I dailyed both my 1G and 2G for many years and dealt with all the fun that brings. The biggest thing I found over the years was making sure the maintenance stuff was up and not just worrying about more power.

DAMN, that thread is rediculously long, how can you sit there and read it all?ROFL I HATE HOA's ROFL

NICE RACK :pBut seriously, that looks nice. I've been thinking about how 'I could get some spare tires of the floor recently. Gonna have to fire up the welder.

Now might not be the best time to move to Florida and be looking for work in the construction industry. Everybody is hurting down there, but if you have enough skill you should still be able to find something good. :thumb:

Go big, from what I've seen link shouldn't have a problem with 1000's, but somebody who actually runs link could tell you for sure. Whatever you do don't go with just enough injector or you'll regret it later when you have to buy injectors again. :notgood:

It doesn't says it's a FMIC kit so I would says it's a kit that replaces the stock rubber pipes with hard pipes but the pipe with the flange doesn't make sense. Send the seller a question and ask, that usually works. ROFL

Man, some cool animals in this thread. Here's Ina (10 yr old) black lab and my daughter Ayla (7 months). Ayla loves the dog but Ina is jealous that the little one gets so much attention.

At least not the bottom one, but the top one with black down the center looks ok. It's still a damn sexy car.

DO NOT take it to just any machine shop. Ask around who is a reputable machine shop. If one doesn't exist in your area you can always send it out to one of the big DSM vendors and get the work done. If you're not getting anything done that would be considered extreme a GOOD local shop should be...

Which is which? If I had to guess the GSX wheel is on the bottom, they're 17's were the 3G's are 16's, right?

Don't worry, you'll be fine. Most tracks will give you a warning after the first time and if you go faster a second time they will kick you out. It's not a big deal or anything but if you are going faster than that I would suggest some kind of roll bar, I don't think you'll need a full cage...

The car looks like a NSX, and those aren't cheap. CRAZY

Man, are you guys in for it. My daughter was born Aug 24 last year and it completely changed my life. One of the coolest things ever though and definently wouldn't trade the experience for anything. :thumb:

So you got the fans from the same seller on ebay. They look a little different than the ones they sell now. Did the fans have a factory style connector on them or did you cut of the old ones and put them on the new fans? Looks pretty good and now they have the package for 179 plus shipping. :thumb:

You should post this on RMDSM aswell, most guys over there seem to be drag racers but I'm sure you could get some of them out to enjoy a good race with turns. ROFL

That looks like one of the wide body kits i believe Quwhees (sp?) or something like that. Look on ebay I saw them on there. I don't think they will work unless you use their bumpers and personally I think the bumpers are hideous.

I have heard bad things about both the Fidanza and the ACT flywheels but everypart has someone talking bad about them. I drove a evo 8 with a fidanza and it did seem rediculously light. It would rev like crazy and made taking off a challenge but seemed you could get used to it easily. Next...

It would seem that if you're cage was braced to the shock towers and then cross braced that you could remove the oem brace. What are you're reasons for wanting to do this? (weight savings) I would personally leave it in even with a cage but that's just me.

Well since it's my birthday I would say that I'm getting pretty drunk :thumb: . For that matter if your Irish what else are you going to be doing on that day. I hope everyone has a fun and responsible holiday, remember if your drinking please don't drive.

You can always go to SATAN but I know some of the supporting vendors to this site sell oem parts and might carry the little clips you need. Your best bet on something like that though will always be SATAN (the stealership).

Man you're crazy. How the weathers been lately I don't think I would have come back over Red Mountain Pass. Was it snowing up there because it hailed here in town? You should definently have fun trying to put that bumper on seeing as how it's for a 1Gb and I thought the top of the bumpers was...

HEY that's my birthday and I don't like sharing so back off. ROFL But on a serious note congratulations and hope all goes well. I found out in January that I'm going to be a dad so I can relate to how you feel. :thumb:

The driver is lucky he was the only one in the car. If there would have been someone in the passenger seat I doubt they would still be with us. Thats one lucky S.O.B.

Unless I'm missing something (could be long day at work), the only subframe bushings on thier site I see are for a 1G and the front subframe only. Can you supply a direct link? Sorry if I'm a bonehead. ROFL

KARKING should be a reputable vendor and I believe they are a site sponsor. I would shy away from the JDM motors. They are no better than ours unless it somes with the bigger injectors and a 16G. Your best bet would be to search the forums and read up on the subject. You can't usually go wrong...

The block can not be BACKWARDS, the head can have the intake/exhaust on other sides but not the block. You are supposed to use your tubo head and the 2.4L block so I would think you would be fine. I guess if the timing components are on the wrong side then it wouldn't work but that wouldn't seem...

I imagine the "design" is real close. OBX is known for taking existing products and "reverse engineering" them in a cheap way. If the materials are of the same quality on a piece like this you can't go wrong. If it was something more mechanical or had lots of moving parts I would say stay away...

Are you making this into an all out drag car? It seems strange otherwise with the intake facing forward. Why not do a top mount design like a Shearer manifold? The manifold itself looks great though.

All 2G door handles are the same as well as sebring/avengers of the same years. The 1G door handles are different. While you are getting new door handles I would reccomend purchasing the kit to repair/strengthen the handles aswell. Have fun I know it can be a pain in the @ss. ROFL

Sad to see it go but I'm glad you're happy with who it's going to. I hope to see new race updates involving the yellow bannana just with a new driver. :thumb:

Can't see the picture so I can't tell you what looks good. Also do you have a 1GB or a 1GA? That can make a difference.

As for making the flange work in Acad 2007 you need to change the objects into a mass group and then under the groups properties go in and change them out from additive (your overall flange) and subtractive (your runners and bolt holes).

I surelly wouldn't reccomend AutoCAD, I work with Architectural Desktop 2007 all day which includes autocad and you would have a hell of a time designing a tubular header. As far as mechanical modeling programs I have no idea but it seems some people do and I would like to know.

If you already extruded the object the edges should be there, you will just have to go under view and change shading to flat shaded so you can see the part properly. Hope that helps and you can figure it out. :thumb:

Well I can't open up the file to take a look but Congratulations :rocks: . What kind of device are you using for tuning, DSMlink, AEM? I bet traction is really hard to come by with 500whp and FWD. Do you have anything done suspension wise to plant all that power or just slicks? Anyways congrats...

I don't believe he's selling the car piece by piece just extra parts he has laying around. Atleast that's what I hope, if not I wish I could afford his car right now.

Look at the dates before you start posting :nono: , they just keep getting older and older. ROFL

Talk about bringing something back from the dead. Are you going around and replying to any thread that talks about evo pistons. POST WHORE ROFL

EBAY most of the time or in the classifieds or on DSMTRADER I would say to be the best places. Keep looking and don't just jump at the first thing and you can find them cheap. :thumb:

That is definently not the same sound I had when my thermostat went out. It has to be a moving part because it seem s to be rev dependent. I would check your oil level just to be sure and try to isolate where the sound is coming from the best you can. I wouldn't imagine it's the throw out...

It most likeky is your thermostat. Replace it with a genuine Mitsu part or you will have this problem again.

Looks good but I don't care for the blue in the middle of the seats. But it has to be an improvement over the stockers. :rocks: :thumb:

Let's see some dyno charts and some pics or better yet movies of it and get you out of the newb status. Would you like to explain how you accomplished shutting of the supercharger for higher revving or are you running them both at higher rpm's? :thumb:

Polk makes tubular control arms for the 1G but I have not seen anyone make a tubular K member. I'm sure you would sell a ton of these, hope you can produce enough fast enough. :thumb:

Come on from here to that track you're only talking 6.5 maybe 7 hours and if driving the dsm's maybe faster. One hell of a trip home if you break something though :notgood: .

That is one interesting color combination, but in some strange way I kind of like it.

Yes but even some RS and GS models came with the body kit so you might get lucky.

Do you need the engine harness or the main harness. PM me and I may be able to help with the engine harness or the Main harness.

Yes the fenders are the same I bought some off a RS for my GSt and they are the same except if you have the factory body kit they might not have the holes/connectors for the body kit.

I had some of the same questions as you when I moved from Florida to Colorado in my GS-t but it's not all that bad. Some good snow tires and take it easy if it looks sketchy and you should be fine. I don't think there would be a better route because you will always have to go over a pass sooner...
