Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 
going to put a hot pink vlave cover on the talon. (thanks brandon they are great) also will buff the car for the very first time. we never did it after kevin and I painted a few years ago.

Also got the last 2 fittings for the -8an lines for the evo so that will be going in in the morring. along with the taped hot pink fuel rail

Last Minute Prep for Mitsu Cookout
 
So what last minute stuff have you been working on in prep for the Mitsu Cookout?

For me I have been working on the Talon after taking it out of storage and have been busy with cleaning, cleaning and cleaning. May turn up the boost a bit on the EVO for the dyno challenge.

I may have to enter two cars there this year! Talon will be at the swap meet (for sale) for sure.

Took a quick pic this morning in my driveway.

Put in energy suspension bushings (3 weeks to order and ontop of that FedEx needs help...)

change the rear end to a 4 bolt

POR 15 all the pieces that make up the rear

Clean up the wiring from the MS2 system and make it looks nice(yes, ms2 works!!) Tune it a little...

find a boost gauge to go over 20psi

Found a sun roof with a detachable switch from U pull, install that

Clean, wax, detail, drive, repeat...

Almost there...:1smiley.php:

Last year didn't make it but this year will be there!!:nod:
Energy bushings are in.
4 bolt swap is complete
Cleaned up the whole rear suspension with POR 15 (feel like I should try to put a mirror down to show people what it looks like)

Finished painting the rear brakes, need to install
Then car can sit on 4 wheels

need alignment because I pulled everything apart and now need readjustment

ECU wiring is almost cleaned up and found a good place for my new ECU (sits in the cup holder or center console)

Had all day to work on it. I am going to be close on making it this year.

Well the head is off of my car and I am trying to finish putting that back together, put a new entire convert assembly in including a new top, install component speakers, clean, tune, and install new front a arms, ball joints, and tie rod ends as well as the camber kit!!

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 
I'd like to get my 850cc fuel injectors installed, install my new Energy Suspension rear diff mount bushings, and a good detailing. I was hoping my new rear strut tower brace would be here but no luck. Oh, I should probably get the cone scuff off my front bumper too.

I got my car all buffed out today so it's all nice and shiny now :) I'll attack the engine bay on Friday because it's hideous under there...

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 
FIC 850cc injectors installed and dialed-in, boost increased from 6k RPM+, fuel/timing maps retuned!

Come Saturday I'll detail the car and maybe get my rear diff poly bushings installed :)

Got my turbo and JMF mani on, 1200 injectors are in, turbo intake is fabbed up, and got an oil line from Brandon.

Now I just need my rad fan and have it tuned. So close!

Nice, I really am happy with how those other 2 came out!

What about the fuel rail though???

Took the head off of my car, had it rebuilt thanks to Gosh, and put it back on in 2 days!! Not the interior and to fire it up in the morning.

Car starts, runs, and moves! see you guys at the cook out!

My interior is all ripped apart I don't know if I should put it back together.
However I do have a roll bar that could be installed.
Should I put that in before the cookout?

Re: Cookout is close! Any major plans?
 
Sure, roll bars are cool! :D

Who needs interior....
