Badass Christian! I switched over some time ago. I now have an 02 GT and a 90 LX notch 5.0 as the DD. Very nice looking California Special Clone!

No. I actually never tested for a boost leak. I had a couple extra turbos laying around so I stole the wastegae off of one of those and swapped it out. So I guess I was just lucky with my first troubleshoot.

I had the same problem and it ended up being the wastegate was bad. I Dont own a DSM anymore, but if you still need help by the time im done moving ide be more than happy to stop by sometime and see if I can help you out. I live in Pontiac so im relatively close.

I did and there were only 2 left in Illinois. Neither of them were the paint scheme I wanted either. I'm getting mine through chucks in bloomington.

Oh man. And I remeber the days when you had hooters girls asking you to have threesomes with them.

Thanks. I was actually looking at hondas before the Nightster caught my eye. I'm not a die hard harley fan, but I was suprised that the retail of the nightster was under 10K and I fell in love with its looks. Plus it has the V-twin 1200 motor which sounds badass with some slipons IMO.

Yeah. What color is his? I'm torn between the color in the picture and the orange\black. Yes Dan, im doing a little better financially than I was before. You should buy my 5.0.

Here are my current projects. They are not DSM's but Ive owned 5 DSM's before these. We'll start with the 02 Mustang GT. When I bought it 9 months ago it was bone stock. So far Ive put MAC pro-chamber midpipe, MAC cat back, 02\03 Cobra hood, grill delete, and stangsuspension stage II springs. In the near future I plan on adding a heavier clutch, a mongoose supercharger kit, intake, a few more free air mods to get that SC breathing correctly, and then a good dyno tune. As far as cosmetics Ive got some 18X9" up front and 18X10.5" in the rear saleen wheels planned and an 02\03 cobra front fascia. Heres some pics and a small video.







This is a small vid. Its nothing special and it was taken in a park (nobody was there) so I couldnt get on it too hard, I simply made it to show people how the exhaust sounded.

And for my daily driver for the time being I have a 90 LX 5.0 notch. Its bone stock aside from a drop in K&N filter and the future plans for it are to sell it and get a truck to drive year round.









I also just bought one of these badboys. I had to order an 08 because all of the 07's were sold, but I pick it up early august.

Yeah. I'm still in the pontiac area. Dan- the laser actaully is a funny story. The girl that I bought it for and I broke up and like a month after I bought it she traded it in on a new car (they gave her $700 for it.) Well apparently it was auctioned to a used car lot where the owner of the Monicals Pizza franchise bought it to toy with. He parked it in fron tof his house and didnt drive it once besides home from the lot. It sat there for a few months and some guy who drove passed on his way to work stopped and asked him if he wanted to sell it. I think the guy told me he bought it for maybe $1000. About a year after I last saw it I was at a get together with some of the old CII guys in Bloomington and up rolls the little red laser. I couldnt believe it. That car was a trooper!

Hey guys! I'm sure some of you dont know and and some of you may remeber me! I just thought I would stop in and say hi! I kndan fell out of the car scene for a while, but I used to own a 95 GST, a 91 TSi AWD, and a 90 Laser RS-T. Currently I drive an 02 Mustang GT and a 90 LX 5.0 notch. Glad to see you guys are sill around and kicking! Hopefully I'll have this 90 5.0 sold soon and then I'll be on the lookout for a DSM again.

Plus its a 91. What kind of condition is the body in? Pictures do wonders for selling a car online.

Or in the case of a DSM, if it aint broke, break it then replace it with a better part.

Heres mine!

Still interested in trades for a 4-dr vehicle? Ive got a 96 Ford contour in good shape I might be interested in trading for the Mustang GT.

Awesome! Haynes manual+ Vfaqs= DSM bible! Also www.plymouthlaser.com has some good walkthroughs.

The tranny will be replaced at the time of sale right? So anotherwords the car will be sold in good running order?

Any rust? Its a 5-sp right?

What color is this bad boy? Shoot some pics my way. I'm VERY interested.

AWESOME deal on a DSM! I loved this car! I'm glad to see that somebody finished it the way that I would have liked it done.

And that was like back in 2000 marcus.

are you trying to set all of our members into a fit of massive depression? LOL!

I think the obvious answer for all of us is

"$1000 or more - Serious rebuilds and comon breakage"

I've got to say Joe, i kinda wish I would have kept that car. Probably one of the best $250 you ever spent eh?

I'm going to have to say good luck with getting what you want from the army (military.) Thats great that you want to be a machinegunner, but just because the recruiter puts it in handwriting, that doenst mean jack. Not trying to be a dick, but recruiters are not exactly high on the chain of command and it doesnt matter what he says, if somebody above him says you are going to be washing dishes at the mess hall and will never have the chance to even shoot a pistol, then thats whats going to happen. Either way good luck! I would love to join the military as Ive gorwn up in a military family, but I am color blind, flat footed, have back problems, arthritis, and worst of all was born with a heart murmer. I am glad to see that we have young folks that are willing to freely do their duty for the country that we live in.

Sounds like the timing belt tensioner broke. When mine was going out it made a funny noise at low RPM's and the noise went away at higher RPM's. It sounded like an exhaust leak coming from under the hood but it was really the belt flapping around. You probably skipped the timing and bent some valves. Check the pistons and see if they are ok. If they are just try and throw a new head on there. If that doesnt work or you are yielding low compression even after that then I would worry about a rebuild.

Yes. My bet would be on the tensioner. Take the part of the t-belt cover that goes over the top of the camgears off and if you have skinny enough hands reach your hand down and see if you can loosen any slack on the tbelt. It will feel rubber bandy if the tensioner is broken. Oh yeah, for obvious reasons do this while the car is NOT running. LOL!
