Steve's Cleaning Pt. 10

[stevestevesteve]

Well, driving the GSX is so much fun. I get a lot of people starring at the car, getting head nods, thumbs up, and a bunch of positive comments.

Drove the car out in a terrible storm, and my A/C compressor blew. So that is being swapped out soon. Standing out in the cold weather and down pouring rain at 1am sucks when you are trying to figure out where that noise is coming from... It isnt going out in the rain ever again. This is my second encounter with rain and something breaking. I know it has nothing to do with the rain, its just bad luck...

More bad luck is the car is in a DESPERATE NEED for a tune. This thing is just terrible tune wise right now.... (You can tell I am having a bad week) Looking for someone selling DSMlink for a 2g though!

But instead of going on with the negatives, lets see what I got accomplished this week.

A few pics of the GSX. RMDSM front chin spoiler on the way! 3 weeks I have to wait for it to ship though... (silly machv)

Picked up a evo III 16g from a fellow member on here, he said the seals where going. It was an awesome deal, I couldnt pass up.

Here it is taken apart.

Turns out it was a BIG 16g. Bonus!

A "Before" Shot (not blog you will see after)

Another "Before" shot

Thanks to a local DSMer for blasting my Housings

He also washed the center section the best he could, I got the carbon off, and polished it up (looks a lot better in person, ill get a better picture). Is there supposed to be all that rough surface?

Picked this up

I wonder what I will be doing with this?

More "before" shots

Had to pick up one of these to bolt to my JMFab Discontinued Heashield for these manifolds

And to close it all off, a nice butt shot. More to come soon!!!! Remember, I love comments! And Still looking for 2g dsmlink...

FP mani FTW! Did those mudflaps come with the car or did you pick them up somewhere? If so, where!?

 

[stevestevesteve]

Thanks guys!

I picked up the rears from JNZ. Paul and I worked all day calling mitsubishi's across the country to see if they still had them in stock. Luckily, only 2 had them in stock. The left side at one, the right side at the other. Which means, I got the last 2 OEM rear mudflaps in the world... . The front's were no where to be found, finally after searching craigslist, I found a 98gst part out in which I got my dash from. It also had the mudflaps. I took the fronts and sold the rears to a fellow dsmer on here.

[OK's best GSX]

Man seeing your car makes me miss my gsx and want another dsm so bad!
I have to stick with my slow civ for now..
Don't hate me haha, at least I'm still rocking the powered by Mitsubishi oh shit handle and used all my 10mm bolts out of my gsx on my honda to make me feel better about myself

Hey nice going on the car looks fab! Don't wana ruin your new cam cover but I've had two of these and they keep breaking! The sponge strip sticks to the valve cover and the brass insets the plastic keeps breaking around them! I've given up now and don't touch it ild surgest putting a small washer or rubber gromet to protect the plastic and that way it will help reduce the breaking of it! If I was in the states ild keep swapping it out but I'm in the u.k and I can't keep shipping it every 6 months as its broken! Good luck with your's though and I hope to see more amazing things done
