What did you do to your DSM today?

[crash89]

After having a bung welded on my pos turbo intake pipe for a recirc tube after 2 years of ownership on my 1g, I decided to do a BLT.. Well, found that ANOTHER intake gasket is junk. I replaced one about 4 months after I bought the car, now another is crap and leaking as fast as I can push air into the intake system. Not to mention my BOV isnt "working" after the recirc install. Who knows though, it could be because of the massive boost leak that it isnt pulling enough vacuum to open the bov..

Regardless, my 1g is sitting on our lift without an intake manifold, waiting for a new one tomorrow when I pick it up.

Used Detail Doctor instant restorer, and it really works to bring out the black in faded areas.. Amazing.

[tkrPerformance]

Walked by the 2gb talon Awd Spyder with the surly pugsley fat bike propped up on it on the way out of the garage to the winter beater 01 mirage sedan.
Really want to drive it but I bought the car new and it has never seen a winter and still has 48k on the body and 0 miles on the new 2.4 build

 

[Bud92gsx]

Wire wheeled rear subframe......

Added a couple more welds to reinforce it.....

Hung it up and hosed it down inside and out with phosphoric acid cleaner.

Ready to paint once it dries.

 

[drobin8]

Glanced at it up on blocks as I walked out the garage going to work.

 

[gofer]

Did you install the diff mounts and bushings to it?

 

[Spanky_DSM]

Ceramic Black Spray painted my manifold heat shield and O2 dump. Also Cleaned my 5 speed gsx tranny and painted it with 500 degree rated aluminum paint.

Building my new daily.. Ill start a build thread soon with photos.. Im excited to have gotten another one ..

Cant wait for my income


Edit,, oh yeah, ordered Oem flywheel bolts, transmission to block bolts and a 4 layer exhaust mani gasket.

Thanks JNZ

Shaved my valve cover, sanded, and polished and due to skipping steps..

Ill be sanding again

 

[SlickZL1]

Swapped out for a new dash. No more holes from Old gauges.

 

[pksystems]

Did you install the diff mounts and bushings to it?

RTM aluminum/urethane diff bushings and TS urethane rear subframe bushings are ready to go into the subframe once it's painted.

Anyone with aluminum bushings had any problems with galvanic corrosion between the steel/aluminum?

I'll grease the bushings good, but this car will be seeing road salt (winter use) which will speed up corrosion.

Stopped by and paid it a visit yesterday. Thought about it today. Just sitting all alone.

 

[StephensToySpyder]

I drove mine to work and loved it

 

[Breezio69]

What didn't I do today... 10 hours of nothing going right.

Finished the battery tray drop to subframe
Bought new battery
Install battery
Moved fuse box above battery
Repainted intake and uicp while they were pulled
While paint was drying, install tubular manifold
Copper gasket has wrong size holes.... file away for 20 minutes
Bolt up manifold
Put turbo on, replace lines, new feed, new drain, new soft water lines
Install dried uicp then intake, since I made an air box its 7 times as hard to accomplish
Full oil change
Coolant change
Broke dipstick off somehow when pulling it out?
Drive jeep to parts store to source a jerry rigged recirc tube (had to be 1" to 1 3/8" Id on each end) found a rad hose to hack
Start car, dies immediately
Restart, runs for 10 seconds at 11.2 afr.... hmmmm
J pipe to intercooler coupler not hooked up. Yay
Restart, good, drive
Hear what I thought was a coupler blow off on the freeway... no wrench, no light... lame
Limp back home, find something amazing
The boost BLEW my pipe out of the threads on the turbo outlet, how @18psi?
Go to home depot @ 8:54pm, snag the next size up bolts to tap the housing
Get back and tap the holes the next size up, bolts so big they don't sit flush...
Spend 30 or so minutes thinking of a way to make spacers temporarily
Drill out two smaller size nuts to space the bolts out and be able to tighten them down
Holy shit it worked, go for another drive, or so I thought....
Start car, dies immediately
Start car again, dies after a few seconds.... fml, I didn't put the coupler on the j pipe again

Finally, took her for about an hour long cruise, the tubular manifold definately changed the harmonics of the exhaust. Time to pull her back in the garage for the repaint now that she is running again.

Sorry that was so long... today was a nightmare.

 

[pksystems]

Scrubbed down rear subframe with a stiff brush to knock off any loose phosphoric acid residue.

Gave it a quick wipe down.

Sprayed rust paint into the hollow sections with a flexible extension nozzle.

 

[Blindmouse]

Changing some bolts in engine bay to renewed pieces..
