20th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout!!

[talontd92tsi]

Please don't bring a mustang to the Shootout man.

Dude, I have been to the shootout 7 times now (01, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, and now 12) and I have never been able to bring my DSM. At the present time, I have about 30 miles on the car since I got it put back together and the brakes feel like total dogshit (barely work, pulls hard left when I press them hard enough to work, and the pedal is stiff as balls.)

I really dont feel like driving it 200 miles to break down half way there. The Mustang is completely reliable. I bought this DSM in February with the intention of tossing in a fuel pump and driving it. It has been SOOO much more work than that due to a bunch of idiots that owned it before me.

So, it looks like the mustang is coming whether I want it to or not. Unless, I miraculously get the brakes in 100% working condition within the next day or 2. My DSM is what I love, but the majority of the time, my Mustang is what I drive, no matter how slow it is.

If you do the maintenance you won't break down man trust me on this, last year I drove my 100,000+ miled Galant VR4 all the way from Cali to the shootout and back with no problems. This year I'll be driving a total of 2548 miles there and back as opposed to last years 4630 I drove.

I wish I was there so I could sell you Some brake parts with my parts discount that way you can bring your DSM. But I guess bringing that mustang will be fun for all the other DSM's to play with =)

All the maintenance items are now done (tbelt, plugs, wires, recharged the k&n, oil, coolant, and trans/diff fluids all changed), its just the little intangibles that I need to figure out now (like the brakes barely stopping the car). I THINK it is going to just end up being that the caliper slide pins need greased and everything will be ok. I just dont trust it right now. Other than that it runs fine. I think I need to get some fresh gasoline in it as it knocks pretty badly under any significant amount of boost (like more than 4 lbs ), but I need to find a way to drain 10+ gallons of gasoline (idiots parked it with almost a full tank). And the gas gauge does not move off of empty at the present time. I think my sending unit is kaput.

Believe me I want to bring it more than you even remotely know, but I don't think the wife wants me to (it doesn't have a radio, and she dosen't quite appreciate the sound of a 4g63, and a whining wally 255 the way I do).

I have another 2 weeks to get this bish figured out, but I am not counting on bringing it at this time, but if I have an breakthrough, you can bet your ass it is going to be there (even though the paint is garbage and it's slow as balls)

That's easy.... There's a drain plug you can pull to drain the fuel tank right on the bottom.

If the mustang is the only thing that will get you there... then the mustang is should be !

I say go get you a set of calipers from vatozone or oreally?'s and change your fuel filter while your at it aswell. As for the tank, drain it from the bottom like Gravedigger pointed out. As for the radio, well something as petty as that could be as cheap as 45 bucks. Goodluck =)

 

[talontd92tsi]

I really don't want it to have a radio . It is much more of a toy than anything else. (no radio because racecar?)

I know about the drain plug in the tank, and I will be replacing the filter as well when I do end up draining it, but I don't have enough gas cans for 10+ gallons of gasoline . I was initially going to drive it out, but i am beginning to think its just not worth the risk of screwing something up.

I am going to give it a shot to get it ready.... who knows? If it works out right it might just make it.

Not sure how many of you are on Facebook but we keep that updated more than anyting else. There is also a Shootout page on there we update. Today we posted pics of the trophies we made custom and the souvenir bags, which took 7 of us nearly 4 hours to pack with the stuff that went in them.

The trophies are DSM/EVO pistons/rods that we powder coated Gold, Silver and Bronze and then had custom plaques made that got glued to the big end of the rod, the place you got shows through the big end hole, coolest trophy we've ever done.

The bags all have these main ingredients:
Buschur Racing 5% off plus free shipping on orders over $250
Forced Performance 5% off.
DEI 10% off.
Summit Motorsports Park 20% off.
LMR sponsorship/discounts.
Wiseco piston/rod key chain.
JM Fab bottle opener.
ECM Tuning bottle opener.
Buschur Racing 20th Annual DSM/EVO Shootout window decal.

Then from there many vendors couldn't count to 1,000 so we ran out of a lot of stuff but here is some of the other things you may find in a souvenir bag:
Royal Purple decal
Royal Purple bag
Mishimoto sticker
Mishimotor brochure
Kelford Cam lanyard
Wiseco sticker
T1 Automotive sticker
Various random new Mitsubishi auto parts, yes, actual auto parts! We had a blast putting this stuff in the bags. How about a new 3000GT water pump?!

Also included in every bag:

For the week of the Shootout only with the code provided by FIC for the Shootout, you get 10% of EVERYTHING they sell.

Also stop by the FIC booth at the track and register to win one free set of injectors they will be giving away for the race!

 

[talontd92tsi]

I GOTS to get me one of these, if not JUST for the decal. I have a BLAST every year at this event, and I plan to attend every year until you stop putting it on Dave.

Thanks in advance.

(I can find a use for a 3000GT water pump )

Maybe I missed the boat on this one. Are they having camping at the track still and are they having it on friday night? For 12 dollars race or watch I think its worth going. Although I want to be there for the bonfire and im bringing my friday cup. Im so torn on this one haha. Either way Ill probably be crashing out in Daves field. You are the man. I only wanted to pay for one hotel night just to get cleaned up and what not.

 

[GSX_TC1]

Looks like ANOTHER friend flaked out right at the last minute dontcha just love how they do that. So because of this I will now making this 22+ hour drive alone, wish me luck. Also I originally had room with two beds booked and it's too late to change that now so if anyone wants to split that your more then welcome to. Either way I'm still gonna stay in the room.
