BTW after reading the post from Tim and Jeremy it felt like deja vu.

No offence to the club guy's on the show but I got up early to watch this, I wan't that hour of my life back so I could stay in bed.
Tony did they tape any footage of you guy's or was your team just too "non-TV frendly", just a bunch of drama queens on the other team and I am not just singling out Jeremy.
And fuzzy dashes on both cars, and I havn't even seen that on the rice circut cars.

One of those cars was mine, I guess drama queen team was workin on it, I didn't watch the show... The fuzzy dash shocked me when I first saw it, one of the producers was like pretty cool eh? I wanted to projectile vomit on him but that wouldn't have fully displayed my disgust...
=)

As far as some of the power mods, I think it's pretty much impossible and unfair for anyone to expect they could build a car in a week, with limited time to work on the car, and inability to tune the fuckin thing...

I think that we had as much tape time as the other team but like you said there was a bunch more drama on the other team then ours.
We pretty much plugged away with little fuss.
But I have to admit, listening to those fight especially Antony made me laugh and the time went by much faster.
Oh btw it was freaking hot!!!
As for the fuzzy sh.t, that was the brilliant idea of our interior guy Kory. I don't think that guy got I oil stain anywhere on his clothing!!!
I had actually went out to Fabricland and brought some suede pieces to spice up the interior a bit.
But as you seen that went by the way side.
Nigel,
it wasn't a week, it was 72 hours and we used pretty much every minute of it.
Till this day we still have no clue what happen the car on its final run, but I suspect timing belt.

Anyways I thought the show came out pretty good but I have a kinda of biased opinion.

and still no links?
I thought someone was going to rip it and then host it?

What did you expect when we got stuck in hotel rooms, diners, and the scortching hot garage for 4 days together with many differences in creativity and mechanical intuition.

SIGH!
I can't beleive you guys lost!

WTF was up with that paint job

Entertaining, yes. But the no tooning part was stupid. You should have run a 2g maf, then the car would have hauled ass with little tuning (IMHO)

Good job though guys. It must have been a bitch to do.

Tim, I'm not sure what you were expecting.

Here are a few points (not directed at you):
-Tony, Jim and I spent quite a few hours making a very detailed plan for the car. Most of the plan went out the window on the first day. The producers didn't order some of the parts we requested. Also, we got some of the same parts that our opponents ordered. They did it to save money (and maybe to cause some excitement). I was pissed. This really killed my enthusiasm for doing the show.
-the "Jet" tool chest was inadequate. I brought in my own tools. We used my tools more than the ones the show provided. The other team even borrowed my tools!
-Our team got along very well. Admittedly we were probably not good TV. I guess the producers figured that whining/fighting/name calling is more interesting than watching actual work getting done. They took plenty of footage of us, they just decided not to show it. There was one particular incident that I wish they had shown but chose not to for some reason.

PPG: We thought about asking you but I knew you would not leave your car with them or let them drive it. They drove the car to the location.

Our car was quicker/faster but sadly, broke on the money run. What can I say?

I didn't see a problem with doing the translator. Steve made up a special chip for me. Thanks again man! The translator adjustments were set to zero. We intended to only use it for fine tuning (which didn't really happen).

It was a bitch. It was freaking hot and the shows' parts ordering guys screwed up constantly. I had to hold their hand every step of the way. In the end, I'm glad I did it.

I finally got to watch this episode. Although I must admit that the track runs were a bit of a disappointment, I guess with only so much time to prepare and no tuning time, not much can be expected! I DID find it entertaining none the less.

I found Rob's team worked well and professionally, with class! The other team, well, they were entertaining, though I did come to dislike that Anthony character.

In the end, the other team could not even have made their "money run" and "win" without a part donated by Rob's team. I thought that showed class, in the true spirit of a DSMer. I think BOTH teams were winners.

About the parts issues, I feel a little guilty. I supplied a lot of the parts (mostly at or near cost), but the producers approached me with a "shopping list", and I just assumed this was each team's "wish list". I thought the fact that the two lists were so similar was just because those were all excellent mods to do....

In any case, I enjoyed it, and will treasure my copy of this show for a long time

I didn't mean any insult to the people on the show, building a car in 3 day's must have been a huge challenge, what I ment to say is unfortunately the producers in thier attempt to make the show "tv friendly" and have an entertainment aspect felt the need to leave all of the fabrication talent, as well as all of the other talent that was evident, and just mainly focused on the crap intenal team bickering.

Hmm what shows does that remind us of hmmm uhmm ...christ Paulie would you shut up while I think...get Mikie to help you finish bolting those parts together that I ordered oops I mean finish "fabricating" that corporate sponsored theme bike so we can engage in some redneck activity for fun.

Nope that wasnt it ...whats that Boyd? Get back to work on the hot rod cause we only have 12 days to make our bestest car ever. Damn Boyd that only leaves us 5 days after the bitching, moaning and all the other entirely unprofessional antics required to slap together a shiny looking vroom vroom for one of the dozen people without a tv set who obviously have never seen how we build cars.

OK here's something interesting:

I missed something tho, t3/t4 turbo's with dsm manifolds?

I how can the green car drive the stock clutch? I destroyed 2 of those on a 14b.

They never listed suspension mods either.


/me shakes head at fun fir

Wonder what the shipping would cost me

That red car has almost all the body mods i've been wroking on for 9 months. Shaved wrap around spoiler, shaved emblems, no decals etc. I still would have gone black on top tho.

Wow, I can hardly believe how much it hurts to look at the green car. What happened to the interior??

The green and blue monster is my old AWD, and it has a 2100 in it, not the stock clutch... It also has alot of AWd launches on it too.

I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

Ah ok, should have figured the guy posting on ebay has no real idea about the cars.

To be honest i'm actually kinda interested in them. I cant imagine being able to justify the shipping tho =\

This morning I finally saw this Episode on Global. I recorded it on VCR as well, and hope to get a TV Tuner card soon to Digitize this.

I must say that by far Rob's team impressed me the most, and if it were not for your generosity in donating the part from your car, the other team would not have won. In my mind you guys are the true winners.

My favorite line from the show has to be the comment on the blue/green Talon's interior by the judge. "This interior would make Cheech and Chong proud". I laughed my ass of at that.

First of all that throttle body coolant line was rigged by the TV show for flare but I fixed it in time with Tony's donation. I think I even called it a "Jeremy Hack-Job" when I saw what happened.

And sure they worked well together but what good is that for TV. My team won, we were more interesting and controversial, so... shut up.

I'd defenately like to see that.

I only saw a part of the "Neon" show. Pretty cheezy show of you ask me but I would defenately check the Talon show.

Ghislain.

Anyone have a copy of this that can be linked yet? I want to see, and don't get the channels this plays on.

I would like to see this as well

I have the CD if anyone can come grab it and host it/bit torrent it. Other then that, I can't do much.

I could put it up on my ftp for a few days (during the day while im at school)

^^^

That would be great!!!

Tim, i could put my ftp up so you could upload it?
Then once its done i could put it up for the rest of the guys...
Ofcourse it wouldnt be super fast or up all the time ( I will post when it would go down) as its off my home pc, but better then nothing i guess?
Any ways pm me if you want the ftp info tim.

I'll let you know what file type it is and we can work from there. I wouldn't know how to upload to an ftp.

Depending on file size, you can send it to me and I'll upload it for you. Catch me on MSN sometime and we can transfer it.

I also saw the episode but I would like to see it again so let us know if someone hosts the file.

Why not put it up as a torrent? Once a few of us get the complete file we can seed it till everyone gets it.

I forgot it was airing on the weekend or I would have capped it as well.

I like to look at it too.
If anyone has a copy or link , upload it please.

Mehrdad

I've been patiently waiting for this episode as well.

Very excited to see it.

Pete

I was even watching the ebay sales of the cars after. Count me on the "want to see it" bandwagon.

I made a quick, dirty, uncut VHS capture of it. The machine I normally use for my captures is in Montreal so i had to make do with what I had on had. Sorry about the flicker and it being in wmv format but its better than nothing.

I created a torrent so that the more people who have it the faster everyone else will get it. I will be seeding from 2 locations one I get it upped to my Montreal machine.

I almost forgot, merry xmas CA.DSM. this is my gift to everyone.

Cool thanks!
Will seed this when its done

helping seed now

Speed was pretty darn fast, got it in like 5 min.

I will try and make a cleaner cap of it in the new year.

The speeds might be a bit slower now I need to do some work on my montreal machine so not more seeding from a 10meg fiber connection till later tommorrow
