Question When will you start seriously working on your DSM again?

I'm getting ready to get excited and turn on the heat and music in the garage and start working to try to get the DSM's ready for spring.

Seems as though even with many set backs and dissapontments we all have for nice speed gains, hope always springs eternal each and every coming spring for a better year!

When do you guys plan on getting serious about working on your DSM again?

1. Anyday now, I promise

2. Been working on it all winter, never stopped, come on it's a DSM!

3. Sometime in April <This year>?

4. Sometime in May? <Next year>

5. Whenever I can sell enough plasma and beer cans to afford my next mod?

6. I got smart, I'm done working on DSM's and now have a life again!

Re: When will you start seriously working on your DSM again?

well, i just got my whole car done..stripping the shell completely, to building it back up to driving conditions as it is now..suspension, wheels, motor, turbo, etc etc etc. Now, i gotta make a wastegate dump pipe, install the cams, and tune the biotch! not a bad turnaround for about 60 hours invested over 2 weeks!

Re: When will you start seriously working on your DSM again?

Short term, I need to install a FP T-28, and get good tune using DSMLINK and the PLX-300.

Mid term, I'm saving up to get all my A/T PIG work done this year, IPT Stall, Valve body, shiftkit and End cluthes. Get some AWD Dyno time from LSE. They will do most of the tranny work as I'm still a relitive n00b.

Long term, 2" drop and new shock/springs, 75 ZEX shot.

I started working on it in January when I got a garage I could use.

I will start working on the SQ in a few weeks. As for the DSM, it's over, thank Allah.

Tomorrow, if all goes to plan, new front axles, lower ball joints. redline fluids. Brakes all corners. Tuesday, 2G 5 spoke rims w/ Toyo T1R tires. Then hopefully 3" turboback exhaust in the next few days.

Screw you guys, I'm driving mine!

Seriously though, I'm dropping it off at LSE on Friday for some new ball joints and wheel bearings. I figure if I'm going on vacation, I might as well get some work done while I'm gone!

Re: When will you start seriously working on your DSM again?

I haven't been out in damn near a month because I've been working on my car everynight. I was supposed to be done this weekend, but that backfired. But I still have a lot of side stuff to do, like powdercoat all my charge piping, allignment.

Re: When will you start seriously working on your DSM again?

No more DSM for me, but I'm sure I'll help Cory with his again once the snow melts.

As for my car, it'll continue getting modded once it comes out of storage in April.
