Im a dsmer again!
 

Well Tonight i purchased Greasemonkeys non running dsm. Needs a bit of work but im sure i can turn this into the cleanest 1g in the United Arab Emerates.
Thanks Stephan for the great deal, i look forward to making her hum again.
Never thought i would see the day when i would be back with another DSM, let alone a 1g. But im excited for what lies ahead.
Couple things on the to do list:
- Fix the rod cap issue and replace the rod bearings.
- Clean up interior, put back in the rear seat, replace carpet with brand new stuff.
- Replace Windshield
- Fix the fenders.
- Repaint dark gunmetal
- Injectors and Link
- clean up engine bay more.
Eh theres lots more to do, but i love doing it.
Tom

congrats on the new car!

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Congrats, I suppose ;) And good luck with it. Make sure to put up a Wanted thread for whatever you need because there's a wealth of crap laying around everyones garages on here!

Rod cap issue, wtf? Sounds like motor-pulling time dude.

Better make this into a project thread quicklike!

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

We will see on saturday what we are looking at for damage. Ive been two years without a dsm so im ready to get my fingers dirty with the permadirt.
Im hoping that the bearings saved the crank from any damage. but wont know anything until i pull the pan. Regardless its nice to have a truck in case i need to make a trip to MAP 4 or 5 times....

Congrats! Welcome to the wonderful world of 1g's. Sure they won't get you laid, but everyone knows they're faster. ;)

Get some pics up!

Im going to get married, i wasnt counting on getting laid.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Ah that was smart. 2g's are the real lady killers. (Internet doesn't relay sarcasm very well).

Re: Im a dsmer again!

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Welcome back to the endless money pit.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Looked nice when I saw it 2 weeks ago. Congrats!

Re: Im a dsmer again!

Re: Im a dsmer again!

If you need parts for it let me know I have a ton of crap in my garage

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Here are the pics from when he was selling it. geez. Or you could just go into the for sale thread.
Its not at my house yet. i am going to trailer it on friday.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Is it white or silver? Kinda hard to tell in the pics.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Looks silver to me.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Why am I having dejavu?

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Congrats, should be fun to tinker with a dsm after not having one for so long.

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

Tom, don't forget to make sure you set it to 5* BTDC :D
:D :D :D

Re: Im a dsmer again!
 

HA HA HA. Yeah i have made mistakes in the past that have ended up bending many of valves... at least i learned some valuable lessons.
Here are a couple:
- Torque the tensioner pulley to the correct amount. its not supposed to be floating around.
- 5* BTDC is not to be done physically with the belt, its to be done on the ignition with a timing gun.
- Dont leave the socket wrench on the crank pulley and try to start the car.
- Both Dowel pins on the camshafts should be pointed UP. (On 2g cam gears the exhaust cam gear has two white marks. :( )
im sure there are many more lessons i have learned along the way breaking shit, so i figure i have made every mistake their can be with a dsm so this build should go perfect. :)
