Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 08:16 pm UTC
Hey, been getting the itch for a new DSM. I love the 2gb but may go with a decent 1g. Anyways I'm on the search and found a few. I am sure these cars probably belong to members here so maybe they can chime in.

Ok....been awhile since I have been on here but that name really sounds familiar. I'm looking for some feedback on them if you do know about the car. For the FWD guys.....would you go to AWD if you had the choice? I have always loved the AWD but if I find a killer deal on a FWD I may bite. I really am trying to stay with an AWD 2gb though.

My car was FWD, wheel spin gets old really fast. I now own 3 awd/4x4 vehicles if that is any other indication.

Haha, thanks Jason. Ya...the spin would get old fast. I like the fact that the AWD just grabs and goes. Part of the reason I love DSM's. My first Talon was a super clean 97. It was super mint. I ended up selling to Sergio Barros. Then I had another one that was fast as hell but the car was junk. Now, I want to spend the money on a clean solid body. Engines and parts are a dime a dozen.

I think it very different then you remember..... search Project OCD. Rob C did some really nice work on it. Actually nice is an understatement.

Project ocd looks like Sergio's 1g. I sold him my red 2gb. He molded it then sold it. Can't remember who he sold it to tho.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 10:12 pm UTC
From what I had followed up on after Sergio had it....it when from one of the cleanest 2g's around to a pile of crap. Someone did a real job on it.

No it's a 2g. If i knew how to link it I would.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 10:19 pm UTC
Oh ok. I searched project ocd and found a black and silver 1g

Wow.....I want my 2g back lmao. great work. I also saw Jason Drews winter project thread....killer car.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 10:57 pm UTC
Yeah it a nice machine. Mr Drews is a sexy beast aswell. I think the next time I am in Montreal I may go check him out.

Rob and Jason's attention to detail is what pushed me to set the bar high with my build. both cars are a prime example of what a DSM build should look like

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 11:41 pm UTC
You mean DSM's shouldn't look like a retarded kid built it out of Lego?

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 05, 2014 11:45 pm UTC
Haha, so many 2g's (and a few 1g's) fall victim to this all the time. its far too easy to completely butcher a DSM even with the best intentions.

Hehe
My idea for my car has always been the bumble bee look from transformers, looks like sh!t on the outside but everything you can't see (except for the FMIC) is nice and take car of.

Well, this thread got awkward.
Stephen, please do let me know when you're around so we can "hook up".

Salomon is just living his college days..... i no gay. But for sure the next time I am in Montreal I would love to see your car and have a beer.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 06, 2014 04:54 am UTC
Sounds like a plan.
I may be heading to Toronto this summer, so I'd love to meet up with some members on the way.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 06, 2014 04:59 am UTC
I may take my Talon up to Montreal. Just have to figure out if I will 3m the front or plastidip it.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 06, 2014 05:09 am UTC
Neither will help when chunks fall off an overpass in Montreal.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 06, 2014 05:11 am UTC

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 06, 2014 05:18 am UTC
No overpasses between here and the West Island. So I am good.

That red one is in Kent Hennigar's garage I believe.
A red 1GA in Kingston probably is the one at my house.
if it is the car it belongs to Grant Williams he did have it on the market for a bit. I believe he decided to keep it but if your seriously interested in it I can have him con tacked you. I know the car very well and I have done all the recent work on it lots of new parts

I cant remember his name either but I bought it from him with a blown turbo. Did a full turbo rebuild and turned out the engine was gone. Then I sold it to Rob C. And you guys know the rest

That car was a tru POS when Sergio had it. That definately changed once Rob C got his hands on it.

Re: Anyone know this car/guy? - February 11, 2014 04:01 pm UTC
The car is straight and clean and was a great starting point. Nothing cut or rusted anywhere, it was just subjected to cheap DSM modding/hacking for a period of time.....
I just finished putting a factory untouched engine harness from Florida without a single spliced wire or alteration onto the harness. Plug in ECMlink and go. No funky wiring business.

Yeah, thats Grants 1ga in Ktown. THE cleanest I've seen, too bad its fwd; but would make a good dd and was listed earlier this year for reasonable $.
