Hey I'm a Senior at JMU and new to MM this year.

I've always been into cars but didn't really start working on them until I got my first about a year ago. I'm more into drag racing than drift, autocross, or road racing...probably one reason I haven't joined MM before now. I currently work at a performance shop in Harrisonburg called MonkeyWrench Performance. There is a strange tuner/racing scene down here, and what I was hoping that by joining MM I would find some more people who are adrenaline junkies who live and breath cars, tuning them, and racing them.

This is Maggie, my 97 GST problem child, pride and joy, and addiction:

This was what she looked like when I first got her...and yes, those are 20s on a DSM. Bad move on the other guy's part...very bad move. I was VERY happy to replace those with the Hoosiers



This is what she looked like on my old setup.



And this is from the DSM Shootout 2009, in Norwalk Ohio this past August with the race/track setup I have now. (Special thanks to Street Tuned Motorsports (STM) for all of the great pictures! You guys are awesome!)





Anyways, I'm always up for cruises and having a good time. Also, the shop and I go to the dragstrip fairly often. If anyone is interested in going to the strip and seeing what your car can run in the 1/4 (even if it is your beater car), let me know!

Great to be here and great to meet everyone!

Welcome! What does your GST run?

[ScottyB]

you and Travis need to talk....

[MWP_Brittany]

The GST runs fast...when its tuned, which it unfortunately is not at the moment and hasn't been this whole summer, LOL. Right now its breaking apart right when I hit boost. That all being said, I'll say the same thing I tell everyone who asks what I run and what's under the hood: if you wanna know how fast, come run me. :-D

Total newbie status will be confirmed with this, but who is Travis?

he had quite the GST back in the day

[MWP_Brittany]

Do you know what kind of motor he was running by chance? 6 bolt swap, 7 bolt, 2.0 high compression or 2.3 stroker?

[ScottyB]

i couldn't tell you. i'm sure you could post in his thread or PM him and he'd be able to tell you just about anything about the engine since he did alot of the work himself.

[JustinG]

if i recall correctly it was stock 7 bolt w/ a 60 trim, and welcome to the club, ive got a 99 GSX. I was hoping there would be some more DSM love after DJ left.

[Ryan T]

Welcome, good catching up with you yesterday, it had been a while!

I agree with Justin, good to have some more DSM since DJ is gone...MM just isn't the same without a car that doesn't run right...

[MWP_Brittany]

lmao...thanks for the welcomes...and don't worry, I will always provide the club with a car that is temperamental as hell. Gotta love the DSMs.

I put the old injectors in it after some terribly disappointing testing and tuning last night and I'm going to put the old tune back on it and see what happens.

Anything fun done to the GSX?

Anything fun done to the GSX?

Fun... like lighting it on fire? :lol:

[MWP_Brittany]

Haven't done that one before, :-P

[WRXtranceformed]

Typical drag racer, tight-lipped on your times

Travis switched over to my Subaru for a reason :lol:

Well have to get somebody to teach you to turn

Cornering is overrated...

[JustinG]

Well aren't mustang wheels locked in the straight position from the factory?

[fiveoh2go]

Well aren't mustang wheels welded in the straight position from the factory?

FTFY.

I might have to agree with that one...

[xvxax]

Did you live in Hunters Ridge last year?

[MWP_Brittany]

Yes and no...my fiance lived there and I was there...a lot. Why do you ask?
