Winter Mods Thread

[EVILUTION]

We had one of these lthreads ast year so we might as well start another one this year. If you are curious this is last years thread:

http://p2.forumforfree.com/winter-mods-vt279-cwscc.html


My to-do list:

1. Clutch

I only have one thing on the list and I'm not even sure I'll get that done. After pulling some go-fast parts off the car the stocker is doing an okay job of holding. I have another 400 mile stock disk and pressure plate that I purchased last March thinking I would just install another stock clutch. Even though its not the best clutch for the job it will work and probably save me from broken drivetrain parts.

Originally I had planed to get the Exedy twin clutch and then toss a bigger turbo on the car but after totalling the price of the required go-fast goodies I just cant get myself to go that route. If I have a need for more power I'll just toss a nitrous express kit on the car.

[Pointdsm]

Ok, here we go.
1.) Eibach Pro-kit springs
2.) Ingalls Front and Rear Camber kit
3.) Front and Rear Strut Bars
4.) Suspension Techniques Front swaybar
5.) S-AFC Blue Screen
6.) FTS AFPR
7.) Symborski Shift kit
8.) EGT Gauge
9.) Fixing my FMIC and piping
10.) 93-94 " big brakes" w/hawk pads
11.) New headlights
12.) New intake from VPT
13.) Grand Prix wheels and race tires
Theres many more little things to do also. I'll be busy over break, but the car won't be driven so it'll be alot easier.

[devlish]

fix my bent up quarter panel that just happened an hour ago. thanks again VPT for the help!

(i had to think twice about clicking SUBMIT on that one...)

so in addition to that unexpected cost...

i just ordered the following about 30mins after that happened:
- new guages (boost, egt, oil press)
- Wideband 02 sensor/gauge (xd16)
- underdrive pulley & mopar belts
- ARP Head Studs & Mopar Perf head gasket
- new oil pump & water pump
- new timing belt tensioner
- Chromoly Transmission plate & bearing girdle
- Poly control arm bushings
- probably a rear sway bar by spring time as well

so yeah, i got my work cut out for me i guess!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

OK,

Project #1: Orange talon. This will be finished by spring. Its runnin, but I stole the turbo and put it on the grey talon to make room for a better spooling turbo. Also need to install a drivers side axle yet. Otherwise it is just about complete.

Project #2: Prelude. This thing really does not need much, just some work on the brakes, change all fluids, new tires, and as VPT says, a new MAP sensor. Otherwise this car is ready to race.

Project #3: DSM, still need to find a bone stock AWD 2g for a street/track car. I already have many parts for it including full coil-overs, all 4 brembo x-drilled and slutty rotors, and it will be getting a FP BIG T-28 turbo and some fuel upgrades.

Those are MY Projects, I have a few other things I am workin on for friends and such that I have to do around my own stuff.

[speedyshelby]

Charger
finish building new stronger engine
add bigger injectors
add homemade header
add stronger trans

The jeep finish the lift and adding bigger tires

The sundance needs to be gone

The arrow well it needs to find it way into a warm place to get it engine again.

[DontStopMe]

FWD:
1.) Install rebuilt 93 transmission w/larger cv shafts.
2.) Port and rework head.
3.) Install new timing belt along with some HKS 264's & hopefully some new lifters


AWD:
1.) port 02housing
2.) buy and install warblo 190
3.) paint.
4.) Sell!

all money and time permitting of course.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

3.) paint.
4.) Sell!


those are all that car needs.

[DontStopMe]

need to port the 02 for sure, its creeps like a bitch with the 3" exhaust......second though, maybe I should just take off the exhaust :)

[EVILUTION]

Speedyshelby......

I have some 16" silverblade jeep rims and tires if you are interested in them.

[ZXTUNER]

how much 4 the slutty rotors LOL

[devlish]

DSMCamaro... i have a 190 if you want. PM we'll talk

Evil: what rims do you have now for the jeep then if those are being sold?

Project 2: finish cabinets & countertops in the garage.

[speedyshelby]

What year is your jeep and what size are those tires. I got 15 and was sticking to 15 but if the price is right and if they fit. I know some grands got different pattern.

[speedyshelby]

Just did a quick check on the bolt pattern it looks like they change it in 99 on.

[TSi_II]

Well, I wish I had a list of shit to do, but it only consists of this..... Get Talon ready to be sold in the spring. I had to do a lot of thinking, and the car isn't so practical for me at the moment. I've racked up 5 figure debt (which to some of you might not be too much, but I'm the youngest member on here, only being 18 ), will be gone all summer, and moving in the fall for school and I'm not too confident it will make the trips home and shit. Maybe in a year or two when I get my shit straight I'll buy another DSM, but I'm leaning towards an EK Civic hatch or something similar. As for winter mods for the talon, body work, some interior shit needs attention, and basically finishing off supporting mods for what I've got and all neccesary maintenance that will come up and be needed for selling.........

[vettehead]

Winter mods:

the vette: fix brakes, think about buying entire new suspension and maybe installing it (springs, shocks, roll bars, strut rods, poly bushings, etc)

integra: fix front speaker, power antenna, small body work

money is the limiting factor here. It's prestigious teaching at the U, but not always lucrative.

trw

[TSi_II]

The more I think about it..... The more I'm leaning towards a "S14" 240sx (95-98) seems like an ok choice too......

[Pointdsm]

I thought you were in money troubles, and your selling your DSM, why buy that car then??

[TSi_II]

Is there something I don't know about 240's? I don't mean an all out SR20 real S14, I mean a bone stock 240sx from 1995-1998, just something I won't shove so much money into.... I suppose Honda is a better bet anyhow.... I dunno it won't happen until spring anyhow.

[EVILUTION]

Well I finished up an unlisted mod last night. I replaced my resonated testpipe with a straight pipe. The resonated testpipe actually shrunk down to 2.5" instead of 3". Oddly I noticed no difference in sound with the straight pipe. Odds are it wont do much for performance but at least I have a piece of mind knowing its 3" from the turbo back.

I also get the added bonus of selling the resonated one.

I'm thinking about putting an electric dump on the car. That way I could run the stock catback and have the car nice and quiet until I want to go fast. The only problem with that is that I like to go fast all the time. The stock exhaust is also about 30lbs heavier than the SS 3" unit I have on there now. So I'm undecided about that business. Maybe I'll just install the silencer in the fart can when I want it quiet. Hmmmmm.

[Pointdsm]

Quick little report from tonight. The talon is now in pieces, bumper is off, lights are off, headlights are gone, FMIC is off, struts are off, and stock FPR is off. I wanted to quickly install the AFPR, but I got cold and didn't want to deal with it tonight.

[TomKat]

I bought my 240SX last year and it's been a great car. No modifications other than maintenance. It's a great handling car and an excellent choice for drifting or autocross events.

[TSi_II]

Hmmmmm maybe I could then understand all this autocross talk and road racing you all seem to love so much. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

[EVILUTION]

Why don't you just return your DSM to stock and drive it like a normal human being. Once the are fixed and not beat on they are fairly reliable.

[Greg86z28]

I'm replacing my clutch and maybe buying new heads

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Why don't you just return your DSM to stock and drive it like a normal human being. Once the are fixed and not beat on they are fairly reliable.

I had a few DSM's that I left complete or nearly all stock, most reliable cars i have ever had. And I drive to marshfield and back every day for work. If you want some help putting your car back to stock and making in run better, let me know, i got tons of stock shit.

[Greg86z28]

Cold weather always gets me too lol :(

That's a big negatory from TomKat. I had a stock DSM with lots of problems and even when they were new they had lots of problems.

It was probably just an abused car with tons of abused miles on it.

I don't think his two mods are whats creating problems with the car. Its just a typical problematic dsm.

How many dsm's do you know of that went over 200K miles? I have hondas that are pushing 250K I've sold hondas that were pushing 300K and still going strong.

Ooooooooo

[DontStopMe]

How many early 90's hondas could run a 13sec 1/4 with less $300 in mods? my FWD has over 170,000, my AWD over 145,000. My old 1.6 celica had over 200,000 but was slow as shit. I'll take performance over miles anyday.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

look at some of the n/t DSM's running around. Got a friend that has a 92 n/t 2.0L(still the 4g63 engine) and he's at 210k. a turbo will add twice the amount of stress on an engine.

K so you know of one pushing 195K and some other with 210K

I own three with over 200K and know of over 8 others with over 150 - 200K

There have been hondas on H-T that have been knowen to go over 500K and a couple over 750K with original motors and routine maintenance like brakes, timing belts, ect. find a dsm that can say that. Hell find any car company beside toyota that can say that.

[EVILUTION]

I dont really car how many miles a car has on it. Lifespan isn't completely reliant on mileage. If the guy likes his DSM then he should fix it and enjoy it. If he gets a honda only because VPT claims they last forever and he feels like a douche driving it then he isn't gonna be any happier.

agree.

Anything will last as long as you take care of it and do the general work to it.

[TomKat]

Did you mean isn't completely reliant on mileage?
The point VPT and I are trying to make is if you decide to run a Honda or Toyota you can count on the car without having to worry about repairing it all the time. That way you can concentrate on your driving as opposed to worrying if your car is going break down. The best modification to any car is an improved driver.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

like VPT said, if you do the regular maintanance, a car will last a long time. I lot of people that own DSM's sadly do not perform the regular maintanance.

[VPT]

like VPT said, if you do the regular maintanance, a car will last a long time. I lot of people that own DSM's sadly do not perform the regular maintanance.

Yes but by maintenance I don't mean tranny rebuilds, transfer case replacements, electrical problems, motor replacements, ect.

I mean maintenance like most honda owners see, oil changes, air filter changes, plugs and wires every 100K, brakes every 60 - 100K and thats it.

I do everything what my owners manual say what to replace curtain miles. My ford festiva has 158k with all orginal plugs but one too bad I can't get them out because they are like welded in any idea to get them out?

Bottles are for babies. I'd rather have the power all the time.

Damn it. I knew i was forgetting something. You should have said NOS instead of NX, then I would have remembered!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

fuck NAWS, "you'll blow the welds on the intake."

[EVILUTION]

VPT ..... what honda have you owned that you put 200k miles on without changing the tranny motor ecu ... ect. Have you put that many miles on any one car?

Toms CRX has a swap, Kurt's honda has a different motor, hell your CRX has been rebuilt several times and I doubt its even seen a thousand miles, bla bla bla....... its no different than any other car.

Like I said before mileage isn't everything.....odds are most responsibly driven and maintained 15 second highway turds will last 200k miles.

[TomKat]

275k miles on the race Accord. Rattle didn't get a swap because the engine was bad.

Drag car had 225K on it when I got it, sold the motor to devilish because he doesn't like to change oil and he has been driving on that motor since.

Texas has 235K original motor/trans.

Ghetto is pushing 140K original motor/trans Not much yet but will no doubt go over 200K easy


How many miles have you put on a car evil? Have you ever owned a car with over 100K? Maybe you should try keeping a car for more than 2 years and see if you can make it last insted of selling them before they break.

[EVILUTION]

Ha ha nice try.... I think you are missing my point..... it doesn't need to be a honda to hit 200k carefree miles. I think he should just fix his DSM.

As for me I break all kinds of shit. You should know, back in the day you fixed most of it for me. I beat the living fuck out of my vehicles if they break they break. We should get back on topic .....

What mods does VPT have in store for the CRX?

[devlish]

had 225K on it when I got it, sold the motor to devilish because he doesn't like to change oil and he has been driving on that motor since.

he's not joking there folks!! i've put on 50k+ since i got it, and honestly, i change the oil & filter once, maybe twice a year at best. i add oil when the light comes on. i drain the spark plug wells when the oil does get changed, and i almost splurged on a new air filter this year (the first in 4+yrs) but they were out of stock at the moment, so i held off.

her belts squeek when it's cold, and every now and then the fuel relay goes goofy, but a few quick pounds under the dash and she fires right up! i trust this car more than anything i've EVER owned i think. she may not be pretty, and the exhaust may have more larger holes than your average vegas hooker, but she drives just fine for me!!! i'm NOT a Honduh fan at all, but i have to admit... i like it! they just don't have an AWD car or i'd have one already and the CRV is too girly for me.

[Extremedsm]

they just don't have an AWD car or i'd have one already and the CRV is too girly for me.

They did make a 4wd one though. My dad had an 86 civic thingy that was 4wd. You want to talk about slow, I could have almost beat that thing in a 1/4 mile on my trek mountain bike.

[Pointdsm]

With you riding the bike!!!!?????

I'll race ya with my festiva :lol:

[EVILUTION]

There are tons of cars that run forever. My 94 ranger was beat on from day one to 100k miles. I didn't have a single problem. No fuel pumps, no belt issues, nothing and the only thing I did was change the oil. I'm sure its still on the road running strong. The last time I car-faxed the VIN it had been registed with 176k miles.

Hondas are no different than anything else. They are no more reliable and there's nothing special about them. These days new cars are still under warranty at 100k miles.

You dont have to be stuck with a honda. All you have to do it find a car you like and take care of it .... if that.

[cashsaudio]

Wanna know whats the worst vehicle to own?! ANY GM'S only mostly the v6 and 4 bangers. Damn I seen more gm's than any other vehicle break down. I had to force my gf to sell the Corsica and get a new car because I wasn't going to make her spend anymore because it was mostly something wrong with the wiring or something and it was a 96 with just under 100k when it started to act up. Now she's proud of her new 98 Intrepid with 110k on it with not a damn problem. O as for the new owner of that corsica replaced pretty much what I alright replace and also replace the whole engine yep still has that problem that doesn't have any power when you accel. Besides HONDA MOTORSPORTS mean HOMO dipshit. lol

[ZXTUNER]

my car has 140k and i beat the piss out of it daily never had any real big problems still on stock clutch ford baby yeah LOL

Yeah Honda's have one of the worst warranties in the industry, but they sell a lot of cars and have a great reputation. Hmmmm.

Go buy yourself a car with one of the best warranties in the industry. Mitshubishi, Kia, etc. Take care of it and do all the maintenance you can think of. If the car is crap from the start it will not be reliable and you will get to know all the service advisors at the dealership by name.

Actually Evo has owned 1 car that I know of that had over 100K and that was the GSX that I bought from him and I believe that was pushing 150K when I sold and it was still running fine when it left for Connecticut.

Mods for the winter for my car or actually fixing shit on my car is

New lifters
New wheel bearing
New front mount
Cams
Possibly a different set of rims and tires
Gotta get that bitch tuned right since I had to get a new battery, I think the dsmlink went back to the default settings

That's all I can think of for the moment :wink:

Is Tomkat trying to say you can tell how good a car is by its warranty? That is just plain stupid.

Hondas are so popular because more than half worlds population is Asian.

It looks like the bad warranty concept has passed Evil up. I'll put it another way:

Hondas have a really bad warranty, but what most consumers know is that you will rarely need to use that warranty. Honda sells as axxpile of cars and have a great reputation with many many happy customers. Now how can they offer a crap warranty and keep so many people happy?????

I've talked to people that have worked at Courtesy Honda - Chrysler for many years. They average about 3 Chrysler buy backs a month due to the lemon laws. Ask them about Honda buy backs and they think they've had 2 since they started selling Honda's. Hmmmmmmm.

Evil's old DSM (grumpy): Evil was constantly working on that car. When I'd visit the car would be in the garage up on jack stands. When he sold it to DSM Girl I remember him bitching about all the repair work he needed to do before he sold it to her. Hmmmm.

[VPT]

Intresting.

[EVILUTION]

Honda has the same warranty as ford. So I guess ford is also at the top of the charts.

BTW the only work I did on my GSX was performance related.

[TomKat]

Cough Cough - BULLSHIT - Cough Cough

[EVILUTION]

Frank and I did replace a bearing in the tranny. It was a $10 part and the work was performed when removing my Shep tranny w/spool. That was it. Cough Cough what other work did I do?

I did do some performance and appearance mods but only in the name of going-fast.

[VPT]

Why was there a shep trans in the car?

[EVILUTION]

I purchased the shep tranny because it had dual sychros and a bulletproof spool in it. I reinstalled the stock tranny when I sold it and sold the Shep for what I paid for it.

[VPT]

Makes no sense, you realy realy hate working on cars and getting dirty, why go threw the trouble of changing a trans if there was nothing wrong with it?

[EVILUTION]

I put a racing clutch in the car and didn't want to risk putting a high mileage tranny back in. It really wasn't that much work.

Thats the beauty of a DSM or EVO.... you can buy a nearly new used part and run it for a year then sell it for the same price you paid. I can stick $4000 into mods on the EVO and get $3500 back in a year or two.

So another car that you owned needed a clutch. Good thing the jeep doesn't have a clutch.

Hmmm.....I guess I could have used your approach instead.....

All I would have had to do is cut the dash out of the car, used a hammer to pound all the insulation off the floor, removed the windows and replaced them with rivets and plexi, yanked out the back seats, pulled the headliner off, toss out the door panels, and removed all safety devices..... with all that weight reduction I bet the stock clutch would have held for sure!!!!

If that didn't work I could pull another VPT maneuver and just not drive the car at all.

275k miles on the race Accord. Rattle didn't get a swap because the engine was bad.

no, it was 276,650 and change, I thought.

of course, my '78 oldsmobile delta 88 had 298k+ on it when the tranny finally died. doing donuts with 7 people in the car, and accidentally shifting into reverse while going 70 didn't really seem to help the tranny much at all. heh.

I'm going back to sleep now.

That's all you got? An unsubstantiated insult? LOL!


What was I sposed to say? Thanks for acknowledging the work I done on my race car? Thanks buddy. :D

[EVILUTION]

I've decided to run this clutch until it totally takes a shit. Hope it'll make it till spring. Then I'm gonna put my extra stocker in and call it a day. By the time that one takes a shit I should be ready for a new car.

[Pointdsm]

Suspension is off, new springs and control arms will be on tomorrow. Brakes are off, the new stuff can wait. SAFC is installed, but not wired yet. AFPR is installed, the big thing to do is my headlights, that will be next week.

[TomKat]

What are you doing to your headlights? Getting ready for another Golden Sands night event?

[Pointdsm]

Hell yea I am, actually if we have that I might throw some neons on the car during the day that day and run them that night, just for shits and giggles. Oh, my headlights don't work on the talon, lets leave it at that.

[devlish]

HIDs in the talon huh??

[Pointdsm]

No, devlish, look at ArcticTSI's car on DSMtalk if you want to figure it out.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

No, devlish, look at ArcticTSI's car on DSMtalk if you want to figure it out.DSMtalk is gay.

[Pointdsm]

Well, i think he is on tuners too, at least talk isn't so fricken strict on grammar!

[devlish]

wait, his headlights are that stupid "sleep-eyed" look. makes your pop-ups look broken. why would you want that???

http://www.arctic-racing.com/media/sig2.jpg

if you want to delete your popups, put some really good driving lights inside the clear housing, and either weld your popup lids to the hood and repaint or just disconnect them. but for the love of god, don't do the broken headlight look. looks pretty ghetto and stupid if you ask me. but hey, it's your car man...

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Well, i think he is on tuners too, at least talk isn't so fricken strict on grammar!

tuners is not that bad, but if you make a post with 5 mistakes, they dont like that. I understand their point, DSM's seem to attract a lot of young kids who dont have an IQ of shit. So you get all these post with the same question, and then on top of it, can't spell or use incorrect grammer.

[Pointdsm]

I just like that they're so attached to searching, that part pisses me off when they don't search, but the grammer stuff can be a little laxed.
Devlish: Look on his website, he doesn't have those anymore, and i have been running my headlights like that ever since i left for school, cuz they broke.

[Pointdsm]

woah, didn't see your post below the picture. I'm getting rid of my popups, but leaving the pop-up lids on for now, i might weld them to the hood during the summer. I'm doing the driving lights thing.

[TSi_II]

Like Extreme has or differently?

[Pointdsm]

Very similar to what extreme has, probably better lights though.

[TSi_II]

Eh, just put on a 1Gb front end if you're that worried about it.

[Pointdsm]

I do not want to do that much work, and i like the 1ga front end, just not the pop-ups when they're up.

[TomKat]

Better have a buddy ride along with you at the GS night auto-x event. He can hold the flashlight out the window so you will be able to see where you are going.

[Pointdsm]

I'll have extra bright neons.

[TomKat]

LOL :lol:

It doesn't matter if you can see where you are going. Just as long as you look good doing it.

[Pointdsm]

HELL YA, just like if you crash, "that was an ugly spin!" "Yea, but did you see how I drifted through the grass and my new wheels looked in the dirt!"

[devlish]

so your shit will still look brokend then huh? ok.

your hood has a bunch of peeling clearcoat anyways doesn't it? weld it, paint it, and have a new hood when youre done! hooray!!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I vote to just do the 1gb conversion.

[devlish]

no, stick with the 1ga, just do it right so it doesn't look half-assed or broken. the 1gb isn't as 'mean' looking, and it requires the fenders, hood, bumper, headlights. a LOT more work and paint than just doing the hood the right way.

and maybe add some good driving lights

[Pointdsm]

WHAT?? My pop-ups don't look broke if they never ever come up. The lids will stay down and will be unwelded for the time being, until i decide to weld them to the hood.

[TomKat]

I wouldn't put too much effort into making your factory headlights non functional. What you are doing is illegal so -if- you get caught you may be forced to return it to stock.

Come to think of it I believe Smyrz made the headlights in his Vette non functional. Hmmm. Yeah it's a great idea. Thumbs up. :?

[TSi_II]

I still like 1gb Talon bumpers more than 1ga.....
Is it against the rules to run an autocross with no front bumper cover (it's not an idea, I'm just curious)?

[TomKat]

It's not against the rules, but it will effect what class you can run.

[TSi_II]

Ah I see.... Because you'd think a lot of guys with FMIC's would run without, but on high speed courses, I could understand why you would keep the bumper on...

[TomKat]

I've seen several cars autocross without front bumpers, but non of them had front mount intercoolers. The reason people do it is because it takes quite a bit of weight off the front of the car.

[EVILUTION]

I've seen several cars autocross without front bumpers

That is simply retarded. If they care that much about going fast they might as well just run a formula SAE car.

[SgtRauksauff]

Or it could be that say, on an old-school car when bumpers were actually bumpers rather than plastic sheets with a bit of foam behind them, the bumpers themselves stick out far enough to get in the way of the cones. So, by taking them off, you can actually get close to the cones on a good line. Plus, bumpers from that era are around 150+lbs, which is definitely going to affect handling, regardless.

Of course, if you're driving an econobox, I'd leave the bumper on if it's all the protection your radiator/FMIC has.

--sarge

[devlish]

not sure if this goes in here, or in my Bday thread, since the box was shipped on my Bday... but here's what was in the box....

4 new guages, including a WideBand 02, UPD kit, All new gaskets & belts, ARP Studs, Chromoly Trans Plate & Girdle, some poly bushings, oil & water pumps. what a great Bday gift for me & my car!!! and my next line of winter mods i guess.

[Pointdsm]

Heres my great winter progress, everything is still off the car, got my AFPR on and the inlet line installed. Two nuts on the top of my left front strut decided to strip, keeping the strut on the car, don't know how to work on that one. Spilled brake fluid on my pants, messed them up. SAFC doesn't want to mount right either, its a great day today. DIZMM, when are you going to swap EGT gauges, can i quickly plug mine into ur car and see if it works while the wires are out and stuff? Otherwise CTAK is getting a bitching.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

i wont have the egt gauge hooked up for a while. if you do however want to barrow part of the egt gauge, let me know and u can. right now i do not have it installed and probably wont have it installed for a while due to 10 other projects.

[Pointdsm]

Well, if i can test the gauge on a car with the probe in it already, just to see if it works.

[EVILUTION]

I've stripped them strut bolts before.... The bolt is pressed in and can easily be pressed out. Then you just use a regular bolt. I spot welded the replacement bolt in place and it worked fine. If you have aftermarket struts you may be able to purchase just the bolt that you need to press in.

[Pointdsm]

Um, kinda confused. The bolt is fine, just that the nut on it keeps spinning. I would really like to not replace the whole bolt in the strut too.

[devlish]

PDSM...
A: why were you working in good pants that even matter if you spilled brake fluid on them?
B: just replace the stud on there with a new nut/bolt. if the nut "just keeps spinning" that stud is probably bad too. grind it all off, and replace with a NEW nut/bolt combo and be done with it. happened to me too, it's an EASY fix. it will take you less time to do that than it will to try and devise a plan to remove all that shit and save that worthless stud.

[Pointdsm]

Ok, i'll ge the cut-off wheel out tomorrow. Also, i wasn't doing interior stuff, and walked around the car and knocked a bottle of used brake fluid over onto my pants...yea still stupid, but not as bad as it could have been. Thing that makes me mad, is one bolt, its a brand new bolt for my strut that i replaced last summer, yet now it will not turn, even with a torch on it. My impact is WEAK!

[devlish]

Um, kinda confused. The bolt is fine, just that the nut on it keeps spinning...

its a brand new bolt for my strut that i replaced last summer, yet now it will not turn, even with a torch on it. My impact is WEAK!...

well, which one is it? the nut keeps spinning? or it will not turn?? i still say grind it off. but if nothing is 'spinning', yes, you can try a bigger impact or put a rod over your breaker bar and get some more leverage.

[Pointdsm]

Sorry, talking about two different bolts. The nut is spinning on the 14mm nuts on the top of the strut. The bolt will not spin on the lower 19mm bolt on the bottom of the rear strut.

[VPT]

Must be a dsm thing, sawzall's, grinders, and cut off wheels work wounders. Replace the spinning bolt.

[EVILUTION]

Maybe PDSM could post a picture.

[Pointdsm]

What do you want..i can have it for you in 5 minutes. My new fpr, the stuck bolt, the stripped bolt..the camber arms, the safc..what, haha.

[EVILUTION]

I just put the stock air filter and stock cd player back in Darth.

Yesterday I pulled the aftermarket intercooler piping and diverter valve and have listed those forsale.

My engine managment system is up for grabs as well but its a big ticket item and slow to sell.

I'm real close to putting the stock exhaust back on.

[Pointdsm]

Found out how to get around the 2 stripped nuts, just compress the spring and drop it out from the bottom and leave the top piece there. New spring is on, just need to get my swaybar out and the new one in and the front is almost done. Was searching last night, i think i'm going to re-due my intercooler piping a different way now too, so i removed all that shit today as well.

One reason for only twice is I got pulled over both times. Plus that is two more times than I seen any black evos downtown this year.

[EVILUTION]

That is two more times than I seen any black evos downtown this year.

That is because you were too scared to show up when Darth was around. I suppose you'll start talking smack now that 50% of the go fast parts have been removed.

[TomKat]

Don't worry about it Evil. Just race him with the EVO X. 8)

p.s. If you order that new EVO X with an automatic I will be calling you a pussy every time I see you.

I'm not worried about anything. Hell if VPT is ready to line up today I'll run him right now.

I was downtown alot this last summer and I only seen you in the lot twice, once with the truck because your evo was all torn apart and broken down in the garage and you were looking for a tap or some shit and one other time on your bike or walking with the dog.

[devlish]

Ummm, salt. Has to be in season at least.

wait a min here... i can get down with the "in season" comment... but that silver crx of yours has more bigger holes in it than a las vegas whore!!! who do you think your joking!?!?!?!? a little salt won't hurt that thing one bit.

[EVILUTION]

I didn't know that all racing stops when temp drops below 50*. Also we know you are bs'ing when you say you worry about the tranny and engine because those leak soo much oil that they'll never rust! Hell the entire car is probably protected!

I've come to the conclusion that there are only two days a year that you are ready to race. Maybe thats why you got ganked both times, the cops know what those two days are.

Now that the season is over you claim you asked me to race you? Incorrect. You did invite me to WIR for a run next season and you did this because you know I will never go to WIR again. You are using that as cover to avoid a race. We all know if I did show up you probably wouldn't.

I'll do you a solid and let you know that I'm done calling you out. BTW you can save your breath cause I'm not gonna race your broke dick gas guzzler at all now. You've simply pussed out too many times to even consider it.

Yeah, I got all the lead within the first few seconds, then after that, you started gainin on me. I lose a lot of my top end power due to stock cams.

Also somehow pdsm launched his car like a pussy, otherwise he would have done shit loads better.

[Pointdsm]

I know, reminds me how i forgot to get a clutch this winter, oh well, summer item.

[devlish]

i'd make clutch a NOW item, so you can get a few break-in miles on it before you start playing hardball with it.

[Pointdsm]

Well, no time to break it in anyways. Maybe i'll buy it then install over spring break, it would get some miles then. Remember, the car is just going to sit anyways.

[devlish]

yep... but if you install it BEFORE you start driving it much this spring, it will get some 'around town' miles before you start beating on it. wheras if you wait til the middle of summer, you'll end up installing and then taking it to the track very soon afterwards. just my .02 sitting won't hurt it.

but who am i to talk... i took my brand new 0 mile clutch to 18psi on it's first trip down the road, multiple times repeatedly. the clutch has about 20 miles on it, and about 15miles where full throttle testing. so whatever.

[Pointdsm]

Well, no time and money for a clutch right now, thats why it will wait till spring, and it will get 200 miles going to and from whitewater, and around town in whitewater, so that will work fine before blackhawk.

I can't believe how much slower the car is with the stock exhaust. They claim the stocker is nearly 2.5" but even with the smaller exhaust and cat I wouldn't expect it to be so slow.

Glad the pipes worked out for you, just give me a hollar when you need them welded.

[EVILUTION]

Actually I doubt that will be the case. Just look at the 2GB DSMs.... they are selling for much more than KBB. Also the EVO10 will be buggy its first year out (not available till 2008). In addition it will take at least another year for perf shops to develop aftermarket turbos, cams, and ECU upgrades that work well together. That was the beauty of the 4G63 ... 15 years of 4G63 R&D backing the EVO. We dont even know if the new motor will be 500whp ready like the current version is. I know Tomcat claims that all aluminum blocks are just fine but he's thinking of V8 motors. For Zoey to pull off what the 4g63 is doing .... with 4 more cylinders ... it would have to safely hold 1000hp on the stock block.

[TomKat]

Just call up Lingenfelter or several other aftermarket companies - write a check and you got your 1,000 hp+ small block Chevy with a warranty.

I ordered the timing belt tentioner tool today. I would have just built one but it was only $10 at spxmiller tools. I'll probably pull the cams and cam gears next weekend.

Anyone else have an update on their winter mods?

[Pointdsm]

Its too fucking cold!

[devlish]

scrubbed some door seals clean today, emptied out the trunk, and realized that i did NOT put all the interior screws/bolts in a baggie in the hatch... uh-oh! not sure where to look for them next. over the last week or so, i went through all the parts in the basement, and think i'm ready to go. just need to wait for a free weekend to take the car to Dizzms house and pull the motor. then from there, it goes to the body shop to have a fender fixed, then be wetsanded & buffed. but's thats still off a month or so. probably late february-ish i imagine.

[EVILUTION]

I can't wait for the UPS woman to get here!!!

Andy's getting showed up!

[Pointdsm]

Slapped the rear tires on today just to check my camber(if it was good enough to get to the shop come spring), can't wait for it to get on all 4's so i can really look at it, and drive it to get it all settled down. I love these gp wheels, the tires come right to the edge of the fender, perfect. Front and rear strut bars are also in, front brakes are going on tomorrow along with a trip to VPT for some cutting.

[EVILUTION]

Post some pics.

[Pointdsm]

tomorrow i will.

[EVILUTION]

I still have those jeep wheels available. If someone wants just the tires I can do that too.

[Pointdsm]

Did a post by "shelby" get deleted as well now?

Anywho, heres the pics, the car is still on the blocks, i forgot to buy the front rotors(not sure how i did that, but when i looked for them tonight, i didn't have them).

I don't think so but update for me.
My jeep new wheels and tires are being shipped fed ex from NC
Charger is slowly getting it engine remove.
sundance almost ready to be yanked
Arrow still sitting haven't done a thing with it.

[EVILUTION]

I like the Grand Am rims.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I like the Grand Am rims.

Me too, wonder where they came from :roll:

[Pointdsm]

I like them too, cept for the 1/4" of sludge that was on the inside of them. Basically just made each wheel 1lbs lighter by getting that off, haha.

[EVILUTION]

Well I got the timing belt tensioner tool today so I should be able to pull the cams this week (if it warms up).

[Pointdsm]

Well, just sold some old parts today(yes in whitewater, haha). Don't have much to buy for the car now expect tires and labor, so i'm done for about 2 months.

[Posihead]

This Winter I plan on doing nothing to my car at all, it's just going to collect dust and stay slow!
























:wink:

I guess nobody in here understands what sarcasm is... :roll:

Hmmm, ummm... UPDATE! My car has no engine, transmission, or rear end... It also has no stock steering or suspension parts anymore... drrrrrrrrr........................! :lol:

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

why'd ya part out your car?

[Pointdsm]

You mean you actually put the bar in your car? I thought you'd hang that thing up for show looking how proud you were about that thing.

[Posihead]

You mean you actually put the bar in your car? I thought you'd hang that thing up for show looking how proud you were about that thing.

No, I am not parting out my car....

Neimi your an idiot, so stop posting on here, thankyou!

I brought the bar to work to measure it so I could get the proper size bushings you retard...

Go put some steering column bolts in kiddo, and stop playing on the net. Oh, can you put my lugnuts on backwards for me too? I hear your good at it! Do us all a favor and PLEASE SELL ALL YOUR TOOLS NOW!!!

[EVILUTION]

I guess nobody in here understands what sarcasm is... :roll:

.... you didn't sence the cynicism?

I think you might have gone overboard on weight reduction. You need the engine tranny and rear end.

[Pointdsm]

And your the one telling us to take the sarcasm, wow!

[EVILUTION]

.........anyway that sounds like alot of work. Who do you think you'll be competing with next summer?

[fordssuck]

Well his car should be done by rapids car cruise... 550+HP look out evil...

[Pointdsm]

wow, any pictures or hints?? sounds inpressive..

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

Well his car should be done by rapids car cruise... 550+HP look out evil...

better be done before that.

[EVILUTION]

I'm not worried.... Darth's racing days are over. Now its a full time grocery getter. Maybe Makya or Caseman will give him a run. I drove Casey's EVO9 on Monday, what a sweet car.

[fordssuck]

Bretts car might acctually be faster then my ride this summer. it will be close, me and him have a little friendly competition going.

[TSi_II]

Casey as in the one who had the red S-10? I talked to him at Copp's a month or so ago and he was plannin on gettin rid of the S10 and 4 wheeler for an Evo, looks like he followed through.

[TomKat]

Well his car should be done by rapids car cruise... 550+HP look out evil...

If you're going to make up some ridiculous hp figure why not go big: 550,000 hp. Now that's impressive. :?

[devlish]

TK knows... if your gonna lie... LIE DAMNIT, LIE!!!

[fordssuck]

Tk if you only knew......

[TomKat]

Well don't tell me. Remember I like suprises.

I think Devlish has something up his sleeve too. I overheard something about his GLH having 551 hp. That Camaro doesn't stand a chance.

[EVILUTION]

Yes (S10) Caseman got a silver EVO9. Pretty fricking nice and he got a good price on it too. He was kinda bent that I sold my MR wheels to TC though!

Makya also purchased a silver 2004. I actually know the guy who had the car before him. It wasn't even beat on. His has a set of 18" gunmetal wheels.

EVOs are going to be as popular as DSMs pretty soon!!!

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

now lets see if those 4 door evo's can hang with the sporty DSM's

[EVILUTION]

Is your DSM race ready today?

[TomKat]

Dizmm always has some kind of DSM ready to go. Currently he is the favorite to take home the Winter Beater trophy for 2006/07.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]

I am more ready than ever. car no longer takes more oil than gas now, boost is turned up a little, and did some more tuning, she's much faster than before.

[devlish]

Well don't tell me. Remember I like suprises.

I think Devlish has something up his sleeve too. I overheard something about his GLH having 551 hp. That Camaro doesn't stand a chance. hmmm..... no, nothing like that that i can think of. i'd like to dyno over 225 at the wheels and run a 13.XX, i'd be satisfied with an econoshitbox daily driven 4door running a 13 sec. qtr mile. so sorry, no big secrets here.

but if it makes you feel better, we can pretend! So yea, she should run an 11, on street radials, with a stereo in the back, and dyno somewhere just over 632.5 on the juice. so look out Zoey too!

[EVILUTION]

Come to think of it, I could use another trophy on my shelf. Lets run one tonight. Pick a time and a place.

[devlish]

i hope your talking to Dizmm.... and then call me on your way out Evil, you can pick me up for the festivities!! haven't chatted w/ you in a while anyways.

[Dizmm, (Old Account)]
