I may be moving to Texas(McAllen area) soon. Wonderng if there is a big dsm following there i know its huge in AZ. Hopeing it will be the same there.

I might have to leave my gst in MI too which sucks but if i sell before i go i might be lookin for another dsm (i want 95 white tsi awd). Any info on that area would be great too.

I live in Hidalgo and I go to the local UTPANAM School. I'm pretty much in McAllen all the time to do or buy anything, its the town just north to mine.

I can tell you with all honesty that there is very little mature knowledgeable car culture anywhere in this place. Last time I saw a car group meet was on a parkinglot in nolana trying to show off their kitted Hundai tiburons with underbody light kits. And of course the camaro TA guys making fun of them. These websites are what I use for any kind of intelligent information on tuning and parts.

As far as DSMs go, I have a hard time even locating one for sale that hasn't had the interior pieces painted white or red. There is of course a few clean ones but I can count them with one hand. I get annoyed when I get the typical car genious asking me when I'm going to put nawz, rimz, and a kit or if I want to sell it.

There is a group of guys just south of the border in Reynosa (where I grew up) that get together regularly with their 2g's but I'm not really familiar with what their attitude is. I have however been told that most of them have underbody light kits on their cars.

I live in the DFW area... mostly rice here, not many DSMs. A lot of Mustangs though.

I live in the Houston area. We have a pretty good following, check out http://www.htown-dsm.com and check out the forums there. You can see a couple of the hooked up rides and find out the latest meets in the area.

i wish i could bring my car but i dunno if i can so hopefully u guys have cheap ones down there

not that many nice eclipse here, hard to find a good one for a good price here either. Im from Harlingen

so what is this place like? alot of jobs? jobs in resturants? busy city or ghetto? anyon have picures? im trying to get a feel of this place beause what basically is going on is im leaving everything behind and just moving so i wanna know if it will be worth it and easy for me to get a job quickly

why are you moving? if you dont mind me asking? the rio grande valley is one of the fastest growing ares in the US. That being said, there are alot of job opportunities available here. Ive lived here all my life (21yrs), and realy the only thing Ive never liked is the weather, always hot, always windy. That gets old really fast, but other than that, the women are hott!!! the clubs are ok, the island is 30 min away, and mexico is 5 min Now if you are talking about buying another gst....i have never seen one for sell lol, ive only seen 2gnts. So, i wouldnt be looking around for any eclipse down here, i got mine in san antonio however. good luck with everything though, and if you do decide to come down ill PM you my number so we can get together and show you around.

my g/f dad got a job offer in mexico so her family is moving so im going with...so thats whats going on but ill need a job as soon as i can get one so if you know of an job openings let me know thx

I don't really want to take back my previous post but I just saw a nice 1G 4G63 when I was pumping gas at the shell station on McColl and Ridge rd. I don't know if he was venting his BOV or not but it was really loud which is why it called my attention when it was flying by. It stopped at the corner of the station and took a right towards a neighborhood. He was really romping on the throtle prolly to make people hear his BOV. His turbine sounded so nice spooling up that it made me want to hurry up and save more for my turbo setup. I'm still not boosted but not for long... .

I guess I've had my brief sightings here and there but no groups that i know of that like DSMs in particular.

looks like ill be heading down in the begining of June. That way i have a lil more room to save. so i will be driving the gst down too so thats a plus unless something else happens thats the plan. so if you texans see a low red gst with a real pasty white boy with a confused look on his face stop and help me out

nope but im sure ill stick out

Who, on this forum, is where, in Texas?

I know Dino and Thura are in Houston.
I've got another contact from T2G who lives in the Houston area (Crossbreed).
Luke and Luke are both down there, too. Like San Antonio, I think.
KaptainMyke is in Houston?
Brynden's mom lives in Austin, I think.

I've been giving some thought to Houston, recently, but I don't know that I could tolerate the humidity. I'll take 110* @ 11% versus 95* @ 83% any day of the week.

meeeeeeeeeeeeeee

right now (and only for another month) im north of the DFW..up by the river.

in one month i will be going to the panhandle (amarillo)
