I got a few things to install on my car and I need a hand. I am a little behind on installing them since school finals were in motion, but now I am all done.

in about 2 hours on a 2g 7bolt willing to take $150 to do it?
I can handle this job, but it might take me a little more than 2 hours. I like to have the extra time just in case something doesn't come off right. Is your drivers side motor mount in good shape?
Very trustworthy and able mechanic here... Dave's helped me out with my car a bunch of times and will more in the future!
Thanks, Danny! I'm always glad to help. How's your car feel at 20psi now?

2600 maybe 10k on the disc (put it in new with my motor) 15k+ on the pressure plate
If its messed up im thinking of changing it maybe... something that will shift a little better yet is streetable (not a twin disc)
EDIT, i just did a launch through 3rd and the car felt fine. The clutch felt a little wierd after driving normally, but its probably because i warmed up the car, beat on it for 4 blocks, then drove it back home and cooled it off haha.
I'll have to do some more driving around in the car to really see if the car is messed up, but my friend just wanted a taste of what a turbo car feels like so i gave him one, then there were some cops in the area so i had to park it real quick.
yeah sean was telling me the QM's are where its at for the evo's... but i havent heard much of anything about them on a DSM.
Know anyone with experience with one on a 1g awd?
The new motor is coming along slowly. I keep finding ways to add a few more HP, like higher compression, adjustable cam gears, crank scraper, etc. Doing a full motor and tranny rebuild always seems to take too long. It's going to be sweet once it's done.Not anyone local, YET. Most of the fast cars are running PTT or QM, most say they're nearly identical. I'll have a QM going in the car in about a month as well. I'll let you know how it goes.
Good to hear you got a twin disk too, Dave. How's that new motor coming along?

14b?
Oh I might break it in with the 14b, then see how it goes.
Right before I tore down the motor I went to the track on a loaner 14b. I went 12.6 @ 109, that's how I knew the motor wasn't making the same power anymore.
12.6 on a 14b? Somethings wrong!
So I'll use the 14b, stock sidemount, stock injectors, etc, as a baseline. It should go faster than last time.
The new motor has 9.0 Wiseco pistons instead of 8.3
I like the new beehive springs that are out. Kiggly has some on his site, and FP has two versions on their site. I already have Crower springs and they work fine, otherwise I'd get beehive springs for sure.
Kiggly's main girdle is a good idea for a high HP motor. Many have gone fast without one, but it should add some long term durability to the bottom end.
I have a PTT on the way, it will go in in the next couple weeks. Then back to the track.
