First start up in 2 years.

[yellow90tsi]

Well it has been 2 years since I have heard my own DSM run on its own power. Very excited tonight. The video is horrible, I will be getting a video camera shortly and the pics are not too bad. Enjoy.

And as always, all critics are invited good or bad. I love getting ideas or hearing things to try this or that. Thanks guys for alot of good info and support. And thanks to alot of good companies making kick a$$ parts.


I still have alot of loose ends to finish yet. I plan on driving it by the weekend.

Are all 1g engine bays that tiny? Looks like a beastly setup though.

 

[boostngsx]

looks nice man, very clean. Im not the biggest fan of yellow and purple, but I do like that.

 

[Grimis]

another pa'en gets his dsm running, Im slowly getting mine put back together. Looks great and sounds sweet, I'll be glad when i can make a post like this

I think the engine bay looks tiny because of those HUGE pipes he's running. Nice job, man. The colors work well, too.

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

probably the only car that can pull off that color scheme, or perhaps the only one that has.

looking good!

 

[silver bullit]

Nice paint digging the color combo.

I think the next one i build will be pink with camo. cause the next one i build will make 800 hp or more.

That way i can rape someone and ask them how does it feel to be beat by a pink 4 banger.

 

[two4x4s]

looks good man. I love that color combo... and the jack stands match haha... good job on it

 

[FORMONTOYA]

Congratulations!!

Mine sat for 14 months and I was extremely happy to hear it "fire up" on the first try.

 

[4g63Powered]

Congrats. Mine's been down for less than 2 months, and it's already getting to me. That's probably because I know it will be another several months before it's back on the road, too.

 

[RallyEclipse98]

Sounds mean. I like.

The engine bay just looks small because all the unnecessary things have been taken out. It doesn't look so full and wide.

 

[syrushcw]

Do that looks amazingly hot and unlike a lot of people here I love that yellow. Props!

 

[dsmmaniac12787]

I know how it is. Bought my 3rd DSM now and took me a year and a half to get it running. Never would have thought of yellow and purple. But that looks totally sick. Even got the HKS timing belt to match. haha, mad props

 

[yellow90tsi]

I fixed the wastegate for all the guys telling me that it is not a good idea to dump into the engine bay. :wink:

I finished the front end about 95%. Just have to adjust the lights, hood, and fenders alittle bit.

I actually drove it under its own power today. That was about all I got done today. Tomm. I have to finish up some fuse box wiring and install the rest of the interior parts.

Here are some more pics for your ( well mine too) viewing pleasure ( I hope).

That's gonna suck changing your oil filter. should have mounted it the other way. Now when you change the filter as soon as you break the seal all the oil from the filter is gonna leak onto the floor, drain pan, -AN fittings & SS lines, OFH adapter, ect.. Not too late to change that... Just my opinion.

Other than that LOOKS GREAT!!!

I've been waiting for you to get this thing done. Been watching the progress. Great Build!!!

 

[dsmmaniac12787]

Hmmm, seems to me like it would be best for the oil filter to be the way it is...my 2 cents...

 

[PIMking]

God I love 1ga's!!! good job

 

[vanilla gorilla]

Sweet ass car man. Looks like you really paid attention to detail. Love the smoothed and painted engine bay! I've always loved the idea of filling in all the holes in my bay and respraying it when I drop in the 6 bolt....but I'm scared I'll mess up the nice paint whenever I'm fixing/maintaining it.

 

[wishgst]

whatd u do with the power steering?

 

[yellow90tsi]

manual rack

 

[RedTurboEclipse]

yea thats an interesting way to mount the oil filter. looks like its going to be messy.

 

[yellow90tsi]

I have never really had much of an issue with it mounted that way. Alot of it drains back so there is only a small amount in the filter anyway. I originally started this venture in 01'. I did have some of these mods on here previous(not many), but the filter setup was one of them. Its really not to bad.

 

[SilentKreeper95]

dude i love ## car...looks sick and sounds even sicker...i can't wait till i get my new dsm...the car i'm getting had been sitting for 2yrs....can't wait...

 

[vanilla gorilla]

Whats a manual rack?

 

[pboglio]

I think Swain coating that Turbonetics exhaust manifold would really set things off, as well as keeping underhood temps alot cooler. I personally like the white coating they use from a cosmetic point of view, as well as actually being functional unlike other ceramic coatings which are completely useless aside from rust prevention.

Definitely needs an aluminum radiator in there.

1g engine bays are freaking huge in terms of space from the intake manifold to the firewall compared to a 2g DSM.

Awesome 1g, I miss my 91 GS turbo
