Some pics of my cars progress, engine/suspension

Who did your custom O2? That is the setup I really want but am settling on a FP 18G this year maybe next year I will go to a full blown FP.

All of us denver/metro guys need to get together one weekend and do something. I would like to meet everyone. Since I moved out here I pretty much just hang out with guys from work and they really aren't into DSM's.

Why no SMIM? Looks really good.

That's not a " custom " o2. FP offers a recirculation option on their 3" o2 housing.

OT: Did they stop selling the 3065? I don't see it on FP's site.

The stock 1g intake manifold should be sufficient for my goals. I wont get a smim unless I have to.

Thanks for the comments.

Brent, did you have the tranny rebuilt?

Brent, did you have the tranny rebuilt?

Yeah good question, how did that free t-case and trans turn out?

It is the stock tranny. I really wanted an upgrade, either Shep or Jacks but it just wasnt in my budget. By no means do I expect this tranny to hold up long, but since it is in good shape (no grinds and a new center diff) I figured I might as well run it til it breaks.

Still have them both! They are sitting off to the side for now, hopefully will go in for rebuild/core to either Shep or Jack when the time comes.

Talk to Alex (Drift_SM) about his Jack tranny. Total down time was 10 days (Alex is in Florida, Jack is in Colorado). Click on the link below for a decent thread on the subject.

I'll make sure to help Beef makes the right decision.

^ Think you forgot something.

 

[RoasT BeeF]

had to edit.

 

[DSMunknown]

Try again. I like dark backgrounds, but I don't think that's what you're aiming for.

 

[RoasT BeeF]

Trying this again...

UPDATE: Got the car started today finally. After chasing down a bad starter relay and then a bad injector resistor pack (ugh) it feels great to hear it run finally finally finally!!!! I have been working on this build for the last 3 months, I havent driven it in 2 years, and now the beast is finally back! Just waiting on paint for the fenders, hood, and front bumper and I can start driving it around.

Here is a video - note there is no downpipe connected yet, still need to get that switched to vband.

It might almost be worth driving up to Greeley to pick up that Valve Cover, just to see that!

Looks & Sounds awesome.

 

[Flash]

That sounds awesome! But save the environment and put your cat back on, please!

 

[Sk8er07999]

Dang I'm gonna need a valve cover too!!!! I was thinkin like a purple one? Looks sick man!!!! I can't wait for a ride!

 

[RoasT BeeF]

Just a little update.

I drove the car for the first time today. It was awesome! I spent a couple weeks just getting it to idle right. Swapped out a few TPS's and ISC's. Rewired my coolant temp sensor and switch as they were pretty old and brittle. Set base time and changed my bov spring from 7 to 9psi and it finally idled like it should. It seems I am having an intermittent problem with my transistor pack now though. Get intermittent "ignition circuit" CEL's every once in awhile which go away if I wiggle the transistor plug. I will probably be wiring in a 91- style transistor this weekend. Started sanding down the fenders today also and getting them ready for paint which I plan on doing next week. Ill be sure to post pics of the car when its totally put back together. Stay tuned.

I have a very similar build going on with my awd talon. Could you email me the steps you took to get that wiring all cleaned up and what HG did you go with?

I'm excited that you got your car running again. I remember when you came over to change your oil, and then soon after you called me to tell me the horrible news. That was like yesterday!
