Sounds like that was Ross and Alvaro.

I managed to get the car running. It's doing well. Responding to throttle. Have a slight tune on it so far. Only issue i'm running into is the heater core hoses stopping the q45 from opening all the way.Hope to have some more pictures and videos for you guys.

Haha, ofcourse!Well, I grabbed the camera and shot a few photos.PS: I know my hood isn't closing properly. I relocated my brake fluid reservoir and I need to adjust it down because it's not clearing the hood; which I feared but went with it anyway.

OCTOBER 30thWell, after a long week I finally made it to the car a couple days ago. I managed to get the following done off my list.-Finish wiring the siren -Mount siren in place of ABS module -Install drivers side brake line -Install Passenger axle -Install passenger side brake line...

Depending on the picture, the 5 spoke wheels are 17x8.5 mb weapons +22, the multiple spoke, gunmetal are the 05/06 Evo 8/9 mr wheels. Which are 17x8 +38Correct!

Well, hoping to get to the car today. Here are my objectives-Finish wiring the siren -Mount siren in place of ABS module -Install drivers side brake line -Install Passenger axle -Install passenger side brake line -Install and modify water pipe for HX40 -install Turbo, manifold, and o2 housing...

LMAO I was waiting for somebody to notice. I'm just a troll. I like evo's and STI's all the same. I just decided that having a fast car was more exciting, that's all ;)

To be honest man, it's hard. I love my GSX. My ownership with this car will likely outlast any of my others. I picked up my black GSX for a trade so my financial investment in that was not immediate cash; otherwise I would not own it. While building my Evo 8 I neglected my GSX for a good amount...

I need to hire you to get my car too like that! I wish I had been able to find a 2g in that condition when I was shopping, still excited to see where this goes.What was your process on detailing the car? Is zaino relatively easy to find? Never heard of it.

October 23rdWell, I started a bit more last week. The car sat for awhile while I was waiting on the head gasket. After some downtime and studying I had a little time to get to the garage. I timed the motor and then did a a quick cleaning on my timing cover.All clean!Because this is...

Man, those X rims look good on there. Will look awesome!

Excited to see what you do with this one, looks like quite the find :thumb:

Bummer to see that your radiator setup didn't go as well as planned Corey. But glad to see you're still updating your build. Love your car everytime i see it!

October 17Well guys, I haven't forgotten about my GSX. It was at the shop for about 3 weeks back in June/July and once I had gotten the car back I started playing more with my evo 8. Mainly because it was summer and it was nice to be out driving something rather than wrenching. So after nearly...

interesting, sad to hear these things about a guy with so much background in the DSM community as well as our local area.Point Noted.

I put together a few meets this last summer. Unfortunately the amount of DSM's in the northwest has diminished vastly. After the 08-09 area, it seemed like the community really died out. It doesn't help that I can't seem to keep mine on the road either. Lmao.For those of you who are new to...

I have installed evo x rims at 18X8.5 with a +38 offset. The STR are going to be 5mm closer to the quarter panel. Depending on ride height and tire size, they may fit with no rolling. Otherwise you may need some fender work. This is my opinion, which isn't always the best; maybe somebody else...

Off to a great start!!Lucky you for scoring a talon with the rare rear quarter panel windows :hellyeah::hellyeah::applause::applause:

Oh man, I know the feeling battling roads. My friend bought my car from Chicago, and drove it back. Needless to say, it never had a clear bra or a taped front end for that drive. So paint will be necessary. I haven't driven my car enough to do much cosmetic damage ROFL.Out of curiosity, what...

If you're speaking about the intake, that is not necessarily because the oil seal on the turbo is bad, that is most likely from the blow-by from the motor. Pressure from the valve cover is pushed into the intake, with that air comes oil. Which is normal. And if that is the case, the oil will...

Man, sounds like you're in for the long haul. There isn't much around the area I have dealt with personally. A lot of knowledgeable members around that can help you, but as far as "local" shops there is not much. There is English Racing in Vancouver. PINA motorsports has gone on to other things...

Yikes, those seals need some attention. Not an expensive fix, nor difficult.If you're getting exhaust gas into your air system that would be a good explanation as to why it's not completely burped and you're still getting air bubbles.When it was idling, did you notice the overflow tank gain...

Knowing the color of the smoke would be helpful. If the smoke is blue it's oil burning. If the smoke is white you're burning coolant.Having oil in your intake pipe is normal, not necessarily "good", but normal. It's due to the blow-by from your motor. A way around this is collecting the oil...

Looks like a good starting point for what you're looking to do! The color is great, wish they had manufactured more orange 2g's.What type of mods are you looking at doing? What are your goals in terms of track times?

Carbon roof looks good ;)Never really been a fan, specifically because it's not textured the same as carbon products. I remember asking you years ago about plastidip, then all of the sudden it exploded and everybody began to dip their cars.Car looks good man, hopefully mine will look half...

THe hood is an interesting touch, nonetheless your progress is great. The spoilerless look is my favorite. Do you plan on doing anything else mechanically?

What do you need help with?

Hopefully things work out at the track man, be sure to get some video ;) I've been debating on moving my AFPR to that side as well, text me some photos.Sounds like you got a little work ahead of you to make the track date, hopefully you'll find some free time to get to them.

Man Corey, last time I checked out your car must have been ages ago. Are you still running your stock 7 bolt? Or has the built motor gone in?In terms of your motor build, I saw you intended on running the 100mm crank. Was this in a 4g64 block? Also, did you look into running a 156mm rod to...

Corey, thanks. It's been a rough week for me with this car. I've needed time away from it to really appreciate it. Went on to new platforms and missed the GSX and just wrenching a bit. Also, your 7-bolt appear different for sure. I'm not sure really what this is in the 6-bolt. But every block I...

May 20thAlright guys got a lot of news. I picked up a blown block from a local guy. The car had skipped timing and put a valve right into the top of the piston. So It was a perfect advocate for my needs (being a block and a crank). I began to disassemble the bottom end, I couldn't believe...

May 15thWell, I got the motor to a friends house who had good lighting and indoors. Every last main bearing was toast and especially the thrust bearings. It's apparent that there was movement in the crank. The rods appear to be okay as well as the pistons. I stumbled across this before...

May 10thWell, I didn't post much because I was being lazy. But on Saturday a friend came home from living in Montana for the year. So we welcomed her home at alki! Mainly Evo owners, it was nice to get out and see some rides for a change. I'm so used to sitting at home and working or doing...

May 12thWell, i had to source my own parts and doing so pushed back the date of getting the repairs done to the GSX.It will be dropped off the 19th for body work. Then afterwards, I'll be removing the motor to install new timing side components and to clean the bay up a bit.I have...

Thanks Tyler and Kyle,Yeah the bolt on t3 has worked really well for my circumstances. Both financially and for the car. I don't know a ton about this block, some but not enough for me to feel safe really pushing it.I agree, I have only been in one accident where it was my fault. But I...

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner :p

Kyle - I probably will, and honestly want to. But as of now I need this car to run for summer :rocks:. Just need to find some money....... :rolleyes:Matt - Will do, I was just up north chillin with Bryan. Might be headed back up to pick up some stuff from Jake. What's going on with your car?

May 5th, 2014I was on my way home from Salem, I had just taken a final and was running on absolutely no sleep. I had pulled an all nighter and could not wait to get home. I was eager to get home because I was going to be pulling my FP Green off the car and trading it for an HX40 that night. I...

Max, never saw any full interior shots til now. Car looks great. DON'T PAINT IT GREY! Red already looks soooo good.You do need 2gb talon gear on it tho :thumb:Car looks good man, keep it up,

Now i feel stupid, ROFL.I need to read more meticulously. I thought your response was in regard to the internal modifications of the head. Not the head itself. But then I read the comment and realized he mentioned flow, but then listed internal components. Which had me backwards.Unless...

You're saying that a stock unmolested 1g head can be last to 1000hp, or more specifically can supply a car with enough air to make 1000hp? I may be misunderstanding you, but that's a pretty bold fact for a 1g head.And say it could do such things, wouldn't it make sense that a modified head in...

I should have said this first, car looks great man, being from the Northwest I know it's hard to find a quality DSM. So I understand the want to do it yourself. Excited to see the progress and final product!Not sure if you're asking about what people do after replacing the cruise control. A...

Not to thread jack, but was this a recent move? I'd assume with the GTR things have changed.

Tom - The preciseness of that install was great. Interested to see the exhaust. Boost activated cutout???BTW, I love that your videos are 10-20 minutes. You may laugh at this, but I literally make time in my day as well as a good meal/snack and a beer just to sit down and watch the video.Ricky

At this point, being that 2014 hasn't happened yet; I would assume 2015 hasn't been planned yet. And if it was contacting them directly would probably be a more efficient route.

Very nice matt! I'll update the list! Let me know if you need help!

We'll talk soon man! Hopefully picking up the HX40 tomorrow night. If the machine shop hustles up on the head I may be able to get the GSX to this meet.However I am going to have my o2 housing and FP Manifold ceramic coated again, but turn around is only 5 days.

It has been evident that our community has been needing a good get together!Where: Alki Beach The plan: Meet at Alki Beach and go to dinner at Pegasus Pizza. Time: Meet at 6 leave for dinner at 7:30.This is NOT DSM specific, I will be driving my Evo because we know my GSX is likely to never...

Standards did in fact come with cruise. Matter of fact, that is one of the first things people remove to clean up the bay.

WRONG.. Those are the new 2015 evolut... sti.
