I do love endurance road racing on the international level, and F1 is an amazing series to watch, but I'm a huge fan of the GT1 World Championship. I just can't get enough of these production cars. I was at the recent race at Yas Marina, was too busy trying not to scream like a lil' girl as I...

Yes, $8.50/tank.

His original plans for the car was breaking Land Speed Records in a I-4 FWD convertible, but they changed for the better. http://douro-oni.com/memberView.cfm?ID=1 <- read the story tabIn regards to Spyder Vs Coupe choice...

Average about KD2.5 per full tank. I think it's about 60fils/liter for 98oct. It equals to about USD 8.50And no...no E85 in Kuwait. The only thing related to corn is imported in tin can's, and even that probably has petroleum based byproducts in it.

It's great, isn't it? We get 98oct here, cheaper than 89oct stateside.

^ That blows....literally

Have you posted photos since you mounted those bad boys? You only have one front/rear shot w/out the tire in your profile. I bet they look "too much nice".:D

Amazing shots on the track....any video coverage?

Pics Please... interested.

Have you done your basic maintenance on the a/t, ie. filter and fluid? I had similar issues and after basic maint. I got six months of trouble free until I needed a rebuild.There is more info similar to what your describing, when I searched I found a lot other than this...

If you think about it, since the flapper is blocked off, welded?, then how will you expel exhaust? I think Yes...you will have to set up an external wastegate on the exhaust mani.

Intercontinental kick in the shin, ouch. I'm sure Kingstone was just reading along and ran into some misinformation which he felt needed correcting. Overlooking the dates on old posts happens to us all. :)

Is that a SAAB? I had no idea they had so much trunk space, awesome.

What in the world? (Technoviking) Did everyone on the street that day drink the bong water?

I think that plastic hose might be from the radiator coolant drain, bottom drivers side, it has a butterfly style valve to open it. It does dip down low and you can't really push it up, you could trim it if you like.

Before spending on a rebuild...basic maint. might buy you some time so you can save up for a rebuild later.http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/newbie-forum/334144-auto-no-3rd-reverse.html#post151841371

I think I may have those decals and never really thought about them being rare. I'll have to post a photo of their location, which is on the bottom door jamb/running board when you open the doors.

Directly hard wire them with out the use of connectors? I'm about to try it in a few days myself, also converted to new fogs.

Hilarious, but still sounds made up...funny read.

If a 300zx is what you really want and will be happy with, then do it, but if you just want a change of pace by driving around a different car, then don't. Your DSM is really nice and you have hard work put into it that i'm sure you are proud of. Like mentioned above, it's really your call.

I have been running 4 lugs up front for years, but not by choice, busted 1 wheel stud on each side :(. I should get it fixed now that I have been reminded.

Are you talking about the "exhaust" or "intake" manifold? Sounds like maybe you blew a a gasket either on your exhaust or intake, happened to me before on both, weird sound when it happened and poor performance at WOT after that. Possibly boost leak somewhere as well.

Good to see the car being put back together with the help of dedicated friends...Good stuff. Btw...don't forget about Murphy's law...i'm assuming there will be a cover on the cam gears/timing belt this time around.

Clean ride, not bad powder coat on the wheels, you matched the red accents onto them as well, good work. Your car would be complete if the whole body was C/F.

keep searching...I believe I read a thread about the subject, it was pretty informative too.

Sporty? Do you mean road performance sporty or just sporty "looking?" I thought they were the same car.

I didn't like this stick-on "rear lip" idea from the beginning, but I was hoping for the best because so many invested into it. I don't like stickers on a car, ruins the clean lines. IMO, you're better off doing what others do to the front bumper cover, just paint it for the same look you'll...

for a good cause, why not...voted.

It looks like Darth Vader, and i'm not a sci-fi fan...but in the end, stock is always the sexiest.

That's good news. Hope all goes well.

That's probably just an aftermarket unit, or maybe from another factory vehicle. My factory unit was same as yours, but I replaced the whole thing with a Kenwood unit that has CD/Ipod capabilities.

"Thanks alot guys. Look at her name closely. :]".... "Daytona Star- Morgan"You are dedicated...Congrats on the new arrival, happy for you.

^^^ In our weather, I think the turbo must need a rebuild of it's seals at that mileage. Since I'm assuming you have checked everything such as basic maint., then you might try swapping the turbo, thats if you have a spare/backup.

How long have you been boosting the t25 @15psi in this weather? And whats the mileage on it? You may have had the smoke for a bit and your Cat was breaking the smoke down to unnoticeable levels. The turbo can have a very small coolant/oil leak within itself which would make it hard to catch...

Funny thing is, those drip mouldings were the first thing i removed and tossed out, to clean up the lines of the car.
