Sounds like you plan on running a lot quicker than last year as well!

I was just waiting for the shift box before going to get tuned on e85. I have everything else I SHOULD need to go e85.

No suspension mods as of yet. The coil overs I had for the black car didn't seem to make much of a difference that I noticed, but I'm sure it'll help with getting consistent launches with the auto. Also waiting for the rules from MAP before buying any tire/wheel combo.

Really? damn, that's good to know.
Yes, we will have to see what they say.

You are going to cut the trunk on this one too?

You like driving tin can's? lol.

I saw the pic with the spoon and thought it was gonna be a how-to on crack smoking!

C3L1CA · 12-30-2011

haha I'm not that cool. Wonder what a spoon was doing in the trunk of a dsm though...

Holy crap, I hate dyno mat stuff! Also after getting under neath and really looking at the bottom of this car, I realized this car has too much rust for my liking

I'll keep messing with it but won't really do much to the car that couldn't be transferred to another rust free shell.

Tin cans are fun!

I want another DSM! Maybe I'll get a 2G just because you can put Brembos on. But then again... Who wants those heavy big brakes of wheels to clear them!? Two parachutes duh.

C3L1CA · 12-30-2011

Get a 2g! just don't forget to get a racing suit with those two parachutes

Tin cans aren't bad if they aren't your daily and is strictly a fun street/track car.

The nitrous kit I hope?

C3L1CA · 12-31-2011

Nitrous is scary and doesn't make real hp

Full stock appearing interior ftw

95tsi · 12-31-2011

Car looks good! Reminds me a bit of my car. Stock interior ftw!!! Keeps everyone guessing!

turbotalon1g · 12-31-2011

You need moar pics!!!

I have to agree with the stock interior, its cool.

Some of you know. So I thought Id let everyone know. I picked this up from Brad last week and already put over a 1000 miles on it! No issues whatsover. I had one check engine light since I've owned it (random misfire). I will add, if your thinking about an auto their not really fun to drive. Also gas mileage not as great as the 5 speed. Anyways I bought this a a temp. fix and DD duties so the car won't be getting crazy modded but heres a few things I've done and what I plan on doing.

Also to the previous owner before Brad did you put lowering springs in? Rides pretty stiff
not a big deal just wondering though
