What did you do to your DSM today?

[curt-s]

Removred remnant of eprom chip from 2g ecu, awaiting socketing soon..
Picked up ecmlink
Waiting til monday for rest of parts including stainless clutch line from master to slave, ngk wires to replace my suspect taylors, damper, clutch master cylinder, and innovate mtx-l to replace my uego...and gaskets n junk

 

[pksystems]

Realized I can't plastic weld PUR back together.

Sealed good side of bumper with aluminum tape.

Sanded backside of bumper with coarse grit and wiped with methanol.

Mixed up epoxy with black epoxy dye, and coated backside of repair around tow hook opening. Added 2 layers of FG cloth, and smoothed it all out.

Cried and hugged the talon ;( my V2 to V3 ecmlink upgrade got lost in the mail. and its the weekend so i have not been able to reach ECMLINK or USPS ;(

I'd rather have that instead of taking a look at the ECU you just purchased and finding traces between IC1 and EPROM are broken in two places, one on each side, and the only way to fix it is with jumper wires. I hope those are the only surprises with this thing. Unfortunately, I didn't notice until after removing the cut EPROM chip legs (that's how I got it), so I don't know if it was the removers' snips that did it, or the soldering remover took more than it should. Oh whelp, I got connectivity back between IC1, IC2, and EPROM on that signal line and all others, so hopefully I'm good to go.

well atleast you have the option to fix and repair. If usps doesnt come threw im out 700$ and have to start from scratch. They lost my upgrade from ecmlink and my SD package

Threads through bumper into a piece of DOM tubing I welded into the crash bumper mounting tube.

Hole saw through the FG crash bumper, through the foam cover support, through bumper cover.

This is for the rear, but I plan on doing the front exactly the same. (minus the mis-aligned hole like I did on the rear)

I'll toss up a pic when I hang the rear bumper.

Ive been going to the track since the 90's and have yet to ever see a golf cart raminng a car down the track when it broke down..ha that would be funny

Dunno if it necessarily qualifies as a DSM, but I finishing paying my machinist(Mr. BogusSVO ) for my built 4G64T. Loving how it's coming together. Looks like some 156mm rods and stroker pistons, which I'm very happy with. Long rod 2.4 ftw!

Did you get that from a supplier or did you cut it out of some mint condition 2G?

When you get done there, you can come to my house. Lol

I keep looking at my DSM trying to figure out if I should start looking for a clean shell. Damn rustbelt!

 

[tuby]

270 from the dealer shipped!!!! And its fits perfectly. Pain in the ass to remove the old panel tho

 

[pksystems]

Other then the bottom edge, were your outer rockers that bad?

Seems like more work to replace the entire quarter then make new outer/inner rocker patches.

 

[buhay6]

Wonder if 1g panels are still available.... hmm

 

[ErikTande]

Filled up with e85 for the first time last night. >

The car was sideswipped so the whole panel got dented in so replacing the whole thing was the way to go

Tested 2g ecu. Didn't fire it up (lots of work before that), but it turned on, CEL went off after a few seconds, and ecmlink connected just fine. Logged a few seconds of moving the TPS. Was happy enough with that for the day.

Coolant temp showed -11C, IAT was -7C. That's 10 degrees colder than it should be up here.. I hate this part of the continent.

Mounted rear bumper/lights

Tell me about it, it snowed yesterday night AGAIN

It was mid-high 70's and sunny here.
