std arps. and a oem composite head gasket
Were they the same ARPs that were in it while it was pushing coolant? Were you guys ever able to figure out why it was pushing coolant?

Yeah I will get the cable to you as soon as I get it back from stephen chang.
No worries, I figured this weekend with the cookout you two will both be around. Didn't mean to make it seem like a big deal

Who did the work on this car previous to Mike having it?? Sucks to fix it right when you get it when it was supposed to be fixed before Mike bought it.
I think Mark and the the previous owner fixed it. Its a car and I bought it hearing the noise so I knew it was there. It's not a huge deal, 1g's are easy enough to pull the trans on. If the noise is still there next week I'll just pull the trans to feel better about it. Again I bought it know it, shit happens it. Its a car.

Why did Mike sell it so soon?
He got a new job and needed a more gas friendly vehicle. Haha I don't know, I was glad to pick it up. Also when does Mike ever keep a car very long?:lol:

I know I sold Bryan my ACT streetlite flywheel when he had it apart also, not sure if that is in the car or if it was in the spare parts pile that came with it when Mike bought it.
Yep, I got the flywheel with the car too!



If I can sell my bike I might pick up a regular daily and either make this into a beast or keep my eye out for a 2g auto shell.

Ohhh, well perfect. Here is to hoping it doesn't push coolant any more!:drive:

Maybe It isn't the tob, who knows.

Again thanks for the info! I really appreciate it!

Yeah this car was an impulse buy after I sold the evo. Let me know if you need help with pulling the trans.

Fer sure, Mike is good shit! I was actually pumped when I got his call asking if I was still looking for a dsm. I wanted to scoop this thing up quick before anybody else had the chance to grab it.

Plan for now is just to drive it and enjoy it. I do miss the power my 2g had but I think I'll have just as much fun driving a mid 300awhp car around not having to worry about stupid little things. Want to make it a beast some day but not until I get my own garage to work on it in and can do it at a nice slow pace.

I'll give you a call if I end up doing it. Thanks again for the car! Hope you get a nice new car!

Yea I like the combo on it to and figured nothing is needed to it to be a great car. Hopefully I can shine it up a bit before Sunday

Sounds solid, clean up any loose ends and drive it as is until something goes boom.

If the CEL came on you are probably knocking considering you are running 30psi, sh1t. I don't think anyone ever answered my question, what did you pay for this beast?
