Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

7/17/14:
Had the day off and also made a deal a while back with one of the family of Tint Pros to get a discount on tint, so I figured why not now since I had the day off.
In retrospect, booking an appt with a car the day after a track day even though you haven't raced it in 2 years or really driven it that much in 2 years wasn't that smart.
Anywho before:








Damn fish bowl, I don't know how people do it.

After:






Back at home, just a couple of more days then I can put the windows down!

[Fejery4491]

Looks really nice!

[blackrosenova400]

What transmission temps are you seeing? Im on the stock converter and I have had a cooler/fan install just like you have for a while and I still have some temp problems.

[turbotalon1g]

I got to 200 maybe at the end of a pass, but with the fan I'd be down to under 180 before starting the next pull.
Maybe toward the end of the week, I'll get to work on this thing again, but no need when the heat index is 100*F+, so for now she sits outside letting the window tint cure.

[cmspaz]

Looking good, man! So good to see you finally enjoying this thing.

[Goat Blower]

Looks good! Window tint was one of the best mods I've done, especially the sunroof.

Man, those times are great. I bet I have 300 passes all between 118-120 mph with my old 20g, but times between 12.0 and 12.7, except for that one 11.9. Auto really is the way to go these days, I wish the technology would've been there when I had mine.

[Halon]

what percent tint? I need to get the Fusion and Bean done eventually. Probably just going to do the legal 50% on the Fusion, and teh bean same either 50% or maybe drop down to like 35%.

[turbotalon1g]

I usually get 35%, but they had 30% so i went with that. Usually when I get 35% i wished it was darker, but then 20% was the next step.

On the pics they had I liked 30% for what I liked and for not being too dark to get hassled.

[polishmafia]

Tint Pros FTW! Looks great!

[DSMINMN]

Damn I love tint but boy do the Highway bulls love me. lol I was pulled over twice in a week once all for my tint! The second time he used "exhibition driving" as the excuse to pull me over. Warnings for days. Mine was at around 40% too.

Anyway, car looks tits. As usual. You really can't beat a panda 1ga.

[Goat Blower]

I went with legal all around, wish I would've gone just a bit darker, but still a huge improvement in a non A/C car.

[turbotalon1g]

Haven't done much to it, drove it around a bit, put some gas in it.

I've been collecting some cores to build a motor, I have a 2G head that is supposed to be a virgin head. I picked that up from Miles on here.

I also picked up a running shortblock that I'm going to be using as a core that I got from Polarisamsoil on here.

I have a set of Kelford 272s that should be here on monday, I picked up a set of low miles (approx. 9800 miles) Evo 8 springs and retainers.
I have a set of evo rockers and keepers on the way.

Once all the head stuff gets here, I'll get them installed and pray I didn't fuck myself over for getting on the stall.

[Dark2g]

Good choice on the kelfords. I really liked my 272s on my last setup and the 280 are just as awesome. Hopefully they get u 10's

[dsmreck]

Haha so I assume you found out the evo stuff will support the k272? Ur such a whore with your car now. You me and dre could have some serious fun for sure.

[turbotalon1g]

Lol, now I just need to sell all these extra parts and get some money so I can get these installed and go race.

[evotuner]

Hell yeah dude, glad to see the car made some nice passes! Hope to see it at PG.2

[turbotalon1g]

Lame sauce update.

I drove the car a few times since PG and launched it a bunch on the street, I think in the process I broke an axle. (Thats my theory anyway)

I've been way too busy to look at the car, but to provide an example it has taken me a month to pull both rear axles,, reinstall them and refill fluid.

PG looks iffy.

Before I discovered my driveline issue I did pick up some Kelford 272s, evo 9 springs, retainers, keepers, rockers arms to be installed.

Priority list:
Driveline issue
Shift box
Cam install.

If I can't stall with the kelfords, I will sell them and put in a set of 5 spd cams I have.

[dsmreck]

I don't give a fuk just get it done

[Goat Blower]

4-bolt time.

[turbotalon1g]

Um it is a 4 bolt.
Again today I didn't touch it.

I f anyone is available I could use a hand/motivation tomorrow night.
