Take back the keys!

Hey guys,

Tony here. DSM owner.

Been into DSM's since 97, but never had much interest in participating in the local events/forums because they had been fairly low volume in the past.

Current setup:




Last local forums I can remember being on were the Northeast Autosport forums, back when it was owned by the original owners, when it was located on 224. LOL.

You probably won't see my cruising (if you do, it'll be t00ning the AEM) or hanging out in parking lots, but other than that I'm friendly.

Anyways, you'll find me participating in the more technical stuff, and trying to help steer the newbies on the right path.

If ANYONE needs help with ANY turbo stuff, please PM me. I've built a "few" cars over the years and know my way around pretty well.

I'll also be offering fabrication services to locals on a very low volume basis. Such as exhausts, intercooler pipes, misc. welding, etc. Miller Dynasty 200dx TIG welder on site, and I can lay a bead.

I also do concours level detailing services as well. I'll post up some of my work.

If any of this is against the rules, mods please let me know.

Had a late start on the build this year, didn't get started until September..

Here's the 2005-2006 setup:



Here's the latest fab after completion:



Here's later that afternoon:



Here's later that weekend:





Few days later with a bunch of shit cleaned up, and the motor dropped in..



And some various pics:

Holy jesus. I need to come over. I see you're sponsored by shearer and brooks, thats awesome. Shearer's stuff makes me drool, and didnt brooks just tune that 1000 hp 2g? I saw that on tooners, might be a different guy. Awesome to have you on here!

super clean bay man! Glad you saw my post and joined up!

Loving the setup.

Yes, Shearer is a good friend...we go way back.

Brad is THE BEST 4g63 tuner. I won't get into details, but I have let all the other big guys tune my car. Brad beats them hands down. Driveability is awesome.

Brad did tune my buddies Ken car. 1017whp with WAY more left in it. Small exhaust housing, lots of nitrous, etc.

Any any any 4g63 questions or other, please PM me.

Christ that is a clean engine bay!

Excellent job and welcome!

hopefully we will see this thing out some

Car is super nice man, mad props don't know if mine will ever get that clean. How far away is brooks form here to get your car tuned?

He will come anywhere. His home shop is about 5-6 hours away from here. In Maryland.

However, it's not really worth it unless you have a standalone, such as AEM, Motec, etc.

If you have DSMlink, I can fix you up proper with a good tune provided you have a wideband and have some time.

Not to shabby! Nice fab work.

& thats one hell of a clutch u got there!

Whats that thing pull in the 1/4.

from the looks of it he will be trapping anywhere from 125-145 depending on his boost level's..... the ET is up to his 60ft

Wow! Your car looks similar Brads, only WAY cleaner! Mine used to be that clean, but until I pull the motor again, those days are gone. I dig what you're doing. That manifold is teh .

You're in very good hands tuning-wise because Brooks can tune his ass off. He brought a 10-second street-legal 2g to DSMCA's GT-9, and it idled as smooth as a stock DSM despite the burly cams. Sick. He took fastest AWD trophy hands-down no-question & was almost 2 full seconds past second place (me). All I've got is a measly 12.20.

Hi BTW! I'm new here. I visited Youngstown last fall, came up to visit some friends, and one of them referred me to this thread. There's a 12.47 pass at Quaker City in my GSX section (that takes forever to load) of me running down a Z06 Corvette. I had 30 minutes of prep time on the car after the 420 mile drive, so basically hot-lapped it.

I plan on coming back to the Youngstown area again for a gathering this summer because we had a flippin' blast. Went drag racing, visited Summit... I was the only DSMer, but it was a lively crowd and everyone I met was too kind. Perhaps someday we'll meet? I'd love to witness this car run!
