Wow, this car is still around? Nice to see it's in capable hands. Makes me wonder what happened to my old DSM.

I wonder as well...I always liked your car!

I watched this thing travel around on CL and here, good to see it's up and running good!

I saw that car on craigslist. I wish I would of looked at it but oh while its in good hands. Glad to see that ecu worked out for you. You taking it to boost for boobies or the spring dyno day

boost for boobies is my current goal for getting things done. then i do plan on being at a few dyno days and other events as well.

Ive got some Drop Engineering Motor Mounts on the way along with the fuel injector seals and a few other goodies.

Yeah, never thought my excellent condition rust free shell would trade so many hands. Kind of makes me wish I never got rid of it...

well ive been collecting goodies over the past couple weeks

front and rear strut bars. drop engineering motor mounts. tubular from crossmember with poly bushing, and fic bluemax 1450's

the fuel injectors went in a few days ago and motor mounts and crossmember in today. couldnt break the bolts on the rear mount with the engine in the car, got those soaking in pb right now though.

gotta say with the front crossmember from bulfab. it is a great piece. i got the single piece bar. and it cleans up a shit ton of slop vs just running the stock front crossmember. the stock crossmember alot causes the engine to pivot back and forth because of the rubber mounting bushings. the tubular front crossmember has solid mounts to the car and does not pivot as the stock piece did. very stable and offers A LOT more room to get to things from under the car.

Those drop mounts are pretty good. Drop sent a set when they first came out. I didn't get to drive with them much, but they're darn nice looking. I almost wished the bushings were a little softer though, as with cams, it did have some vibration at idle. Much better than solids though lol. It's nice to see more than a few people doing the tubular front cross members, they look pretty nice.

yea they are pretty nice. i think the avid mounts are a little nicer looking but they are 25% more money. the avids do however have selectable "stiffness"
