OP is a complete ####ing moron, because, you know, they had cars when they drafted the constitution. i had to come on here and comment on this idiocy and i have'nt posted on here in YEARS.thanks hal for the entertainment.
and i broke off two extractors in the studs!!! anyone know any tricks for getting the studs out with the extractors in them? im gonna pull the head off tomorrow if no one can give any advice. im soooo pissed right now. dammit!:mad:
im buying front and rear camber kits from RRE this week then itll get aligned. and of course i saved my stock stuff lol i didnt drop $1700 on these things to be paperweights after a couple of years.
did you actually read what i typed?they dont. at all. theyre 4mm taller than the stockers and they clear the knuckle by about 8mm. i trimmed the rear fender lip just to be safe but i doubt it would have even rubbed there. no spacers, nothing but rims and tire there.
yeah my dumb ass little...
with a 45mm backspacing. 225/35/19 tires. i have no spacers. i searched this god damn site for hours and then just said f*ck it and bought them. one of the few times ive been lucky on a whim ROFL
enjoy the pics
leon, :thumb: i cant freakin believe you people. this car is sick. if you only knew the potential of a RWD DSM. coupled wth a lightweight chassis and pimp ass looks WTF what more could you ask for? yeah it could use some more flash under the hood but shit if you know anything about DSMs then you...
any pics of this on a 2ga? im buying one:sneaky: ive been looking for a good intercooler for awhile and it looks like i just found it :thumb: i would need some piping with it though. pretty please:D i sent you an email on your site albert. ill be looking to get the FMIC and COP setup sometime...
it took me awhile to be able to post this. the colt was totaled 2 months ago. my friend was driving it to my new house and hit some sand or a dip in the road and lost control. i was driving the moving van about 50 ft. behind him so there was no doubts about him racing it. he ended up in the...
nah. been waiting on this:thumb:got the new converter. its so sweet looking. i dont even want to put it in the car :lol: 8" with anti-balloon plate, 4400 stall.some pics of the old one for reference. there was some thought put into the new one wouldnt you say? doesnt look...
sorry for this late ass response. life is hectic and i hardly get a chance to come here anymore. i hardly pioneered this trail. eric plebani, dave buschur, and a guy named dave perino all did it before me and im sure theres others as well. maybe not in a car like mine but the consept is the...
11.2 didnt get a mph on this run. 17 psi on pump gas. ditched the POS GM maft for a 2G maf and it runs so much better its not even funny. my convertor took another shit so im ditching it and gonna have someone make me a one piece billet convertor. i guess the buschur convertors dont like 1.4...
good history lesson but its flawed a little. the 71-73 dodge colts were actually 1st gen galants not lancers. over here in america anyway. it wasnt until 1974 when japan changed to the 2g body style that they changed the name to lancer. and the 4G series motor has been around since the mid to...
well i figured it out. you have to tap into the black wire with the white stripe. if you turn the car on and unplug the coil pack it will be the only one with power. 9117
well it looks like i found the problem to not being able to use a tach, http://www.egauges.com/pdf/AutoMeter/561.pdf , scroll to the bottom and youll see how to hook it up to a mitsu. the problem is, i went and bought this and theres a discrepancy with the wiring. on the above link it shows to...
eric plebani for having the testicular fortitude to think outside the box and mount a bad ass motor in a car the wrong way. then david buschur for putting his money where his mouth was to make up adaptor plates, flexplates, and convertors, to mount a very common, cheap, and easily buildable...
so you actually put it on the flowbench? or your just assuming because you want to feel like you got a good deal? seriously. its not all about flow. its about velocity and other things as well.
well i exchanged my 10" rims for some 8" and went with a different offset so i could slam the car in the back with no rubbing. stock josh came over and we jacked it up and lowered the coilovers down. heres what it looks like.its sitting high in the front as the tranny is out of...
got all my tranny parts together today. i also took off my valve cover and repainted it because it was ratty looking. i found some red paint with a wrinkle finish. it looks pretty good. reminescent of the ls6 stuff. hopefully ill be driving it again by the end of february.
its gonna be a little bit. the only thing i half assed on the whole car ws the tranny. guess what let loose this weekend?:toobad: ive got the hookup for a full race built tranny i just need to get my parts. the new tranny will be pretty gnarly with a transbrake. when that thing goes back in ill...
well, with the help of my friend stock josh we got the car fairly well tuned. it idles at 14.5 a/f and runs around 11.5 a/f at full boost/throttle. before we tuned it it was running in the low 9s for a/f. it is honestly the fastest car ive ever owned. and this is at only 12 psi. im still having...
lol, im fat but i used to body build and i still carry alot of muscle. im not fat like you would think of someone at 270. most people think im around 240. im 6'. id love to be around 210. thats my goal one of these days.
im hoping to hit 9s eventually. i weighed the car. im not happy with the results. if its right the car weighs 2180 without me in it. i weigh 270 so itll be close to 2500 lbs when all is said and done. i wanted it to be around 2200. theres not too much i can do to lighten it either.:toobad: oh...
