beyond redline

if i do end up having trouble selling it here here then I'll bring it back up to MI where itd be easier to sellit'll be hard for someone to get it registered here, but there isnt any issues in MIThe shop that did the last bit of work on the car and the tuning said theyve seen less of a...

Well once we get it going im hoping for 10,000. More if i go get it tuned myself, otherwise I'll just leave it up to the buyer to get it tuned. I'll listen to offers too and start working on the Mods list tonight.

lol, at a fair price of course... too much invested in it in time, money and sentimental value to give it away. If I could give it to my kids I would but Im not about to let it sit for 16 more years and have it go to waste. :P

thanks born2tune... things are going very well, ive found some new hobbies that i've adapted too and family life certainly keeps me busy. Also, thanks for your service to this country as well.side note: does anyone know anyone who may be interested in taking over this project?

Hey Everyone! Im originally from Michigan. I moved down here near Murfreesboro a couple years ago to escape the harsh winters up north.A bit about my car and my situation: when I was 20 I bought a 1999 Eclipse GS-T/standard transmission. To this day it still hasnt seen snow since I stored it...

Making it an auto would be great concidering my limitations but my goal is to be able to drive a standard again. When i get my prostetic legs Im going to see how much control i have of my left leg as far as using it for pushing in the clutch. I will still have to get a hand clutch/break. Also, I...

here is a pic

Hey all, I just like to see some replies from this post, if anyone has a good idea for which turbo I should go with and maybe some specs and numbers to back it up I would appreciate it. Thanks all and Happy New Year!

I would like some sort of hand break/throttle on stearing wheel and maybe a hand clutch on shifter... Im not sure of what is offered yet... But it has to be done factory for the government to cover it. But youre ideas may come in good use, thanks for the reply, we'll keep in contact.

Hey all! Its been a while since updated but my buddy Nelsons91AWD has a good job updating for me. I appreciate it pal! I appreciate everyone’s support and info as well… Right now I am home in Michigan on leave. Ive been in San Antonio TX doing my therapy at Fort Sam Houston.I was injured...

Did some maintainance to my car... Nelsons91AWD and I... found boost leaks which caused my turbo to hit full boost late at 5500rpm, but once we fixed em it reaches full boost at 4500 so that will help a lot, and im still workin on my launch. Also did some more cleaning under the hood, wrapping...

Well this past weekend was awesome, watched my buddy (Nelsons91AWD) run a 12.79-that was really exciting-congrats to him! As for myself i only put out a 14.8 on pump-- i know its a top end turbo that i have but i expected better, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears pulled hard and felt great, but my launch...

Thanks a ton Thumper, thats just what i needed, i really appreciate it man :rocks: have a good one!!!

Well, the time is nearing... i just got back from my 3 week training and gettin back to my car- before i left i got my coolant pipe welded up and ran my car for about 20 odd minutes and had no leaks... I have an appointment on tuesday in Green Bay to get the clutch and LSD taken care of and...

:confused: I ran into a bit of a problem, when i started up the car coolant started leaking out of the main pipe behind the turbo, however the hole was on the back side of the pipe. its not real big of a hole... I was wondering if there was a way to plug that hole, or do i have to take it off...

Thanks for the responses guys, theyve been helpful... Well i went ahead and ordered the scm-3431E 57 Trim from SB today-i had the divider cut because its internally gated (for now), as well as an fmic core 24x11x3, front strut upper tower bar, also last week i bought some 880cc injectors...

What 57 Trim do you have, and what are your goals for it?

:thumb: For now (too get done b4 June), I'm just lookin to get a direct bolt on turbo with fmic, injectors, and intake pipe until I can afford everything else (probably a good year from now depending on deployment) so I can bump up the psi and have it properly tuned. And I'm tryin to find out...

-Who is using SCM-3431E turbo? http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=2195& -Is it worth it to go to external wastegate over internal on this turbo? -How much HP are people getting with this turbo and what rpm does it spool at on a 2.0 engine? -If there are any other suggestions on which...

All this is great info guys... Now how about my turbo options, ive been doin some reading and im starting to lean toward the [SCM-3431E (57 Trim with stage 3 turbine wheel)] anyone have any input on that? Here are some links...http://www.slowboyracing.com/more.php?id=2195&And as far as...

I plan on runnin 17-18psi after the fmic, turbo, injectors, Logger and SAFC, GM MAF & Translator are in place, then once i get everything else i may push 20-22psi b4 i start the internal mods... If i had the money for a 6 bolt swap id go for it, but after this motor goes im lookin to a 2.3...

Where is the mpi fuse and how exactly do i do a fuel system bleed down. If there is a link for any of this i would appreciate it very much. Plug wires were still good, we wrapped all the wires in which the plastic burned with electrical tape for now. If you have any other suggestions or comments...

Hey everyone, ive got a bit of a problem...The story is i was changing an o-ring in my injector last night and a friend was trying to bleed the fuel lines to syphen the gas because we were gonna change the fuel pump too and i had a full tank-calls for 1/2 or less. Well the idea of turning...

Sorry bout that, by ragheads i meant the ones such as terrorists (Al-Qaida and such), not just anyone. The ones specifically out there to kill. Granted there are good ppl in iraq, afghanistan etc who want peace and are on our side fighting with us. as far as a small minority that want us dead...

:dsm: My car and I. This is the beginning of a long beautiful relationship, through thick and thin. I'm ready willing and able :thumb:

Terrorism will never stop, and thats unfortunate. And being that terrorism is an act of violence-does that make it right to fight violence with an act of violence of our own? its time for the leaders of the U.S. and its allies to put their heads together and come up with something that isnt so...

Mine will be down this weekend, 60K maintainance: water pump, tensioner, bearings, timing belt, balance shaft removal; also ported and polished manifold and O2 housing, walbro 255lp installation, and leaky injector-replacing o-ring.
