no joke, decided to stop dumping money into it and just build a street car Evo.Sad too, my buddy just finished my center consol piece.Nitrous purge button, Nitrous Arm switch, electric water pump switch, and electric fan switch. All light up different colors, and I have a label maker with...
God I hope within the next few months, I think I've said that for the last 6 months or so though lolI really do want to get it done and ready for the shootout. Even if I'm not able to be competitive in the Q16 (now Q32) class I would like to be able to at least be able to enter and compete in...
Got some more parts in today. I got a package from Summit the other day with random AN fittings and some other fittings needed to finish up in the engine bay.Got a package from ExtremePSI today. I needed the port for my Tial Wastegate but since the shipping was going to be more than the...
Here is my simple seat rail mounts. I simply used square steel tubing from lowes and for the front I just used OEM nuts that are used to hold the carrier bearings as well as the fuel cell on the car.For the rear I just used some long bolts, lock washer, and a spacer.Got my 50cal ammo...
I had an issue with the rear mount for my 1G auto. The mount was at least one inch too tall. I contacted extreme psi as well as Avid about this, the problem was never resolved by either party. This was a couple years ago. The trans and timing belt sides were fine. Also even with the 90a...
Please do as I feel the same about mine haha!I just got some steel square tube and mounted it where the factory rails went. The Kirkey seat doesn't sit center on it because if it did it would be off center of the steering wheel so the seat has to go over towards the driveshaft tunnel hump...
Some updates.......Got a sheet of carbon fiber in today for the custom gauge cluster as well as the center console piece. My buddy originally did it in ABS plastic which looked good, but I wanted to liven up the interior a little since the car will be pretty much gutted out and have a few...
I don't have any drive time on mine plus my car is a track only car but I have megan coilovers and I just replaced the springs with Eibach springs to the spring rates I wanted.
Carbonetics carbon fiber hatch came in today.Went on real easy and fit just like the stock hatch. I didn't have to do any modifications to it or even adjust anything after bolting up all the hardware off the factory hatch.Here it is with the FAL window installed on the car.My...
Took some parts to get powder coated.Buschur Racing mirror delete plates, CAS case, Transmission brackets for the cable, Headlight bracket, brackets custom made for the electric water pump and the Sparktech (M&W) Ignition box.Buschur Racing Mirror delete plates installedThese things...
UPDATE ON DRIVESHAFT SHOP DRIVE SHAFT ISSUE.......I spoke with Tad at driveshaft shop about my driveshaft being too short, sticking out of the transfer case 1&3/4" I took some measurements like he asked for and we discussed this issue. I will be sending the driveshaft back to them to get made...
Some parts from JNZ....New bolts for oil filter housing, new oil pump sproket, new bolt for oil dipstick tubeMagnus adjustable FPRFor those curious its a bit smaller that a Aeromotive A1000. I'll take a comparision shot of the two when I get the chance.
Going again for the 4th year in a row, vacation already put in when I seen the dates on highboost.Hopefully I'll get my POS finished by then and enter the Q32 class.Either way, spectating or competing I'll be there again.
Some more goodies ordered and on the way!I'm currently out of town visiting my son who lives in Greenville, NC.Carbonfiber hatch (I sold the frankscustom fiberglass hatch since stock size glass or lexan would not fit) from carbonetics. Thanks Sergio!This hatch will work with the FAL...
I had to use different hardware yes. The bolts supplied were incorrect. I also have the bulfab front chromoly crossbar so I got the trans and driver side mounts on and then had to use my engine hoist to pull the motor up to get the bolt to slide through the front mount. Its a complete pain in...
Some parts came in for the new radiator setup.Frontline Fab thermostat housing plate, water pump plate, and CAS coverFAL shrouded fanUnfortunately this is the wrong fan, FAL-123 I need FAL-125. Working with STM to get this resolved.
No since they don't make one specifically for a DSM and i'd have to take measurements and have it custom built by them.Driveshaft shop already makes one for the DSM
I apologize, when I say one piece I assume people know what i'm talking about. DSS is the only company that I know of that makes a driveshaft for our cars so when anyone says something about an aftermarket driveshaft its going to be a driveshaft shop driveshaft. Just depends on if its the...
What most do and is the easiest is to switch to a one piece driveshaft which eliminates the front carrier bearing and just make a loop to bolt on there.
Thanks! It's been a LONG drawn out build, but I've just been taking my time so I can build it exactly the way I envision it.Oil pressure gauge and electric water pump came in today. Now waiting on the parts from Frontline Fab, STM, and Radiator to come in so I can start mocking up this...
I had one on my 1G Auto but sent it back to FP and upgraded to the Super99HTZI had the FP3794HTA dual BB with the Tial .82 ARThere are a lot of Evo's running the 3794HTA and can give you some numbers to base off of.For my car which will be a track only car I wasn't concerned with...
Setup change 1,001 lolSold the whole AN radiator setup and will be switching to a half size radiator and electric water pump.Order a half size radiator, FAL shrouded fan, meziere universal electric water pump, thermostat housing adapter plate, water pump blockoff plate, and CAS cover from...
Yea it was old as program from the late 90's early 00's that is nowhere near to tuning with link. So basically it had a base program on the eprom and then the AFC was used to make any adjustments if needed. That lasted a month or two until i switched to Link V3 with SD option.We used that...
What are these parts you speak of?Aaron, has anyone spoke with DSS about this? Have them make the DS a little longer to take up the gap.Because yeah, I agree with that much of the DS yoke sticking out no wonder it ends up getting twisted.Like having your pecker half way in and...
Maybe I'm just one of the few unlucky ones then. I bought the kit when it first came out I believe, The bracket that bolts to the lower part of the block is just billet, it isn't anodized. When I installed the kit I could not place the belt on the outer pulley of the crank pulley. In this...
A few updates to this neverending build lolFinally got some lume in to finish the chassis and engine harness.Its a Painless EFI kitGoing to try and get some work on it tonight and hopefully make some progress.I'd like to get this thing done and over to my buddies shop so they can...
Chris, is that a Franks custom fiberglass hatch?If so, did you have the problem like i did and the FAL back window was too big to fit like stock?Thats why I ended up selling mine and will be buying a CF hatch. I was wanting it to be able to fit and seal and not have to use rivets.
Here is my take on this,Okay if your turbo is leaking oil into your IC piping then you have a bad seal on your compressor housing or something isn't sealed correctly. This could have been cause by too much boost (pressure) on the motor and not enough vent. In my opinion running a stock turbo...
I notice all that rust on the strut tower.If you're going to do something do it right. There is no point in using a PCV valve if you're running a catch can.You can quote and tell me how someone on some website, or forum did his and said it works but look at all the guys going fast and...
a little bit of progress.I got my manifold back from Boostin Performance. I sent it off to get coated, I asked for the silver finish but when I received it they had coated it black. Bummed out about the error I called and talked to Devin. He told me that the black has a higher heat...
Couple questions,You said your PCV valve seems good, and you re plumbed the catch can?Why do you have a PCV valve if you're running a catch can?What size AN is your oil drain line?
If you're referring to the pace of which I'm building this POS you are correct sir.Got a little bit done this weekend.Tackled the chassis wiring harness.......Here is what it looked like beforewires removedend result, I may end up removing more before I finalize it and...
Compressor housing polishedAlso ordered a Tach since the factory one doesn't go high enough. I think I'm going to make a cluster and place all of my gauges where the factory cluster goes.Defi 80mm
Man, everybody and their brother is switching to the FP Super99. I can think of 4 of us that are running or going to be running one with a Bradco converter.Congrats on your IFO placing!
