Another RWD 2g

[91stocker]

Bad news update.

Some theives recently broke into this car and stole alot of stuff. If anyone sees the turbo and/or radiator/water pump combo for sale anywhere, get ahold of me asap. Chances are that they won't be selling any of it on any DSM forums though. They also took the JM Fab drag manifold, which has a distinct notch on the underside of the plenum to clear the chassis. They purposely left the header, probably because it would be nearly impossible to sell it to anyone under the radar.

If you guys see any of this stuff on eBay or craigslist, please shoot me a PM. Thanks.

What the hell is wrong is people. Is this car in michigan? Id keep an eye on xceed maybe.

 

[99gst_racer]

Yup, MI car. I've been watching Xceed already.

I wish they didn't block eBay here at work...

 

[Alex7747]

damn I'm sorry to hear the bas news

 

[dsmornothing]

Ill be watching ebay periodically, it was a RWD manifold I am assuming? Pretty hard to miss someone trying to sell that.

 

[99gst_racer]

Yup, RWD drag manifold from JM Fab. You're right, those are far from common too. Thanks.

Riiiiiiiiidiculous!!!!

 

[dsmornothing]

This honestly angers me more than anything. People like that deserve one to the head. This world would be so much better if thats how they were treated.

 

[dral24]

Wow people like that deserve to have a turbo chucked at their face....

a big 42r!

 

[nfernotalon]

Also a cheap substitution for the 42r for now would be an hx55 just a thought.

There isn't a v-band inlet turbine housing available for it though, right?


I'd much rather compound turbo it with a T3 50-trim and an HX55, but that's just me.

spare the 42r. The lowlife doesn't even deserve something that value being thrown at him

No I believe it's not available in vband. You're right that thing in a compound set up would be even crazier and huge amounts of torque. I think this could turn into a whole other beast!

I've been trying to talk him into compound turbocharging since day one. Maybe I'll have to keep trying.

 

[Archer Fabrications]

damn, thats no good! hope that this F\/cker gets caught! and sued...

 

[gsxitement]

NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo.....SCOUNDRELS!!!!! Literally made me sick to read this. BEst of luck to get this thing back on the rails. Would love to see how it goes. Good luck.

 

[GRAVEDIGGER]

Just saw the bad news update...

 

[nightracer91]

Wow, some people just need to fall to natural selection... How dumb do you have to be!?

 

[tturbolife1]

Sorry to hear the bad news, justice will prevail.

 

[thewhiteone]

Any updates on this build?

Good or bad?

 

[99gst_racer]

None. It's just been sitting in the garage. This economy is hurting the build and the theft incident set it back even more.

 

[bmoha7321]

What a cool thread and it just leaves me so pissed off! FVckers! Great work 99gst_racer!

 

[starfish]

So he didnt have any insurance on the garage so he could collect something?

 

[bmoha7321]

I hate to see this build get stalled out like so many others...

 

[starfish]

Was everything alum?Could of been crackhead scrappers!Check the scrap yards.They would steal anything for a few bucks!Some were even cuttin cats of cars around by my neck of the woods.

 

[stuckwithgsx]

There's a fine line between terribly too bad, and tragic. This is pushing that line

Hopefully something will happen with this car one way or another, there's so much time, money, work, parts, thought, effort, etc in here. I also personally know that karma can be a BiTcHHH. So hopefully this wasn't coming for him, and it's just a matter of time when this guy get's a big break for the better

Good luck to the owner!
