1299, Hello from Dallas, TX,
Posted by Spokshift, May-19-09 09:21 PM
Hey hey,


My name is Blake I live in Dallas, TX. I have a 96' RS 5speed for my daily driver. Great, fun little car, it has about 160k on it and still runs strong. When I bought the car it was bone stock, my favorite way. As it is my daily I haven't really done anything too drastic as far as modifications go. I've dropped it on Tanabe DF210's and installed the GReddy Ti-C exhaust.

I guess the 420a is the bastard step-child to 4g63(T) owners and everyone of them I've spoken with absolutely refuses to classify our cars (non-turbo) as a DSM. So needless to say, I haven't made any DSM friends around Dallas or attend a meet. Yet.

If you live around Dallas I'd love to meet up, go to a meet, or just wrench down.

Here's a picture of my 2gNT. Thanks for the site, and all of the extensive information.

Hello and welcome. How do you like that exhaust? At the time I couldn't see spending that kind of money for it.

The exhaust fits well, and sounds excellent. Its a very clean sound, most audible around 3k. The muffler is a nice size, not too large but not too small where it looks awkward. I found a website that price matches, so I found the best and cheapest price for the exhaust and bought it. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I've had horrible experiences with e-bay, so I almost refuse to buy anything from there and would rather spend my coin on a worthy known product.

Thanks for all the welcome's!

As far as Ebay goes I've found if you are buying a name brand product you usually won't have any problems. Just always check the seller's feedback. Bought my first turbo kit there and needless to say I regret it!

Ahah that is awful, I am glad I didn't purchase a turbo kit in that case! e-bay used to be legitimate when it first came around, now all most all of the individuals know, feel, and want to get away with whatever they can.

Its a hit or a miss, sometimes it works out great, and sometimes it'll leave you stranded and out of coin. In either case its always an experience!

I will have to say I have not had problems on ebay other then me buying really cheap off brand products but thats not ebay's fault its mine. I have never been screwed over by a seller or anything. You just have to be smart and aware when shopping on ebay. I buy and sell stuff on there all the time I have 130+ feedback.
