[The_EE]

Congrats on the win, Jason! :D

(better late than never)

Thanks James. Better late then never is so true. I had some serious stiff competition every time I tried. Even the other guy this month, great looking car he has.

Congrats bro. The car looks amazing!

Thanks a ton man, it should look even better come spring.

Grats EE!

Thanks man!

Hells yeah. Another win for the 2g's

As James said, better late then never, it took the 2g's a while to get up to speed. I think its because we were not made as flimsy as the 1g's :D

Congratulations Jason!!! :D It's about time James!! :P :P

Thanks Girlie! Hrmm.. about time eh? You didnt fix this somehow did ya?

And yes they are!

I thought your car was down for the winter?

It currently is, Engine is being stored inside where its not so humid so things on it dont rust. Its coming back bigger, badder and stronger in the spring.

[spoolnbreak]

Where'd you get those mudflaps man? I dig em

Other than that, your GSX looks exactly like mine :P

[hawaiifiveoh]

Your car is poopy.



Lol, congrats man.

[The_EE]

Where'd you get those mudflaps man? I dig em

Other than that, your GSX looks exactly like mine :P

Car was officially put up shortly after entered into the contest for major enhancements. Only rule I found for cars in the rules list is, All stated modifications must currently be installed and functioning.

Getting manifold, turbo hot side and o2 ceramic coated
New Clutch
Transmission Rebuilt
New Freeze plug
Aluminum Drive shaft
Caged
New Rotors
Stripped down for weight loss
CF Hood and Hatch
Unneeded wire elimination
Possible wire tuck for the engine bay ( if I am in the mood )

I could have had the car back on the road in a day or so but didnt see the point in pulling the motor, replacing freeze plug, putting motor back in, running the car one time, pulling the motor and storing it. Too much work on the car in a year of too much work on the car :D

[1990 Dsm Gsx]

We can hope, we can dream but it will end, there are way too many fine 1g specimens out there.

Good job man! Only one request. Go T3 hotside! :P

Would cost too much to swap over now. It will happen though if and when I decide to go top mount.

Congrats Jason!

Thanks Pook

Just wanted to say congratz. Helps motivate me getting my car done. Enjoy working on the car over the winter.

Too cold to work, All I get to do is look at it for a few more months and maybe sit in the drivers seat here and there.

i seen one look at the engine bay and it literally took my breath away because that is one amazing dsm keep up the good work and congrats on the win!

Wait until next year, it should look even nicer :P

good job congrats you earned it

Thanks Terry! Had it not been for you and Marcus I dont think I would have had the drive to do everything I had done to the car. Hopefully sometimes in 2009 I can get back out to So Cal and run the tracks out there but most likely 2010. I think I am going to focus on getting my ass out to Shootout this year but if I can save the cash I will be doing both.

Good work J.

Thanks French.

Congrats! More 2G's MORE 2G's! lol:P

Gorgeous car. I envy that engine bay.

[trinistylz2002]

That had to be the longest quoted post I have ever seen. Congrats man!

[93_GSX]

Congrats!! As involved in 'talk as you are and as much time you put into your car, I'm surprised it took this long.

You've got a seriously clean car, and you do some seriously great looking work. I look forward to seeing the future work you do with your car!

[The_EE]

I am not looking forward to the work involved in the car in the spring. I expect at least a months worth of full weekends working on the car before I can even fire her up again unfortunately.

[Tsmith09]

Another 2g : ) nice work man

[Sebba]

If and when this car goes up for sale, It's mine : )

[The_EE]

If and when this car goes up for sale, It's mine : )

No time soon.

The only way this car is going up for sale is if I ever end up having a kid.

Kid > Car

[Sebba]

Kid > Car? Psssh get your priorities in order :P

[The_EE]

Kid > Car? Psssh get your priorities in order :P

They are, I dont have any kids :D

[Sebba]

Touche...

[The_EE]

I am still waiting on this one guy to sell his car so he can buy this off me so I can buy my twin disk, get my trans built up more and get my cage.

I wonder if I could put the 95 GST into the 2009 competition :D

Good god man! I can't believe that is the car..... I saw that picture completely stopped talking (mid sentence) and just stared with my jaw dropped... I might have to stop by tomorrow or something!

Clayton

[turbo1307]

Congrats, it is definately nice car.

[2geclipselove]

Sexy 2g

[dsmersam661]

Really sweet car! The engine bay is awesome.

[The_EE]

Thanks man.

Hopefully it stays that way haha. Day after Christmas Tornado warning was just issued :D

[Purebredx]

Very nice ride, congrats. May I ask how you deleted the ABS? Mine doesn't work and i'd like to remove it also.

[The_EE]

Very nice ride, congrats. May I ask how you deleted the ABS? Mine doesn't work and i'd like to remove it also.

Well, for now its got the fuses for it pulled. I have not decided to fully pull everything out for it yet.

[Johnnie929]

Congrats EE! Well deserved!

[92tsiawdeagle]

Nice ride, congrats on the win.

[importcarkid]

damn thats a nice ride, congrats

[frankozz]

Lol... What happened to the january car? It's almost february and we still have the december ride... :P Anyways, that is a sweet setup you got there Jason. Have you taken it to the track yet?

[Johnnie929]

Looks like EE is the all time winner. Once he won the earth stood still.

[jjrock5]

No seriously, are we ever going to get another winner?? I'm kind of getting bored of looking at the same ride, though it's very nice. We need another winner!!

[90GS]

Whoa! Good job man!! Come to the Track day and lay down a Low 11 - High 10. Looking at your trap speed it doesn't match your ET. It's good for high 10s at that Trap!! I'll probably be pushing it off till later in April. Whophlungpoo's engine is out right now getting a build, Mahle Pistons, Eagle Rods, SS valves, BC272's, yadda Yadda. I want to wait for him to get it done. He's got all the parts but he's just too lazy to get them put together. LOL

[reboundicon]

I have a special place in my heart for silver 2gbs...congrats!

[jjrock5]

lol. Why are ppl saying Congrats when he won like 4 months ago? Is it a nice car though but seriously? Cmon we gotta do something about a new winner.

[frankozz]

Congrats Jason ;)

[Jdog]

That car is godly!! Can I see some pics of the interior?? I know its stripped but I was considering doing the same :)

[4g64fiero]

WOOOOOOOOOOT its about fucking time we won waoooooooooo1ooooooarrrfffhahahaaaaaaoooaaaagaaaaa~~~~!!!!!!!1























Wait a sec, damnit.

[collin]

[Spoolin69]

Wow old thread revival!!

[The_EE]

And a rule #7 Violation as well.

Anyways.. Nice car OP!

[HOT97ECLIPSEGSX]

[frankozz]

We should bring car of the month back. I feel like having my 1g featured in the home page. :P

[killercolt]
