44932, Turbo MAgazine - Interesting Article
Posted by JasonESi_T, Feb-20-03 09:36 AM
Just wanted to pass along a great read in the latest Turbo Magazine within the Project Neon- Pt4 section. That article features a story, with lots of pics, about the install and review of both a Phantom Grip and an Unorthodox Clutch, both of which are directly applicable to our own rides.

It's definitely a great read, and something to get your hands on, if either of the above two products are something you're interested in.

Also another article you guys might want to check out is in "Sport compact car."

It has to do with the nationwide circuit (forget what its called), where basically only the most badass cars (mostly modded) can compete. A supra, 3000gt, wrx, viper, etc. you get the idea...

Anyway... a DSM, although its a 1st generation AWD, is representing our cars well. It dynos at some rediculous number, ~570ish ?, as well as, quote- "almost ripping the dyno straps".

Definitley worth a look...

Good article in SCC. The viper won out only cuz the DSM is a race only car, hehehehe.

Yeah I saw both those articles. I will hand my mechanic that article for when he does my lighten flywheel and my PG LSD.
As for the 1G DSM I have seen that car in person, last summer showed up to our CCDSM meet. The owner is Dan Cokic from Pruven Performance in CT. Ran 10's. A street car. The best example of 4g63 I have even seen. I think he has since sold the car. His other shop car an orange 1G is the fastest, no nitrous, Eclipse in the country, with a 9.6 in the 1/4 mile. :o Also that 3000GT in the contest was all talk no action:nono

Performance: Stuff that makes my car run better or go faster

Looks: Stock because looks doesnt make my car go faster or run better

Weight Reduction: CF Hood, No A/C or Powersteering Accessories, No rear interior



I am sorry but the SCC 10 best cars....SUCKED....There are defently better cars out there they could of chosen....unless hardly anyone sent in info for there cars....like the VR4 3000GT Spider....how could that of made it...it weighs like 50 million tons....and then that one thing....it didnt even look like a car....should of never made it....I think they could of chosen alot better...only reputable cars where the Supra and the Integra Type R and the Skyline....hopefully next yr they choose a better bunch
