What city are you planning on moving to? Cops vary quite a bit by area.Two plate state. In my experience they don't pull you over just for that but they will ticket you for it if they have you pulled over for something else.As Far as smog issues I've never been to a referee so I can't...

I used gum remover for carpets to get that goo off. Comes in big bottles you can use with a spray nozzle. Goes a lot faster.

Your windows will be down when your at the track. You'll also want as much visibility as possible so no tint.

If FP is recommending the 3052 I think I would just go with that. Of course I already happen to have one so take it with a grain of salt.As others have stated I think it's a lot harder to learn to drive with a fast car as it does foster the development of bad habits such as not...

I've been wondering the same thing.My concern with the Evo pistons is the offset for the wrist pin. When installing the pistons in a DSM engine the piatons are 180 degrees off.

I've got a few I'll send in tomorrow(gotta find the CD's) Got some nice ones of me at Thunderhill and a really good one of me in the corkscrew at Laguna Seca.

Linky no worky

Slap a 14b in there.

Phil remember all the parts you want for this engine are 6-bolt parts i.e. a 90-early 92 engine. water pump, front case etc.For the boost pressures you are going to run the ARP head studs are fine. Leave the L 19 stuff to the 35+ psi guys.You are going to use 4g63 adjustable cam gears...

Other drivers will respect a good driver over a good car. Tighten the nut behind the wheel.:thumb:

Phil you can use 91-94 coil packs with the 2g wiring harness. You can't use the 90 coil pack as the connector plug is different. I just took my 2g coils and mounted them to the 1g bracket as they were newer (why use the old ones I figured). Then just mount it to the IM like stock.

The girdle helps to keep the main bearings from fretting. This is a problem more common with the 100mm cranks. I think it's cheap insurance for $150.00. It's not mandatory just a good idea. Call Sean over at Full Function and ask his advice. He's got way more experience at this than me. PM me...

Don't forget to have the machine shop weld on a bung for your knock sensor.

Do me a favor and get that main girdle. It's really best to give it to the machine shop with the engine so they can line bore the block with the girdle installed. You'll be happy you did it later.Look forward to seeing you at the track too. Be nice to not be the only DSM beating up on the...

I've been thinking about your turbo sizing question for the last day or so. The bigger turbos we've been discussing get their higher flow rates at higher boost pressures. If you're only going to run 22 psi you are giving up the advantage a larger turbo will have over a smaller one. At 20 psi...

HK$ 3037S is the same turbo as the FP3052. Only difference is the hotside. MY 3037S was a .73 A/R. FP3052's A/R is .70. Same difference...

A few things to consider for your build.I would recommend a main girdle for your bearing caps. This will help to keep your main bearings happy as you bomb around the track. The lack of a main girdle in the G4CS can lead to fretting of the main bearings over time.To make your conversion...

BoostFrenzy is correct I run a 3052. I am currently in the finishing stages of my 2.4 build I'll post my findings of that setup with the 3052 when I finish it. Don't hold your breath that's going to take some time.What I can comment on is the 3052 on my stock 7 bolt bottom end with built...

^ Yeah what he said;)

Yeah me:thumb:What do you want to know?:D

Time attack results here:Buttonwillow 2009 Final Results!

Thunderhill Raceway has four configurations. Normal and CW, both with or without the bypass.Reno-Fernley raceway in Fernley Nv. is another one to add to the list. Only problem I can see is that it has so many configurations that it would be a bear to list them all.

It's nice to have Full Function as my local DSM shop:D

I'm not advocating people go out and buy a 35r for roadcourses. Since he has one already there are ways to mitigate it's size is all.

As far as lag coming out of corners just get on the gas sooner. That way you are spooled on corner exit or you can drive around lag with tools such as left foot braking. :sneaky:

I wonder if Doc will want me to instruct again? Maybe I should log in once and awhile...ROFL

I rolled my rears years ago so I can't say if it's necessary or not. My fronts are unmolested other than removing one of the fender lining bolts for my normal track rims:)

Any Evo wheel will work. The MR BBS's are 2lbs lighter so spend your money however makes you happy. Personally I use stock Evo VIII wheels because they are cheap.

2nd set of track rims= Evo wheels with 255/40/17 R- compounds. 'nuff said

As stated above it's your alignment, specifically your toe setting. I run a lot of negative camber and don't wear out the inside of the tire because I have a proper toe setting.:thumb:

ACT 2100 with street disc will be fine.

Tubular suspension components for 2g FWD.

I agree that nothing beats seat time. However pneumo has a good point. It might be beneficial for some of our members to watch and learn a little at first.

Evo's might be butt ugly but drive one before writing them off.:D

Nice. At least you didn't go through the corkscrew sideways like I did last time:D PS fluid on the tires is bad :confused:

Martin your e-mail hates me :P

I can personally tell you that you can make a FWD 2g oversteer:)

Let me stick by big ol' nose in here.As far as 1g vs. 2g flexi-flier bodies. I own both. Now it has been along time since I drove my 2g stock but I just don't remember it being as flexi as my 1g.Center dif? Who needs a center dif? I'll stay FWD and save the 300 lbs. thank you. I seem to...

As far as handling goes. My FWD 2g will tighten its line under acceleration, not under steer. It's all in how you set it up.:)

It looks like this when that happens :mad: You can see how far down the upper timing cover sagged. Keep those turbo bolts tight!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fhhnU88bA

Didn't know you were there. I was one of the drivers of the Starion:DUnfortunately I was only able to drive on Saturday. When I left Saturday night we were in 15th place down from a high of 13th. According to team members we weren't able to run the last hour of the race. We had been hit...

Martin welcome to my world. Interesting place isn't it?ROFL

Meh Evo's are easy to drive...

What's the possibility of removing the stock ones and having someone mill some Delrin replacements since the car is floating on jack stands?

Actually Fernley is 30 miles past Reno:cool:

At what point are you spooling now?

Why not come out to Thunderhill?

Well I thought that one was going to choke after he pulled down the 1/4 of a burger with bun...:cool:
