Just got my car back after the total re-do of everything on the cam belt side of the motor and it is tons better. I get the car home, tighten the exhaust manifold bolts and it gets alot faster still. Then I decide to paint the rusty MAF and I discover that there is a rubber adapter on the turbo that wasn't put on correctly causing half of the airflow to the turbo to be blocked. I remidy that situation, go through and tighten all of the other hose clamps and whatnot. Needless to say, I have traction issues now. I'm happy once again.

Thanks to Art...you fucking rock dude!

 

Woot! Rarely have I seen a DSMer happy with their car! Savor this moment!

 

holy shit i know good for you man dont cherrish that feeling for too long tho lol

 

It's quite fun, boost is alot more violent than my SR20det 240 was. Hits harder and earlier. Must get exhaust though.

 

disconnect your downpipe = instant fun

 

all i can say is that car has the right owner somone who will take care of it and do it right a big thub's up to crag on a clean 1st gen!

Yeah but he will probably sell it before it reaches its full potental

it is nice to hear someone who has had about every performance platform speak highly of their DSM. Good luck to you

 

Thanks for all of the kind words. Just finished sweating my balls off in the garage cleaning everything under the hood. White paint is a bitch. Also painted the rusty battery tray, cleaned out the ICS (replaced rubber o ring as well) and re-tightened everything. I really do like this car.

 

man im real happy for you you are right where i wanted to be with the car im glad it all worked out for you....... is there still a idle surge? hit me up on aim soon

 

Craig with a DSM? He's registered on TBDSM? What is the world coming to?
