What did you do to your DSM today?

[Archer Fabrications]

Was nice 50 here and I'm farther north than everyone. Well almost everyone

 

[buhay6]

It was 20 degrees below zero here just yesterday and tomorrow were in the plus's! I was pretty mad the one morning I went to ride my bike to work thinking "screw winter, below freezing or not im riding dam it!" It snowed 3 cm that night... me=WTF

Onto what I did, just repainted some of the massive paint damage I did repulling my engine/tran, started tearing into the blowen tranny plus popped open the good tran to reshim the input shaft bearings as there to loose and topped it off with starting to paint up engine pieces to swap for ugly old ones.

Yeah, I got mine idling and cruising ok on 91oct, but I eventually gave in and paid for some help from a guy here on tuners. He got my 91oct tune perfect, now we're getting the e85 tune nailed down.

Love your car man so nice.

Thanks! It's been fun restoring it, and I love that it looks pretty much stock except for the FMIC. I've been thinking about painting it black so it's less noticeable.

The 1/4 mile track opens April 12th in Denver, I can't wait to go do a few pulls and see how much improvement I've made over the winter.

You guys are all just swapping to E85, I switched back to 93oct because its easier to start this turd in the cold weather. E85 will be going back in the car in probably a month.

I will! I'm sticking with the street tires, I'm all about running the car "as is." I'm not expecting any tractions issues at this point anyway, I'm sure I'll be high 13's, low 13's if I'm lucky.

 

[pksystems]

Unbolted washer tank, cleaned trunk sheetmetal.

Ready for some rust paint/seam sealer (where I burned off oem with welder)

 

[unashmdsm]

Headed down to visit SATAN because apparently the bolt holding my harmonic balancer was missing

 

[airmail96]

Threw on the fmic, and plugged in a few thermostat housing plugs .

Took a page out of jaxness's book with the plaid. Was gonna do the headliner like that anyways but seeing her door panels done up like that made me want to do mine that way too! Lol

 

[pksystems]

Reinstalled all plastic trunk panels.

Marked where cardboard spare tire cover needs to be trimmed so you can more then look at the spare.

Admired how cheap this cover looks.

Pondered replacing the plastic hinges, before they break.

 

[pksystems]

Cleaned trunk carpet.

Reinstalled rear splash shields.

Reinstalled e-brake cables.

Started disassembling/modding '03 Tiburon seats. *Looks* like no welding needed to get these installed.

 

[curt-s]

Sleep is for the weak, eh?

 

[CanadianTalonTC]

Working on the engine and managed to break a ring installing my pistons into the block on my wiseco's. Bonehead move, so much for getting the block back together today...

I HATE when stupid small set backs happen

One time i forgot to grease the input shaft, installed the trans bolted everything and torqued. Then realized it all had to come off again

 

[Diamond Star Werks]

Caught my dad moving my car

 

[Archer Fabrications]

Haha busted

 

[buhay6]

Painted my VC, timing belt covers, and fuel rail. Installed new injector seals then mated my new tranny to my engine to get ready to drop everything back in tonight......after watching the first episode of Game of Thrones of course!
Really wanting to get my car back together tonight...it was supposed to be done last night but I only got home at 1 am from picking up the new tran.

 

[pksystems]

Messed around trying to mount tiburon seats........

Realized I have a pair of race seat bases (sparco I think) with sliders I got for the ESi years ago.

ditch entire sliding mechanism, or use this as a movable template for modding brackets....

Or go full race buckets for primarily street use.

 

[JVAILLAN14]

Installed Ksport rally spec coilovers, front bumper and headlight.

 

[eviltsi]

Started my $250 barn rescue project.
