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.

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 :(
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.

Some people refer to the heat exchanger as the intercooler, god only knows why. It's easier to just clarify before someone gets confused ;)
Got some gauges in the t-ruck

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.

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


Truck looks badass.:cool:
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.
If you need to pick a Ford Master Tech's head or have any questions or need some info drop me a PM. :p
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 :eek: Maybe some day.

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)


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:
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.

Should have stopped post whoring.
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)
