Oh DD is a Evo3 16g car. Ran a 12.3 and want to break into 11s next season.

I get the garage at the end of the month, so expect a bunch of pics when the TSi goes in!!

Tons of 1g's you have there. I've seen you on 'Talk I believe.

Nice work! I like where you put the coolant res.!

Good luck and keep up the good work!

kittay 01-25-2008 05:33 PM

Re: My projects
 
Thanks for the comments. And yes, I'm on talk too :)

Cams kinda fell through, so I'm waiting on those. I'm pretty broke from getting my hours cut at work.

But motor will start getting pulled in 6 days!

HiImBrian 01-25-2008 05:44 PM

Re: My projects
 
For some reason your car makes me want to just start all over. So many little things I like about your setup. I love where you relocated your coolant res. Got any more pics of that?

Re: My projects
 
Is that a purpley cherry intake manifold?

I'll trade you nice tan leather interior for your black leather.

kittay 01-26-2008 01:43 AM

Re: My projects
 
Yes and no :P

But the IM and VC match the car :D

And it was hard finding black leather!! I have 2 sets of tan :( Ick

Re: My projects

WOOOOHOOOO.. tomorrow the car is going in the garage!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: My projects
 
Figured I'd bump this thread... I'm getting pretty excited/ nervous. The track opens 30 March for the first test n tune.
Hopefully my this car will be running in time. That is my goal. I have everything I need for it to start and run. Unfortunetly, I'm quitting my job in 2 weeks and don't have enough money for some 272s. So maybe bday money will go to that.
Also, one of the track tires got a large bubble and popped, so a new RA1 is like 200$ as well.
Financial issues are ftl!
So far it's been snowing so bad that I haven't been able to get the car out of the snow and into my new garage :(. We tried towing it out today, but just tore up the lawn.

But I did get some Evo Springs that I'm going to cut slightly and run the 5zigens. So at least it won't be monster trucking :p

I'd get cams before I got a SMIM.

x2. A guy locally has some comps for under 300$. So I've been waiting til I can afford it. Quitting work to go back to school is scary!

I figure the only things I really want to get for the black cherry before the season starts is some 272s, a new tire and larger injectors and I'll be happy.

For the silver car, a new bumper, paint it, and get the car tinted :)

Kevin 1G Drummer 02-04-2008 08:04 PM

Re: My projects
 
I got a SMIM before I got cams, and my top end is poop. After driving it for a while, I can feel the power just fall off above 5500 rpm

Yuh, that's what I was working on pulling before dinner :)
No way that's staying in the car. Already got ABS delete and ordering in some brake lines :)

kittay 03-08-2008 10:55 PM

Re: My projects
 
Got the AC, CC, ABS, intake and a few other things so far..
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g2...t/DSC07315.jpg

Started on the interior..

Also, picked up some cams and 1000cc injectors :)

sleepydsm 03-09-2008 03:45 PM

Re: My projects
 
Are you gonna order everything from mitsu for the ABS delete? Or are you gonna make your own lines? I heard they discontinued some of the lines you need, and the non-abs proportioning valve. I am looking to do the ABS delete as well!

kittay 03-09-2008 04:15 PM

Re: My projects
 
Got the stuff for ABS delete already :)
Good thing for parting out many cars!

I'm going to guess you know somebody that powdercoats or you do it yourself. I've got a couple multi colored wrenches too :lol:

Car has come a long ways though, keep up the good work!

Thanks :)
I was hoping to have the motor out today, but going to work on pulling the brake lines and 4 bolt out of another car for now.

Actually Harbor Freight had them for cheap! The wrenches and sockets are all corresponding colors!! Hopefully in the next year or so we'll have the powdercoating up and going :)

Have alot going on right now between all the cars!!
