things i did to my dsm in southern california today.

[drooseph]

+1 for kris about my head build. super budget e85. got everything back from hopsing and cams are installed along with 3g lifters. new spring and retainers. should be interesting with a 16g. and its a 4g61 NON turbo head so the ports are 1g sized

 

[Zefal151]

Should be nice

Damn mtb trails are closed, guess im not going now

 

[goodbuds]

you can still go an get a sweet yakima rack,. for them extra sweet mountain bikes.

 

[MikeSD]

Finally, engine bay is assembled after months of being torn apart. Now it's time to put my wrenching skills to the test and see if the damn thing starts tomorrow...

[gofer]

Haha. Thanks Mike, isn't that the truth?! I'll find out tomorrow I hope, I'm going to attempt to start it and see how well she idles.

 

[Zefal151]

so tomorrow? or Today??? MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Zefal151]

So its not really DSM related, but im thinking of getting custom license plate...

OCTN EVO

Gimme your thoughts (my new license plate came in the mail today so possibly putting it on )

 

[gofer]

I like it!

MY CAR STARTED AND IDLED LIKE STOCK TODAY!!!!!! WOOT! Blew those black widows out of the exhaust that have been living there since December, time to go fast Saturday.

 

[gufi]

wish i could go, wont have a clutch to race on so its a no go for me.

check out my other thread for some questions i haf, kthx.

 

[Zefal151]

Yay the BEAST is alive... i might have to go to cheer you guys on

Yeah im really liking the OCTN EVO plate idea... hell, my wife is ok with it, and that says a lot right there

 

[gofer]

The new brake setup works like a badass! These Evo brakes are getting used now and there's no more spongy brake pedal or half a mile brake distance from 40mph to 0.

You can find me out on the 8 doing endos from 80mph.

 

[goodbuds]

Your out there scraping that splitter son..

 

[gofer]

Nope. I got the Talon bumper on, son!

 

[gufi]

Talon> eclipse

 

[goodbuds]

well after looking at the car today i realize, it looks like its ready for the junkyard again,. no turbo, no transmission. the only light at the end of the tunnel was the email from ipt, and torque solution.. muuuhhahahaha. parts coming.

 

[drooseph]

i resurfaced my manifold and turbine inlet today.

 

[banishedmunk]

Im off work tomorrow so I got to start preparing for some MOOtangs

 

[andrewrnava]

Brakes, Left, Right Signals, And Reverse I didn't even have to rewire the whole car.

I have this set up so i could go from my talon rear end back to my 2gb eclipse at any time with all the lights still working to oem spec

Whats Do You Guys Think

 

[gofer]

I like the idea but I think the 2gb Talon rear is a bit classier.
