Your winter plans!
 

Well, it is about time to do this again. What are your winter plans for your DSM this year?

I am going to do a full fuel system, fuel cell, big pump, SS lines, 1600cc injectors. All in prep for running E85 next year. I am also going to finish up my intake manifold and get my big ass FMIC on with 3" piping, custom end tanks and 3" TB. I am also going to get my chromoly cage in and my spearco seats, then put the interior back in.

I also want to make the car more streetable, so I am going to change to a larger slave cylinder, put in a clutch stop and get the 2 step working. I would like to do something with the suspension, but that probably won't happen this year. I also want to cut some more weight off if possible.

HIYO! I'm gonna turn my car INTO a dsm. Yeah, i was thinking about installing all that big turbo jazz and intake at the same time, but maybe I should just do the intake, since that would be easier, and i can get used to the different driving/running behaviour of a big huge manifold.

I wonder if I can get 300 hp with the stock turbo.... :D

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Full Slicks, direct port nitrous, figure out syncro issue, pull another 200lbs out of it, custom head studs, o-ring block, copper head gaskets.

Mid season hopefully twin 61mm turbo's and a parachute.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

I'm just going to focus on fixing up things that are already wrong with mine when I got it.


-Handbrake and cables
-Correct sized tires
-Rear defroster
-Rear wiper
-Get Intrax Springs installed to replace cut ones
-Install A'pexi S-AFC

That's about all I have planned this winter.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Put on my winter tires and get the meth injection set up.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Oh yeah, I need some new tires out back. showing off costs money.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Between school and work I'm putting in my 680s, walbro 255, finish up the fmic, dsmlink. I'm all about a "clean" dsm so I'm going to redo my swede headliner and keep the two tone tan/black look. I'm also planning on doing a custom trunk with 2 12s in the back.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Mostly driving the car :) It will be getting hks 280's, arp's, walbro 255hp (still on the stocker :P ). My big project will probably be alky injection, I'm working on building a nice kit for the evo. Oh yea, and injectors if I max out the stockers.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

I want to find a nice quest shell over the winter and also a block to start a basic motor build for it. I think I am pretty set on which block that will be to.

I also think there will be a few goodies to go on the 6. How long they stay on is up to the woman! LOL

Other than that, nothing big. Everything is relevent to how broke we are after the wedding!

Re: Your winter plans!
 

A few minor appearance things for the S exterior, VAFC2 install/tune, and maybe a few go-fast goodies depending on whether or not I get a IX.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Cant do much over winter because the car is in storage far away... but Im thinking about whats next, every day!

I have a list of things to do after I pull it out of storage. Most has to do with appearance because I got backed into right before I stored it, and need to fix that. Going to fix the lifter tick and a few other little things...

Then debate whether to keep it or sell it.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

I see two pink Evo's in that last two posters parking spaces soon.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

drive the talon all winter this year with the 18in sence the 17 have summer tires also.

finnish up the evo swap in the next few weeks and drive that around

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Pink with an azn in the passenger seat!

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Um, un egg-roll my car even further.
Get windows, diagnostic port, and heat/hvac controls working.
Put carpet in it, Tranny, maybe seats (depends on $$$), coat the underbody with rust protector shit.
Install 880s once diagnostic port is good.
Rims & tires.
Oil pressure gauge in stock cluster.
Maybe get rid of cat-back.

Red shell gets parted out or John gets it.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

I have a few things is mind...
Built 6bolt 2.4L(eagle rods, wieseco pistons, cometic HG, arp mains, arp head studs, main girdle...)
Magnus intake manifold
Greddy cam gears
HKS cam gears(280s or 272s)
AEM wideband
Coil on Plugs
Pretty SS lines for turbo
Pretty exhaust heatshield
Tbolt clamps for intercooler
Some kind of nicer fuel rail
Tein Flex coilovers W/ EDFC
Nasty underhood fuse box moved to inside car
Clean up engine bad and make it look hella nice!
Possibly...
Water/meth injection
Roll cage
Aluminum radiator

We will see what I actually get done but that the plan.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

FMIC and fuel for the Colt. I want to keep the 11b til spring. This POS will be the fastest pile of used mitsu parts to never run 14's.

Re: Your winter plans!
 

Top secret yo.
Its gonna be somewhere around the range of getting a honda/1g beater to drive to work and back.
Make my current dsm full drag. maybe AWD conversion, Maybe a baby eater turbo, Maybe some more cool stuff. :)

Re: Your winter plans!
 

My only plans are New Tranny, and E85 (as you can tell by my sudden interest in cheap 1600cc injectors) , and possibly a junk yard project if i get this new car!

Re: Your winter plans!
 

oh it's on!
