Hey everyone! I jsut wanted to take a few minutes to introduce myself.. Evidently I'm the "New kid on the block"... Not only am I new to the forums, but I'm also new to DSMs too.. Currently in my car arsenal I have a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GS-T thats currently not running (blah!).. I also have a 1995 Toyota Supra parked in the same garage..

If anyone's near Lebanon, and is feeling the itch to tinker with the DSM, I think my slave cylinder is out, I'd greatly appreciate it.. I learn visually and would love to have someone help me fix whatever is wrong..

Thanks everyone!
Savannah

Oooops.. here's pictures:

I have no problem if people want to look/drive my Supra (as long as I'm with them) but if you spooge on it, you clean it..

Get out of here!!! You're a chick...I think we shall have to crown you with the ultimate cool chick award! I love your cars...wish I were close enough to touch...them...your cars!

I have always had a thing for 2g spyders...maybe one day I'll pick one up.

Damn that Supra is pure SEX!!!!

I've always loved them. I was looking for one when my Laser Panda fell into my lap. I couldn't turn down my old roomy when he told me that he was selling her. I knew how much he put into the engine alone when he rebuilt it.

Welcome "cool chick" nice looking cars you got there. That black supra is (was) amazing. Nice to see a girl with good taste in cars. haha

Good luck with the GST. Just a heads up, if the slave is going out, the master isn't too far behind. Doesn't hurt to do both while you're at it :)

Lol, and don't feel bad about the name thing, I still get mistaken for a dude or else a gay guy! LOL!

Is supras really that easy to pick up, I mean to have 2 of them!? Very nice collection you have there. Nice to see a girl that has 2 bad ass cars on the boards.

They are still very rare to pick up... I just have really really good connections.. I bought the white Supra from a guy that works with my dad for $11,500 (In that condition..nothing was done to that car except I had to wax it again in March)... I bought the black Supra for 20K from a former realtor of my family.. So, basically for $36,900 I got the 2 Supras and the Spyder



Here is the kicker, Kitty.... My master cylinder looks brand new.. the whole clutch kit was replaced and the master cylinder but not the slave.. I might just replace both to be safe..

Looks like you live in a beautiful area of the country. Nice cars.

savannahashlee

Yeah, its beautiful here. I live on 5 acres.. with 200 Pine/Fir Trees... Also helps I have a huge nice shop too!

OMG i hate you!! Lol jk bout that but why did you ditch the black supra!! That thing is amazing. The white one is sweet but i woulda sold it instead. And btw welcome.

I'm guessing the white one ain't TT? I don't recall SE's even coming TT'ed.
Was the black one?

Either way, Supras aren't my cup of tea.

You actually work on your cars? In your huge shop?

savannahashlee
05-23-2008, 05:34 PM
Yes French, I do work on my cars in my shop.. I am new to DSMs, so I'm very unfamiliar.. The first picture with both my cars in it is my garage.. I have a totally separate shop.. I am actually replacing my slave cylinder tonight to see if that fixes my Eclipse.. if not, I will probably have to have someone close to me supervise me in replacing the clutch (if its bad).. I'm not this girl who drives cars around and knows nothing about them.. I like to dig my hands into those cars.. I'm not afraid of breaking nails, getting covered in oil or scraping my knuckles..

The black supra was a TT... I sold it because the turbos were failing, and the tranmission was going out.. It had about 130,000 miles on it when I bought it.. It would prove cheaper for me to turbo the white one than to fix the black one.. Plus, the white Supra has sentimental value to me..

White cars > black cars.

Supras are gettign rare since they quit making them awhile ago and it's easy to bump up their RWHP. That leads to a ton of them in salvage yards thanks to people who can't control their rides.

Must be nice. Those cars are somthing else, very good taste. I wish I had a MKIV sitting next to my GSX :( Welcome aboard, and since eveyone else is trying to be humble I'll ask. Lets see who drives and works on these cars ;)

She's probably granola. Doesn't shave her legs or pits. Has dreadlocks for hair, etc. In other words, pretty much like all the other chicks from Oregon.;)

Ewww Granola sucks ass... I do shave my legs and armpits, thank you.. Good lord no dreadlocks.. I dont smell like pachoolie (how ever its spelled) and ass.. Fuck trees.... Fuck little squirrels... Fuck Spotted Owls.. Fuck Sea Lions.. and Fuck Salmon... Hippies hate me, because on my lunch hour, if i see them protesting, I hand them job applications and classified ads!

Here is my picture.. you strong armed me into it.. I'm not perfect, and thats fine.. I do know that I can afford to lose some weight and I am working on that.. I miss my old body, but having my son and the complications with the surgery really fucked me up something fierce...

Edit:
No I havent put in the slave cylinder to see if that will work.. We had some assholes call today at like 8am wanting to see my house (its for sale) midday today.. So I was too busy cleaning the house today.. Will pop it in tomorrow morning to find out if that fixes it..If not, its time to order a clutch and a man to help instruct me to replace it

So I figured out whats wrong with the Eclipse.. I think its the Pressure Plate thats gone in it... I am really needing someone's help.. I dont need you to fix it, but if you could be here and instruct me how to replace it, I would greatly appreciate it... If you're 21+, I've got a great liquor cabinet... I also cook wonderfully!
Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the PNW!

Wish I was closer to oregon to help you out!

You and one of your cars is welcome to come out anytime to my DSM meet Jan 11th.
had about 35 cars show up last year, and damn. A supra is what I'm buying as soon as I have enough credit. I've decided against the Evo and I'm getting a Supra.

Haha check out DSMTuners.com as well!
PNW forum over there has the meet info as well!

Moe info on the dsm meet, I will come in my built 2g, my friend mitch in his semi built 1g, and my friend zack in his low 11 sec 1g. I could possibly see if luke from englishracing is busy he might roll out in the evo. Let me know.
