Here's the truck:

I still show my DSMtalk love:

(Fog light is now fixed)

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.

 

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?

 

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.

 

Nice rides man. They all look good.

 

Thanks

 

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

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.

 

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.

 

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 ), and then it was on it's third motor.

 

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

 

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

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.

 

Uh,oh. You know what that usually means. Imaginary friends?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

no blower on the truck wtf?

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.

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.

 

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

 

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.

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 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

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.

 

Do you have any spare parts I can have?
