Back from the dead,,,,What was the problem ?

Looks good, What are your lap times and how long is the track you run on?

Run a compression test and see what the results are, I had a similar problem with my 1g. It was running fine then just stop running. I had 7 bent valves on the intake side and my timing belt was fine. I had a lifter stick up and push a couple valves into the pistons. I'm still not sure how so...

Do you have any build pictures of this? I find it very intriguing and want to see more...

What about running a shim on the top hat of the drivers side front strut to get some wedge into the car. What kind of camber adjustments can you make? I run in a street class we don't have any rules as far as suspension, the only requirement is the car has to be street legal and inspected. wedge...

super clean car looks great. nice times too.

What cams are you all running now? they sound pretty aggressive.

Good luck guys, keep up the good work

I can remember cruising out to 39th street and Darran driving that car out there with a 16g and a 5 speed. Awesome car kick ass Darran good luck with the 8 sec pass. It's well deserved.

Alternator maybe... check your voltage and see if it's charging that's really weird.

Where are you getting that? I want one.

I love the air box you made that is sweet.

do you have a write up of how you did that? I would definitely give it a read. Looks good.

Yes these are rare cars but nobody wants to buy them, I wouldn't mind having it 5 speed but I have always wanted an auto car. I love the look of the car and if it's just not in the cards to have 2 dsms. 2 dsms = broke all the time with 2 broke cars. pics update. wish I had a better place for the...

that sounds like a pretty awesome idea, involved but probably do-able.

I'm tired of grinding gears and breaking trannies, I don't want to pony up the doe for a shep trans and I have a low mileage GSX chillin waiting for me to molest it. I was going to build it but it's rusted up pretty bad. body is straight and rust free but the rest is not good bolts keep...

nice rescue looks like you did a fine job, love those cars.

A couple questions for those who have done this. What is the small plug? 4th gear requires a switch, can you use the stock OD switch for this? I don't see why you couldn't. Secondly if you leave the button on I would assume it will skip 3rd all together and go straight to 4th, is this an...

I think you're going to love that turbo, they don't know the meaning of lag. I had one on my Laser and destroyed a vette with the window sticker on it. that was a great day.

Do you have pictures of the other side of the car? I don't want to trash this guy or your opinion of him but I think I have seen this car before and if I'm correct the other side of the car is smashed up.:hmm: I remember the tail lights and the wheels. the whole car just seems very familiar to...

Have any of you had any expierience with the brake handles? Not sure what they are called, they look like a big e-brake, a friend of mines uses one in his 9.40 car, says it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. He took me for a ride and launched it and it never moved. It was amazing.

I thought you told me once that once you're in boost you had trouble keeping your car still?

it sure would, i guess for now line locks on all four with have to work.

oh well I guess there had to be a reason I never heard of anyone using one.

I wonder if you can take from this diagram and wire a trans break? It's just 1st and reverse at the same time. Somebody smarter than me chime in, I'm just throwing the idea out there. A break on an auto awd would be amazing.

I also run a 2600 now with a fidanza flywheel and have no noises at all did you resurface the flywheel before the new clutch?

read the entire thing, amazing. I'm not crazy about the color but it's still Incredible.

My 1g AWD made 420 at the wheels with a 2100 and a street disk. FWD shouldn't be a problem. 2100 has very good street manors too

looks freakin awesome

Looks awesome!! good work.

Perception is everything, almost, I ran my Laser around with the stock muffler bolted in and a completely open exhaust, no muffle, no cat, just straight 3 inch pipe. it is loud and nasty sounding. I have out of state plates too. Dave can vouch for how loud it was. I did get pulled over one night...

you say fram oil filter caused it? how so? that's what I had on mine.

I wish it was only going to cost $50 to rebuild. I think it's because I said it was running properly is why it broke.

My car blew up again! I have the worst luck ever this is the 3rd engine.

Yah the exhaust tip is just for looks so I didn't care. Plastics update:

The tank was no trouble, did you hang the tank up when you were painting it? Just take your time and it will turn out good.

thanks.

awesome build, I love the black and white.

my car made around 500 completely stock(130k miles) plus metal gasket and studs for a long time, I daily drove it everyday and drove it from Oklahoma to Florida beating on it the whole way. it only failed when my wastegate stuck and I wrapped the boost gauge back around to 0 on a 35 psi gauge...

^That is a lot of work, more than I'm going to bother with for my project. It turned out pretty nice and I just used a coat or 2 of rattle can primer.

the paint on the plastics and tank only cost about 9 dollars and I still have a half a can left. bikes are so much easier and cheaper.

the gun is a 60 dollar gravity feed from lowes forget the name i'll post it up when I put up more pictures.well here's 3 of them all done and pretty. I only have 2 left 1 of the 2 is drying now. My car is getting the semi gloss black treatment next.

^ Thanks for the advice, I will probably put a few coats of wax over it just as a precaution. here's a couple more. Close up of the front piece.This is after wet sanding with 600 and respray.

It's been a while since I posted anything about my paint. Here is a little something I did tonight. Again I am spraying the 9 dollar a can rustoleum paint and this time against the advice of a few on here I sprayed semi gloss black. I personally think it's easier to paint because it's easier to...

got the tune all done on the car, it runs great.

yup sure did I hated the white pillars, going for the all black top. It looks a lot better.

I think I'm about to get some GST wheels and do them black and white like I did my wheels.

thanks, what do you guys think looks better, bronze or black and white.

I actually did 2 in bronze and threw them on the car so I can decide which I like better, I'm leaning more towards white/black. What does everybody else think?

Thanks, now I just have to get it tuned so I can get rid of the save the rain forest cloud every time I start it.
