Hey fst91dsm i had the chance to see your car at "cool desert nights" remember i was with the facial hair going... me and my bro were just their looking at detail by detail on your car. along with the the evo! i have to say very nice setup. It looks even better in person.. I took a ton of pics of your car!

 

[fst91dsm]

We hope everybody likes the car. She should be running and tuned come late next week. So stick around for updates.

 

[baugh92talon]

cant wait to see it at race wars!!!!!

 

[TRIXTSI]

I'm interested in the progress......VERY NICE BUILD you guys

Any news from the dyno?

I'll be checking back that's for sure.......

 

[fst91dsm]

No news on Dyno numbers as of yet. But in about a week there will be. We have a race next weekend and were kinda shutting down shop next week to get her all ready. So no worries, more updates to come shortly.

Super nice car and setup. Maybe I'll be able to do something like that one day. I like how the turbo sits up front like that. I bet it spools like a frieghtliner

 

[SBstar]

Super clean and it will definately be super fast! Just the way we like em!

Car looks to be coming along great! Ive got to ask...what is up with the chamber in the IC piping? Ive seen it done before but never ventured to ask why its done, and what benifit's it "provides"...sorry to get a little o.t.

Car looks sick !!!!
I run that same intercooler in my 99GSX street car as well as the turbo ( mine is a GT4294R not a 102 )
Good luck with the build up

Its a Air to Water Intercooler . it uses water for the cooling instead of air . Good for drag cars because you can run Ice water and get your Intake temps below ambient temp.

Nice car! 42R cars are popping up all over the place!

 

[fst91dsm]

It is true that 42R cars are everywhere, and more are coming, but I think mine is a little less run of the mill then the good old top mount or bottom mount manifold set ups.

You can say that again!

Doesn't take much to notice the hours put into the design and build of the exh manifold and the rest of the car for that matter........

Patiently awaiting more info on how your car performs

 

[droppinbottom]

Good to see you guys again.

Folks these pics do not even do this car justice. You should really see it in person.

Would love to!

If you guys ever venture down to CA for say a BOTI event at Sacramneto Raceway i'll be there just give a heads up

Maybe you should hook-up w/ Paul Nelson (one of the quickest/fastest) Evo's on the West Coast......if not the #1.......he's mentioned posibly making the trip but i understand it's a hike for you guys!

 

[fst91dsm]

It is possible that we will head down to Sac Town. We really want to see how the car does at the 2 battle events here in the North West, Seattle and Woodburn. Were really not too far from Paul and Im sure well be racing each other more than once this year. I cant wait.

 

[droppinbottom]

When are these two events?

Would be interesting to see the two of you heads up.

 

[fst91dsm]

The race in Seattle is Aug. 22-23, and the Woodburn event is Sep. 27-28

 

[v8s_are_slow]

So is the car up and running yet? I'm sure you haven't done any track runs yet but just wondering how well it's running compared to the old setup.....if it runs.

 

[fst91dsm]

Not running yet, but it should go low 9's without a problem and maybe a magic 8.90 by the end of the year. So, much faster than the last setup.

 

[Lonnie gandee]

You've just inspired me. I know what I'm doing this winter... Threads like this make me wann rip everything out the car and start over.... Right now!!!

 

[asd_gst]

hey i love your car... but im sure alot of us love your car. but you going to be in the carolina area?

 

[pj91gsx]

Thats quiet a great setup you have. Isnt that a honda radiator? Is that DIY manifold and downpipe? Where did you get the parts to do that? How did you head mess up before? What point do you think the cams need to be changed?
