Calling all 420A Owners

[bullettdsm]

I think you guys are really confused......Mark: Ryan is talking about a local car.....Ryan: Mark is talking about DSM-ZERO's car......

Lol, I guess that's appropriate for a thread that's this far off course

But to follow along with the current subject (that I was talking about), here's an update on Zero's progress;

Heh, yeah, he keeps getting more power but not seat time. I've told him a t'ousand times, he doesn't need more power, he needs seat time

i think power can be a decent substitute power will get lower times, but seat till will let you efficiently use what you got.

what i would love to find........ inexpensive upgrades of ANY kind, including suspension. i know alot of you are gonna say cams, jeep throttle bodies, intakes, etc... but i will just put it like this...... i just bought a house, my wife is a stay-at-home mom, and i make less than 25k a year . i would love to find used parts but around here it is rare

 

[Fotowntalon]

describe "cheap" parts because that definition will very from person to person =P

 

[tazman_tn]

true... another thing i would like to see is more "swapability" aka more parts from other cars that would fit ours like the jeep t.b.....

 

[Fotowntalon]

ahh, well to help you some, the gst exhasut is a swap and is an upgrade but overall, you cant really ask a company to make something that is stock for an older car and can be swapped over to our cars =p

Intake Manifolds, a 420a 2g specific intercooler kit, fuel rails!

 

[Dark DSM]

Need to see more Transmission rebuild parts (stronger part) for the 5 speed, so we wont be afraid to dump the clutch at 6k. But you get the idea.....

 

[dalesmitsu]

We do have decent radiator, its from radiatorbarn.com and we do have good oil pan its from Morosso Summit, advance and autozone has them.

I would like to see, a better 3row Fluidyne radiator style thats direct bolt on for the automatics. Radiatorbarn oem are different.

How about a alluminum Punishment racing engine dress up kit. With your logo stamped on each part, oil Catch can

A matching PR heatsheild and a Custom Pr sheet metal Valvecover with your logo stamped on each would Awesome.

Vc idea came from, the awesome DSM-Zero's.

Add this one, PR front and Rear Upper Strut tower bar, and Lower tie bar and rear lower tie bar. or lower strut braces. Punishment racing would have to jump on Suspension market but would cool to see.

Light weight replacements for stock parts, in a package for like $200-300. Aluminum motormounts/ac&ps&alternator brackets/those heavy steal bumper holders/center member etc etc. For those who want additional weight loss beyond the standard racing battery/CF treats.

Why would you need to dump the clutch at 6k? Average launch for our cars is anywhere in between 3800 and 4500. I usually launch at 4100 with a perfect stick on street tires.

I whole-heartedly agree with stronger trans. parts. That's one of the weak links in the chain.....

It's been said already, but I would like to see more turbo manifolds. There's Cast and OBX..... Make a decent tubular, top, or front mount manifold. That would give some guys more options.

 

[Carter_95RS]

Tubular exhaust manifolds, the only one i can find is the ram horn from obx. Also, more fuel rails would definately be a plus

 

[ranman000]

Id have to say turbo exhuast manifolds. log and tubular.

 

[420aPJ]

I wish someone would make a T3/t4 flange for the stock exhaust manifold.
