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:











With a 667whp 300zx:



One of my parts cars:


Race seat in the dizzum:


50 trim installed:


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.

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.

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.

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.
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 :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.
Do you have any spare parts I can have? :)
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.
do u have a dsmlink laying around for sale?
Nope, and this is not a f/s ad either.
Well, now i know who to turn to when i need parts :)

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 :)
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.

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

Which?
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
