Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

[Goat Blower]

The HD's are nice, I wish I had the same 10.5:1's in my car now as I had in the Evo.

[Mark Leasure]

Can't go wrong with some HD's I run them in the evo and race machine.

After pricing out just rods and pistons, a used motor and from someone like Jet looks more like a possibility.

I'll have to update this thread soon with some pics, I've been getting some parts in and well that usually deserves a picture update.

[JET]

Yeah, a short block like mine from MAP is $3,700. It adds up fast. You also know mine was put together right as it has already made decent power and has low miles.

[Goat Blower]

Jet, why are you parting yours out, lost that lovin' feeling? If it helps any, putting mine back to a streetable 2.4/16g car has made it loads more fun than it was with the big turbo/twin disk setup. Must be an old guy thing as a lot of the old NABR members are doing the same thing.

[JET]

I don't want to mess up Brown's thread, I will post one in a few days. I got another DSM that is running and well modded that I will be driving for a bit. After that I am moving up to a 911 twin turbo, hopefully next summer. The silver car has no FMIC, Exhaust or turbo on it and I don't feel like putting the time and effort in it just to sell it again in a year.

GTFO! Old school DSMers!

I keed I keed. I think its a natural thing for people to go big turbo and then back to small esp. if they have had issues or just plain old havent had time for the thing.

To be honest I wish I had a house big enough to just park this thing in a corner and just work on it on the rare occasion I have time.

pic dump time:

Injector resistor pack delete. It doesn't look that ugly in person.

Car before it left our old place, the old center spoiler mounting clips were already cracked and pretty worthless once I took the spoiler off so I plugged the wiper hole for now, I'll have to weld something up since no-one stocks the clips I need.

I had a friend delete the wiper hole from the stock center piece, then i thought I should get the sides done too since it would look really goofy.

I also picked up a shorty billet antenna, i think it looks great.

I also got a custom mount for my V1 so it sits up under the rear view mirror, now I can finally install it cleanly.

I ordered up some custom quick release bumper brackets because R&R'ing my bumper is a pain and usually a 2 man job, i'll snap some better pics when I install.

I've also wanted one of these (FAL dual fan setup), but didn't want the $400 pricetag that usually comes with them. Luckily I found one without said price tag.

Finally my piece de resistance, Infill G4 touchscreen car pc. I got this for dirt and it doesn't even look used. It's always been my dream to get a car pc since I started using link and now I have one! Has built in bluetooth, GPS, windows XP. (pictures suck)

Nice! So are you going to be able install to install link on the carputer? That would be pretty sweet

[turbotalon1g]

Of course I will, it has 1 front USB and 2 rear inputs. It runs windows XP so whatever I can put on that OS i can put on here. It has a 40GB HD, but I know just like other computers you can mod them. A lot of people have installed SSD's in their Infill systems.
