Thanks LSE!
 

Just saying a big thanks to all of you at LSE. I haven't stopped enjoying driving my car much since I left your shop on Wednesday! It is amazing to watch all the local ricers stare in awe as I drive by and let them hear a little BOV. Today I spent 5 hours giving GSXTC a long overdue detail. Thank you and be prepared to double your shop size again, because lots more business is coming your way!

A couple pics from tonight: Clean car, and 3 AWDs brave the cold to pick on the ricers.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

What all did you have done? and what was the temps outside?

He prety much dropped off his car needing a bit of "help". The only time its fun being a Mitsu "doctor" is when the project is done, and the owner remembers why they have the car in the first place.
Thanks for the kind words Matt, and thanks for the business.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Awesome to hear! I recognize that street in the last picture. ;) Can't wait till a certain red 2g gets to join you guys down there a few times this summer.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Woohoo! Black 2g powa! What all do you have done with that beauty?

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Holy shit Matt. It actually runs and moves on its own power now?

It is about damn time.


I dont think he remembers. 2002 was a long time ago;)

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

LSE replaced head gasket, ARP studs, waterpump, timing belt, fixed all the broken off bolts in the head, figured out why the frizmstat was contractualating the schizmoleter, etc. Everytime they get one of my cars its a challenge to figure out the little problems that sum up the problems stopping them from running properly.

As for remembering, I know quite well, because it all needs to be replaced with the LSE 9-sec setup. Currently:

GReddy BOV, Intercooler, Piping
Emissions EGR and FIAV Blockoffs
Tial Wastegate
Super 20g
ACT Clutch
Walbro 255lph
Thermal CAtback
Extreme Downpipe
Dejon Tool Intake (soon to be replace with Injen)
RC Engineering 550 cc injectors
Manual Boost Controller
APexi AVC-R (not hooked up)
HKS license plate frame (its funny i know)
oh HKS Turbo timer (knew there was something HKS)
RAcing harnesses, rims, springs, etc so on and so forth


Thanks again, I hope to get the 1g up there for some major work this summer.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Temps range from 15ish to 50 degrees, last two nights high 30 low 40s. It was slippery tonight and cold tonight, but warm up the car and it runs like a champ. The car is so different from high school because it runs so great, all of the original potential is finally being realized. Ask any of my friends, my attitude always depends on what I am driving, and right now I am flying (although always within strict accordance of the speed laws on the streets that my radar detector lights up).

The goal for the 1g is a reliable "beater (looking)" car, that can survive anything stupid I may want to do in it. Plans include: ARP's, the same headgasket, waterpump, timing belt job the 2g just got, possible 4 point cage, and any parts that come off the 2g.

Work hard, play harder!

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Yeah that would be awesome be glad to have ya!

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Nice to see it clean and running right!

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

hey matt now we gonna have to see what that thing can do against the cert.
hope your gonna be at rock falls the 9th im curious to see what that car can do being its been sitting for so long

Re: Thanks LSE!

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

looks like lse know whats, cant wait to start my rebuild!!

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Umm he said the 9th, as in the first date at the track, not a 9 second setup.
:D :rolleyes:

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

..no, i think i am correct in stating what he said..

-A. Swift

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Yeah he for sure did say 9 Sec setup.



Nice car btw.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Oh, you were talking about the post 2 weeks ago, not the one a few hours ago?

Yeah, if he had the cash, we could provide him with the power for a 9 second car. If he had more cash, we could build the car to support the power to run a 9.
That is the setup, $$$.

Re: Thanks LSE!
 

Correct! So far I have the downpayment for that setup saved up. Which is about 1/5 of the price. And that is NOT including, all new suspension, roll cage, New Harnesses (mine are not drag legal anymore), racing seat(s). My goal is to see what I can do at the track this summer with the setup I have (maybe a low 14 depending on my skill level, boost etc) and some autocrossing. I want to get the car first set to support said power, hoping to have that done next winter (cage, suspension, etc) and motor asap after that. $$$$$ Life is all about which priorities and in which order. ;-)
