2010 Video Recap

[9!'clipseDOHC]

I put together a little video last night of my DSM over the past year. I know it's only October but my wedding is coming up in January so blowing money on my car is being put on hold until 2011. 2010 has been a great year for my DSM: I finally built my 4G63t and did the turbo swap, I raced at the first annual Texas Mitsubishi Shootout at San Antonio Raceway, and I made it out to the local track, El Paso MotorPlex.

Also since my last update I have replaced the front control arm and rear track arm bushings with Energy Suspension poly bushings, replaced the lower ball joints, low mounted my battery, removed my cruise control, installed my Buschur Racing polished heatshield, replaced the throttle body shaft seals, and gotten rid of a few more boost leaks.

The car is running great! It idles perfectly, boosts quickly, and gets crazy good gas mileage (high 30's-close to 40 mpg).

Here are some pictures really quick:

Old ball joints and bushings.

New control arm bushings.

Low mounted battery, Buschur Racing polished heatshield, and non-cruise throttle cable.

That's all for now. Look for more in early 2011!

Nice work on the build. I know it took alot of work and I'm proud of you for doing the swap. The engine bay looks great and very nice attention to detail too. The 20g with bigger injectors etc. will make that thing come alive. Just wanted to tell you what a nice job you did and good luck with the changes.

Thanks a lot Gravedigger! That is very kind of you! I am very proud of myself as well. The entire swap went without a hitch. Apparently I've learned from all the mistakes I've made over the past 7 years with this car that I was able to do it right this time! Thanks again!

Did you keep the old motor for parts?

Thanks! This was just the start...

Did you keep the old motor for parts?

I kept the old motor yes, but not for parts. I want to have a complete spare and I will eventually build it was well.
