I work alot of hours during the week, never get anything done it seems then. Here's a few things I've been doing for the past month or so on my weekends. I'm a random-type of dude so don't be upset if a few things are out of order


Removed the cruise control, casing was cracked and it was bent from the PO trying to do a tuck. Sourced a non-cruise cable from my local yard on the cheap.



Buschur uicp, speaks for its self! Old-school, matches the guy below...



Dejon modified smic. Modified larger inlets and outlets for anyone who isn't familiar with them. Also goes well with this...



Dejon intake, always wanted one, picked this up off the classifieds section.




I found this on a '98 Volvo V70, it's a lower radiator hose. Why would I use this on my DSM, you may be asking? Well it just so happens that it fits the stock re-circulation tube perfectly, has plenty of length and if positioned right is flexible enough that it won't collapse and works rather well imo. Well I actually haven't drove it yet but soon...I have a picture of it installed at some point.



Custom licp, sourced from a turbo Saab I found in a local yard. Cut off part of one end to make it fit, cool thing is that it tapers from stock size up to the size that the inlet on the intercooler is. Still have an issue to work out with the coupler that attaches to the intercooler, it's not a perfect fit by any means but it should hold on long enough to pass emissions with this guy...(and that reservoir is getting relocated)




Magnaflow 2.5 catalytic converter, before and after pics. Hope within the next 2 weeks to have her ready for emissions testing.

Transfer case was leaking bad, changed the seals and the yoke and now good to go! The old yoke was scored where the seal would lay, and as far as I can tell the yoke was never changed for the recall(I ran the vin)=leak city! All good now, topped off with Redline 75W90




scored these guys from an Eagle Vision, not sure where to put'em. Any suggestions?

Kinda stalled for now, tracking down where my exhaust is leaking and also found out I have a leaky brakeline. No emissions yet. Fun fun!
