(Its long, dont bitch about the length. Don't read it if you dont want to)

Saturday night, me and my buddy decided to kick it at home and drink a couple beers and take the motor out of his car. We had to have a little MORE fun before we took out the motor though...

First off, this is the same car we popped off the waste gate line. The car was smoking out of the breather and we were having a rough time getting fuel for some reason lol.

Tauni, her friend, and my good friend chad showed up. Kc got the bright idea to throw some sea foam through a vacuum line and give it a go. His excuse was " it will make everything cleaner!" but in all reality, it was just another reason to beat on it.

So KC hops in Taunis car with a cam corder, and off we go. The car is SO fucked, I didnt really get to woop on it. But we flew around the neighbor hood at 10pm with no hood, smoking coming out of every crevits of the thing. It was fun. I will see if i can get the stupid vid hoested somewhere.

Anyways, we get back to KCs with kc and chad and we got going at it. About 30 minutes into it, Tauni and her friend start grabbin wrenches!! Lol, they took off the DP, PS, heat shield etc. Hell I coulda just sat there and watched. Granted they had issues with finding the correct tools, but it was just great! Yes the odd part is that they are women, but I guess it isnt much of a shock knowing that she likes DSM's and all.

We then went to perkins ( tranny / suspension only parts left) and Nate shows up. Im sure he was shocked with all of us but yea. We went back to kcs ( KC, nate and I) to finish the job. I swear to god. We spent 2 hours just disconnecting the Xfer case and the axles!! haha, I guess thats what happens when you are tired and want to sleep after eating a bunch of food.

kc and I tried disconnecting the DP bracket for like an hour lol. Nate was just laughing. We were about to just grab a fucking hack saw and saw that bitch off. Eventually we got the Xfer case off. Sadly enough those 2 small parts took as much time as the rest haha. The motor still sits there in the mounts because I was too pissed to finish lol.

It will probably come out soon here, but yea. Just decided to share the odd night.

Yeah, thats about what I am good for, sitting around and laughing. When I woke up this morning my hands WERE dirty though so I must have done something. Ehh, whatever, doesnt help that I didn't meet up with you until like 1am.

Now get your ass outside and finish it.

Yea, Kc was about to shoot someone so I started taking off the transfer case and Nate guided the ratchet to the bolt I couldnt see up top. He also got the backet off. He was basically disgusted with how we had tools laying everywhere. These sorts of things will happen in the garage :)

Nate's a good guy ( he drove about an hour here just to make sure we had it all under control). He missed out on the main reason he came home ( to watch chris C run) just to give us a hand. He does drive a neon, but he knows his shit. For someone who doesnt own a dsm, he sure is good at remembering what size is needed for what bolt, what tool to use where, and exactly the amount of extension to reach a bolt that I forgot was there! This guy knows DSMs well. So to everyone that thinks hes a "dumb_ricer," you are sadly mistaken.

Just to be clear - This is kc's car ( KcGsXrated). This IS happening, there is just a small matter of certain things falling into place at the right time.

Sounds a lot like my setup. Except I kept all the creature comforts like leather interior, AC, PS, etc. Good luck and enjoy.

Are you rebuilding the shortblock that came out of that car? Sounds like you might need more than a hone if it was smoking that bad. Also, what are you doing for a clutch setup? Give me a call if you guys get stuck on something. BTW thanks for the hookup on the 4-bolt, MAF and t-case.

Your welcome for the parts Bernie

We are planning on using a DXD HD south bend clutch. The tranny will stay completely stock for now, and so will the engine unless we come across something we can financially handle.

The goal is 325 WHP on pump.
