are a little bit darker and shinier...looking to get some 01-04 L tails and tint them as well, they are smooth instead of having the 3 bumps like these tails.

Thats my first choice for my new truck,:cool:

[tmonttt]

Should of stuck it out with the dizm :dunno:

[BigBoostDSM]

Should of stuck it out with the dizm :dunno:

Wasn't a valid option at that point in my life. I miss the DSM but I don't regret getting rid of it.

I live 550 miles from my parents and I visit them 6 or 7 times a year, the DSM never would have done that. Plus I never have to worry whether or not my truck will start in the morning like I did with the DSM.

[PC Talon]

Should of stuck it out with the dizm :dunno:

Should have stopped post whoring.

[pats95gst]

Nice! You said that you added two more coats. How many did you do initially? I know that you have to do alot of coats to get it dark. I really like the look. Did it dim the tail lights at all? Just wondering cause a frien of mine had someone tint his and he keeps getting pulled over for dim tail lights.

There's like 5 coats of nightshades and about the same of clear. No, they look the same to me...I also have the LED bar below the tailgate which helps add extra brake lights. I haven't gotten hassled for it (yet :P)
