Ok, so after looking through lots of the new DSM build threads being posted and getting disappointed with no updates or no thread at all I figured that I should start and keep updating one. So hope you all enjoy this and if you want to know anything or have any constructive criticism please let me know. :)
 
Alright First I should give everyone a basic overview of the car as it sits as well as a history of the car. I have always been into cars from a young age playing with hot wheels and trucks and all that stuff. I have also raced radio control cars for most of my life so I have always enjoyed the mechanical aspect of cars and making them fast. When I was 15 I started working at a shop that sold them as a way to fund my "hobby" (addiction). One of my co workers introduced me to DSM's after I told him I wanted a Subaru wagon. I know I used to be a Subaru kid, anyway my Co worker had a Panda 1g that would sometimes show up at the store. After looking at the cars and watching them perform in the videos he sent me I began to want one more and more. When I had just turned 18 I could finally afford one and began looking. That's where I found this car. It was in Green Bay WI and was in pretty rough shape. It needed link and a few other things but my friend gave it the green light as a good car to start with and it was fixable. I got the car back home and began trying to fix some of the issues with my very limited knowledge and budget. First thing I added as link as the car would hit boost cut at about 4000 rpm. I also baught some used PTE 1000 injectors and got it tuned on e85. The car was fast but sketchy and suffered from injector pug and MAF issues as well as a second gear grind. At the end of the summer needing money for college and not wanting to store it I sold it to my friend and thought I wouldn't see it again..... That changed when I baught it back this month and am back modifying it. Ok so long history over lets get to the fun stuff ;)
 
First Mod being done is Fuel (again) Those PTE injectors are just too small and old to be good so I picked up a set of FIC 1250 injectors as well as a Warbro 450 fuel pump. We threw the pump in so quick I dont have photos but will provide some when I install the injectors this weekend. I also picked up some loose end gaskets and started unearthing my old racing seat from the shootout. next on the list is dual piston calipers and hawk pads. Im also looking into building the trans or buying someones already built one so if anyone has anything let me know! Pic of my racing seat being used as a hamper. :)

Got the injectors and fuel filter installed this weekend. Sadly when trying to tune it the ecu fryed and wasnt firing the injectors :( will be sending the ecu out to ecmlink for a rebuild on monday. Hopefully in that time the car will get all its ground wires redone.
