What did you do to your DSM today?

[CrackedDSM]

Pulled the turbo off to make way for the FP Green setup.

Goodbye PTE 5431. Nothing personal, I just don’t like T3 setups and tubular manifolds in a FL street car.

Also took some pictures of the exhaust ports because I was curious how the valves looked. They look like regular OEM valves to me but idk.

Plumbed my bigger fuel return line, Ethanol sensor, Fuel Pressure Sensor and 6AN return line from the rail. It doesn't appear to be much work, but I was happy when I finally got it finished.

I just looked at mine today and asked it if it wanted a dogbox or synchro box. No clear answer yet

I think it wants a sequential.....

Fans installed on the new radiator now I need to test fit it and see if I can remember where my oil cooler lines ran when the unit is in the car. I'll be doing that and some other engine bay work today while it is 70* (wow) outside!
It would be a good day to just enjoy but there is work to be done!

It doesn't have sequential money, it has dogbox money . So you know.

Did the same thing to mine today and it just kept laughing at me.

However, I did not achieve even results. That's why I had a specialist company do it in the end.

Fixed the flat tire I found on the front end. Enough air leaked out that it broke the bead… I could not get my jack under the car because it has been lowered. Bought a 2x6x8 and cut it in half. Drove up onto the first one …then the second and was able to get jack under… My car sits 3 and a half inches off the ground.

Dude I let my tags go for 2 years and just renewed them after I got the car functional a couple months ago. Sorry just read this and the expired tags thing made me laugh. Dsm life for sure.

 

[streetlegends]

I have seen this on alot of sites with mustangs, hondas, volkswagen, ect... Although I've never seen one with DSM's and i thought maybe i would try it out and see if it sticks... I'll start off with what i did to mine. I cleaned up the motor bay and did a little wire tucking.

I had mine towed to our house today. We are going to bring it back to life.

Plates on my edge have been expired for like three years now. Lol. Can’t update them until I get the car registered in FL.

So perty! I need!

Pre-wired two 30 amp relays for the twin SPAL's! 10 ga wire from the battery to the relays and out to the fans. My son helped me unpin the relay plugs and I soldered the 10 ga to those terminals and reinserted them into the holder. It turned out nice....or nicer than I expected.

I made arrangements to go pick the car up from the seller today. I am restless waiting to get it on Thursday. Many of you guys probably have seen it posted for sale on the DSM sites.

 

[1990TSIAWDTALON]

I wired up a Spal fan circuit for the car.

Just ordered all the pieces to upgrade my "2g upgrade front brakes" to 91 3000GT VR4 calipers with 330mm Cobra rotors. Roughly $800 for everything =)

Haven't touched the car since last year, so hopefully this lights a fire under my bum to get out there and assemble the new motor and put it back together.

Been buying and selling a lot of stuff on FB marketplace this week, way more than usual...no complaints or anything, no warnings, nothing out of the ordinary at all.


Got hit with a "you're no longer allowed to buy and sell on Facebook" and now I'm having to review their decision. Apparently it's been a known glitch for 2 years they still haven't fixed. Great.

Good thing I secured my last purchase or I'd have been FURIOUS.


It counts as work on my DSM because it was DSM parts that got me banhammered.
