1997 TSi AWD..stock..to...NOT!

[beendenied]

Jealous much? This is the setup slated for the car. DNP manifold/o2 housing, 38mm Tial WG, Td06 20g

But as you can see, there's a nice gap between the wg and o2 housing. It could theoretically run, just stupid loud. I'm waiting on a spacer.

 

[SupremeDsm]

Nope im not Jealous. My turbo cost more than that whole set up but thats a whole different story. Wait until I release my build thread. Looking good though. Keep up the good work. Love seeing people make progress on dsm's.

why would someone get rid of the 2gb front bumper and put on a 2ga?

Post more pics of interior and engine please!

Im jealous.....I can't find an awd for under 4k in my area

 

[tonyseagle]

What are the two springs you have on your o2 housing for? Resemble the one I have on my oil dipstick from STM.

This. 2gb talons are sexy.

My comment didn't go through I see. He got in a fender bender, that didn't destroy the bumper completely, but the guy went and replaced it with a 2ga front. I am definitely going to invest the 2gb front. $$$

Thanks dude, there's a few things that I'm talking care of. Not bad for 14 years hehe. Plus, I've got my '95 to pull from. I'll be posting up more detailed pics as I go on.

Definitely need to replace the pass airbag fo sho.

 

[beendenied]

Just a couple more pics to throw up.

Got my PR fmic fitted on from my gsx. This one has the stock splash shield still, dremel action ftw. If you'd like a pic of that for any reason, I'll get one.

New and the old

Beautiful. Looks like a car here in the Bay that I almost bought it for my Girlfriend.... But what do we need with three AWD DSM's at the house? Haha, but really, very clean car. Glad to see it here on 'Tuners. Good luck with the build!

 

[Boostinsideways]

Double like. Needs a 2gb talon front though.

Jealous that yours is actually a talon, and mine is a talon swap.

 

[beendenied]

hehe, thanks guys. There's always more room for dsm's! haha.

Definitely going to drop the rediculous coinage for a 2gb bumper cover for sure.

The pics are with my phone, soooo, there's stuff that you cant see really. Need a good bit of body work and paint. If I had the cash, I'd get the whole car painted.

 

[beendenied]

Coming back together for work at 3am tomorrow!

Has a known exhaust leak, and a small boost leak. But a man's gotta work. She'll get what she needs

 

[beendenied]

God damned drain line is pissing oil hard at the pan. Looks like I'm gettin back under there. There's a new gasket too, now shes getting sanded, rtv'd and gasket....That better do the trick!!

Weld a AN fitting to it and stop ####ing with gaskets...havent had a leak since i went that route

 

[Darris]

just a wonder are the hatch and lights out of line or was that car hit at one point?

 

[beendenied]

I think it was, It's mostly the rear bumper though. I'll know for sure when I take it off to r2 it.

When I get a chance, I second the -AN fittings , but for now, I jacked her up and secured it.

No leak there, but when I fixed one leak, another one sprung, sooo much more. I'm getting oil from the head now instead of the stock from the housing, I capped it temporarily until I can plug the hole...wellll...my capping proved ineffective and the oil found it's way through and GOOD GOD my driveway...UHHH that's gonna leave a mark

ALSO, my spankin new feed line (from the head, as stated earlier) is also leaking, but not from a fitting, but from where the SS meets the connection just before any fittings...G@Y!

Sufficed to say, I'm going to probably leave my car on base tomorrow and get a rental until I can get it sorted out.

Looks Good!

BTW, I have a black talon driver airbag if you need one!

 

[ViciousLord]

How do you like the ride of the Tokico Blue and the H&R springs...?

I'll hit that! hehe, I see you noticed that mine is peeling.

It's good, not to stiff, and not bouncy at all. Though I'm a little biased, my gsx had tein flex's and they're getting swapped over asap

 

[sypherzero]

Looking sick man, good progress!

 

[db5424]

The car looks pretty good but I like the eclipse styling a little better but for 2500 I probably would have picked it up to. Good luck
