Woah at that price I should retire early. I didn’t think it would be this valuable. Can you send me one of them huge checks? 🤭

So, what price would someone put on this relic? 🤔

Definitely not using it, it’s just the “cool” old parts factor for me. I got a low mileage 1g that I was going to mod “period correct” since I have quite a bit of old school goodies…but some stuff is questionable lol

I should have known considering I also got dejon intercooler piping and intake pipe with all the parts. I had my suspicions but wasn’t sure if he made intake manifolds as wellI remember when he was around. I have always ran his products but wasn’t 100% sure on this intake manifold

I came across a small hoard of old school parts. Anyone have any clue on this intake manifold? It doesn’t look familiar to me…

It’s not necessarily an ACTUAL member on the site. It’s a usual hacker who probably hacks this type of forum and knows the ins and outs of this type of layout. He probably does this on the daily around the world. Hell he even tried deleting the BEWARE portion on the bottom of the classifieds...

Is that a crack I see?

Im just impatiently waiting for more pics :p

Woah....Id personally steer clear of this WHOLE scenario unless you want to be in the hole a whole lot of money. Sentimental value or not, it seems this situation is the good ol easier said than done. Especially the plans you have in mind. Can it be done? Maybe...but theres a reason why it isnt...

How is your coolant temp sensor harness? Is it brittle and cracked at the sensor? If so that will cause a mess of headaches. Its also a cheap fix to replace that sensor as well.

The ideal flush fitment is 9in with a +35 offset ;)You'll have lots of poke. You wont be able to lower it much without it rubbing or running a stretched tires. You'll need to do lots of rolling and pulling of the fenders and rear quarters.

Add up all the money youve spent to build the bottom end. Now ask yourself if youre willing to risk all that money rolling the dice.....or find a block you dont have to question for a few hundred ;)

Nah I think you meant that. These DSMs make us age faster than normal lol

Happy Birthday! Another 20 year member here in a few months.

That doesnt look bad. Smooth it out and send it.

Stupid question, but ive seen it before. You sure they arent the normal indentions they have for the valves?

....thats something all of us has said at one point. Yet, here we all are lol

I daily a 03 Lexus (Overpriced Toyota) IS300. Its my second due to me totaling my first. Got bit once, had to come back. Really reliable daily, plus it looks nice and has some kick. Sometimes its a bit small, but it never lets me down. Hopefully when the stars align itll be boosted as well for...

Just came here to say your car always kicks ass at TX2K. That is all :thumb:

If you have a Facebook theres a local and surrounding area groups. Texas DSM Meets and San Antonio Area Tx DSMtuners. Join em if you have FB.

I dont think I've ever been happier seeing a car hop around a few times lol Usually they end up in the wrong hands and end up ruined. Im glad to see this one keeping on keepin on! Its nice to see! This car has had a journey for sure, but always ends up in good hands :)

Send them to ECMlink and have them reviewed and repaired. Theyre very good with pricing, as Mech mentioned. Itll save you time and a headache.

Meh im just on there for Marketplace. I use it as a good resource for income. I stay away from everything else. People spend too much time on social media, when they should be more productive with life in general rather than stuck on tv/phone screens all day

I hadnt been on Facebook besides re-activating now and then for a few mins when I was curious on things. Now, I'm back on it because I have lots of stuff to sell, and holy hell I forgot how much of a cesspool it is LOL. ESPECIALLY the DSM groups. Constant d**k measuring contest. I see some...

Yes. Youll only be stuck with an empty middle hole if you plan on using your high rise since the low rise has 3 mounting points I believe.

@Widgmaster. Sensei you are called upon

Seeing them always makes me sad :|

Do you have pics of the whole car?

My condolences good sir. These times we live in are unpredictable.

Its the exhaust gasket or the turbo gasket. Check it and report back K thanks :)

Sounds like an exhaust gasket leak. Could be at the turbo or at the head

Sweeet lookin 1g!!!

Im glad you finally got it. Im looking forward to you bringing it back to its glory!

Hes pretty dead on with the price ranges. That's what I would price them as well.

Ive got my Classic Auto plates here in Texas. No special treatment needed, it only applies to "Antique" plates. Same cost as regular registration, no restrictions.

Its out for delivery...finally :pray:

If you've got a manual boost controller try turn the boost down a bit. That SHOULD help it.

Yea I remember back in the day after throwing a turbo back and hard piping I experienced fuel cut for the first time. It was the good ol SAFC days. Pepperidge Farm remembers :|

Sounds like good ol fuel cut

Yea he was posting about his channel on the ECMLink forum. I love his content, very detailed, meticulous, and down right b-e-a-utiful.

I was expecting it to get to you by now. I don't know why it took a detour to Georgia lol :banghead:

Hes actually finally moving to "Silicon Valley" in about 2 weeks since its now "safe" to do so. If he wasn't married to my sister....id share his info lolAnd it has pretty much been this way forever on this forum and many others. I think it seems different now because people are more sensitive...

Its actually YT moderating it as well. More off topic....but it makes me cringe so ill share. My bro-in law heads the YouTube team that censors/deletes videos/channels that they don't agree with. Covid, Trump, vaccine efficacy, misinformation/disinformation, you know...the usuals. He has the...
