Why doesn't anyone ever put a downforce fan in these cars like the Chaparral 2J?

Dude nice man! I just moved to the Austin area and am in the process of turning my 1990 talon into a time attack car! Super sick and many luck!

Rest in peace DSM, you will not be forgotten. 😔 I do have to ask though, how did she give her life?

@@toxicmasculinity7870 Lady turned in front of me

Mine too, I did a swap on my esi and hit a deer doing 122 on a drag strip at Martin raceway, obliterated the car but I walked away without a scratch or even bruise , that was my first car

I cannot make the meet lol. my car does not work as a boat haha

@@ec17pse you’re excused lol

Still regret never getting mine on to the road course back when DSMTuners was still sponsoring me and Andrew Brilliant. Was a fun car and I still wish I could buy it back and shove it in the garage as a restoration project.

@@mavisky oh man. Been on Tuners a looong time. That’s awesome. Get another one!

@@MrJessegsx I haven't been on there for years, but Ludachris and I are now playing with Mustangs. You can probably find old posts from me on there under the username mavisky from around the early 2000's.

Nothing wrong with a 7 bolt bottom end if you know how to prevent crank walk. The 2G head is also arguably better for road racing.

@@konigvonpreuen8065 all the local high horsepower guys are running 6 bolts and tell me I’m dumb for wanting to build the 7 bolt already in my car haha. I still wanna try and build it. Any specific recommendations for the 7 bolt other than disabling the clutch switch for start up and not putting a heavy sprung clutch?

The main benefit to the 6 bolt is just the bigger crank and rod journals. I run a stroked 6 bolt, and never had any issues. Definitely looking at going to a 2G head though. And possibly an Evo III intake manifold.

Thanks man, those were some good times for sure!

Picked my 95 gst up a few years ago when they started getting hard to find. Could not even find a decent one in AZ had to drive out to Cali. Now she completely gutted getting engine bay shaved and only go fast parts. Probably gonna keep the smiley 95/96 body work too.😉

Very difficult to find these days!

@@smokin80 Its difficult in us , but in norway / sweden and nz they have a lot of teams still rung rally cars based on evo 1-3 an they have a lot of ,,manufacture team level'' parts such as, short ratio diffs and seqentail gerboxes. For them its sorta like getting used parts from former nascar teams.

7 flywheel bolts as opposed to the earlier "6 bolt" engines which had 6 flywheel bolts. The 7 bolt engines had issues with crank walk due to their thrust bearing design where the 6 bolt engines did not suffer from the same affliction. The later 4G63's that came in the Evo 5-9 (which are also technically 7 bolt engines) and some of the later versions of the old style 7 bolt 4G63 were given a split thrust bearing that solved the issue.

I think there are different classes for each

AMB Aero V2, designed by Andrew Brilliant, fabricated by Carbonetics

@@MrGsxr007 thank you! There’s a local DSM running this aero package at the Knox hillclimb. Been seeing it for years, always been curious about it

@@320icar yes that would be Garrett Mealing of Mealing racing, him and I talk often

I was running a Shep stage 3 trans at the event and sheared every tooth off 4th gear after this interview. I dont believe John supports the DSM platform anymore and has moved on.

If you mean 4 wheel steering, DSMs were never offered with that. Only 3000GT VR4’s had it.

Had a shep stage 3 at the race, completely shredded 4th gear.

@@MrGsxr007 Highly highly recommend checking out TRE for drivetrain components for these. Imo John over there is the best there is when it comes to working over these old transmissions. He's a huge nerd for this stuff though and getting ahold of him is difficult because he is always working in the shop and ignores his phone often and if you do get ahold of him expect to talk for a while as he rabbit trails on topics like heat management for the gearset and what oils are best and stuff like that. I'll never take my stuff anywhere else.

Literally what it is

Hey…hey, hey. Starion owner triggered🤣🤣

dsmtuners is a great resource, but the site does not fabricate parts for road racing, or provide racing transmissions. these cars are old and have no where near the support from manufacturers as other platforms is what I was getting at.
