1GA Plymouth Laser DD

Wow that looks awful. I’m glad you went straight into fixing it. Looks like you’re doing a good job getting it back.

Drunk drivers should be executed. No pity, no mercy. I keep having to deal with the aftermath of their selfish BS in my job, and I'm over it.


More positive note: I love this thing. I need to get my 1G up and running asap, man. I'm super jealous. How's the exhaust sound? Where did you buy the E3 manifold?

Yeah it really sucked and he did'nt have insurance but luckily I was able to find the parts I needed to get it going again. The exhaust sounds amazing even with the high flow cat its got a nice deep tone. I found the manifold on FB market place, it was a nice difference for the 16g for sure.

Update!! Welp, been a few weeks my Lader was down due to isc burning up my ecu and other random issues. But so far parts replaced: tps, maf, isc, ecu, o2 sensor. Also some burnt up wires from isc to ecu luckily I found. I shouldnt have changed all those parts but aside from isc burning up I was chasing a rich/lean problem that led me to rebuilding my throttle body. Its all good though It ended up being my wideband sensor....Been running super rich too for who knows how long... long story short, I got it going pretty good, now time to enjoy it.... heres a few pics yall might of seen already

Chop Stix! Sounds nasty!

Well, I have been slowly chilling away at getting my suspension nice and tight, I installed all new front subframe bushings and lower control arm bushings, new lower ball joints, a remanned rack and pinion, and all rear end bushings for the trailing arms, and track bar bushings. Its been a slow, tedious process but its getting there. Excuse the downpipe wrap its coming off

 

[arodgst]

Just a quick update, finally eliminated all my emission parts except my high flow cat, and just been driving and enjoying my car as much as I can. Some pics for fun....

Got my 8AN lines and fittings to make my hoses to my ebay catchcan cleaner looking, Ive got more wire tucking and arranging to go. I did delete the pcv valve and using that hole on the VC as a source for my catch can setup. holes are 1/8 npt to -8AN, as I did'nt want to weld anything on my mitsu VC

What sway bar is this? Any more details on how it’s installed?

its an Addco sway bar. and yeah Give me a sec ill take some pics and postem along with the info.

 

[arodgst]

Here is some more information on the rear sway bar that I installed on my car. It still currently available unlike the ST brand. After searching far and wide and for even used I found Jegs.com hassem and in stock. Had it installed about 2 years ish and I love it. Made a huge difference in handle, feels like a go-kart at this point. But here are some pics and screenshots of the website. Install was easy enough. I forgot the different settings and have mine set in a spot I like, the bushings on the end that it. If you buy it new you"ll know what I mean after reading install instructions

I've been wanting to get a new BOV that was of good quality and looked good. After buying the HKS ssqv4 and running it I didn't like the low rpm flutter. I couldn't prevent it but can't do much to the ssqv as it is non adjustable, and Im no big turbo guy and do not plan on it. Anyways, I opted for a new cleaner looking NGR black bov with the gold fittings Nothing wrong with the old purple OG NGR bov I've ran it for about 6 years, sounds amazing and holds boost still, just needed a different look and rerfresh. This new NGR bov seems to be somewhat louder and more swooshie, , but over all I love it... here are some pics. Maybe a video soon.

Changed a few things, finally got the car to idle really good at the 750 ish and not shut of every stop, its been a mix of getting the biss and IPS set just right and I have been having so much more fun driving it everyday. boost is at 20 psi solid amd engine temps get down to 180 in this mid 90° weather, i can't complain, I hotdog it every time I take it out. Now for some pics of my new updated valve cover color. And hotdamn my ebay catch can is doing a great job.

I have that same eBay can but in red. I also hated my SSQV 4 for the same reason. I have an SSQV 1 on the car now and it’s waaaay better. Classic HKS BOV sound and no flutter on low boost or part throttle.

Im going to look into the ssqv 1, I love the hks sound too and thats what im looking for but im in no rush to change my nrg bov out just yet, but thanks for the that info.

Welp, things have been going alright, Found my so called oil leak, ended up being my oil cap. Shes all fixed up now. Most importantly I figured out the sweet spot for my NGR bov. I actually read the how to adjust directions and it has been working out great. Finally got all the flutter out even at low boost and got that signature pppttss sound. Just enjoying the ride now.
