This was my first DSM.

Anyhow, I named her Medusa because she was just so damn ugly when I bought her. I turned her around though;) Before it was all said and done she had a 2.3 stroker with a 50 trim. My noobness and college budget didn't help though. All that potential and I was venting to air with a Turbo XS RFL BOV and tuning with SAFC.:o Man, I'm so glad I finally learned a little bit.:D
The day I bought her.

After a couple weeks and some elbow grease.

The front bumper was just an idea I went with. I needed a new one anyway.

The truf!

But did I ever hate it during the rain and winter months. It leaked like it was built to and I'm 6'7" so when the top was up it was uncomfortable.

Screw you ROB. jk

I think it could of looked good if it was painted correctly. I wanted to carry the lines to the rear.

Don't be! You have a sexy 2G! Plus, You're HOT!!! ;) :p

Lol thanks. I just wish my 2g was white like all of yours! White is most definitely my favorite car color.

You know man, I had been playing with PS and doing so many versions of a paint theme for the style that you have done. This is the first time I've ever seen it actually on a car. I've decided to go with a different look but it's really cool to see what I wanted to do at first actually done. Actually, the reason that I wanted to do it is BECAUSE I had never seen it before so I guess I'm kinda glad I didn't do it, lol. But very nice DSM man, very well done.

You really turned that thing around. Ever take it to the track? Dyno? What kind of 50 trim was on it?

Oh yeah? You have any of the work that you did up?

That build was half assed. I hate to put it that way but it was. I was in college and on a budget and more less in a rush.

I'm trying to take my time on the GSX build and hopefully she'll turn out A OK.

You really turned that thing around. Ever take it to the track? Dyno? What kind of 50 trim was on it?

No Scotty, she never saw the track or the dyno. I figured she ran somewhere in the neighborhood of 325whp on an SAFC w/ 750's, 50 trim, at 22psi. I had a friend with a Spyder that dynoed at 310whp and I could pull him by a car in 3rd gear.

If I remember correctly it was an old school Garrett but I'm not 100%.

Looks pretty sexeh.

Thanks Joshy! lol
