Blog Title: My DSM cronical

Well I thought this would be cool to start as a daily record of what is going on with my car. I was'nt really sure about it until I had other members start asking me about mods I had previously done and realized you can't understand the future without first learning about the past.

I work on it just about everyday and have been really altering it to the point where it is no longer a daily driver anymore and just a "money pit" as my wife calls it. If she only knew..... My goal is a somewhat stock appearing/but you know its faster than stock look. I'm not fanatacial about this as you can tell by the 19" rims. I really don't care if there to heavy, I just like the way they look on the car.I just want a fun car that looks good and can scare the shit out of my neihbor with the Z06 vette.

I do almost all of my own fabrication work within reason just out of a sense of pride by doing it myself. So far I have tought myself how to do TIG/MIG welding on a novice scale and limit myself to parts that if they break will not cause my death or total destruction of the car. I also learned how to do Composite work on a novice scale also and plan on doing alot more. I've come to really enjoy making, and designing pieces for the car now.

So I would like to start out as to the current state of the car and go from there. I've gotten to the point were I don't like to leave anything the way it was designed to be and come up with these crazy ideas for parts while I dream at night about rainbows and teddy bears.

Crap gotta get ready for work finish this tonight.

So I get these ideas about stuff I would like to make for my car. I set out a plan, supplys, and a time line.

It then goes south. I either change my mind make something and don't like it, so I have to start all over again and it never ends. I've got some serious ADD going on here.

So I removed my A/C hid my fan control in the cup holder, went crazy with guages, switchs and relays. Trying to finish the duct for my FMIC. I made a custom USB ipod port, cuase I hate wires.

This seriously took me monthes to get to this point and not everything works yet. The two guages were the HVAC controls were are Coolmist W/I controler and a N20 controler/ pressure display.

I just want to drive the F-ing car.

	Are these parts carbon fiber overlays? Or actual, full carbon fiber pieces?

	I like it. How's your car running with nitrous and meth? I've got meth on my car but I've been playing with the idea of giggle juice.

Yes thats real CF plain weave, the silver is Silver twill weave fiberglass cloth. It is an overlay on the original plastic cover plate. I made the guage holders from PVC tubing, the eboost controler housing is custom since its an odd size. poured some expandable foam, shaped it and covered it with a layer of FG and then CF.

I have'nt run the car on both,the N20 setup is new and I'm still working some bugs out. And now I can't get the guage to work...
