Re: Beater 2g
No crazy new updates, but a few things. Got a cover for my Kirkey, I definitely can't get any wider because its a perfect fit with the cover.
ALso a long time ago I started redoing the interior wiring of the car to take out the wires from the washer fluid pump, hatch wiper, door ajar sensors, and other random little things. Went through last night and tapped up the whole interior harness, I think it looks better than it did stock.
Also decided that I'm going to cut off my spare tire wel, and replace it with just some flat steel. Once that is all done I'll paint the hatch and the rest of the interior so it looks so fresh and so clean clean. It looks like poo right now because I had a lot of motivation to get it all cleaned up before the Mitsu cook out last year and ran out of motivation, hence why half of it is sanded and the rest isn't 
Also picked up a spare 6 bolt, so as I slowly save up my pennies I'll be buying parts for a 6 botl 2g head combo. That way maybe I can be fast one day. I'll try and get better pictures as I keep working on it.

Re: Beater 2g
OH fer shiz. Yea I'll make enough bracing to try and still save a tiny bit of weight but yet keep the bottle and battery securly mounted.
Also got a new cut off switch for x-mas, so I don't have to hope tech doesn't question the battery box. haha

Re: Beater 2g
I can offically say things went even too far for me . Having more time than money to spend, I do stupid things...
Nice simple setup
To something a little too far for me?
The piece weighed 10lbs, and that was after cutting out the mount for the jack and what not I already cut out. I was hoping for a little more, but oh well. Live and learn.
Passenger should like the new nitrous location too.
Also drove it the other day to run to the store, I do miss it and can't wait for it to be nice out.

Re: Beater 2g
Looks like a street car to me. Time to get her back on the track and run some low 11s 
What I consider streetable someone else may not. It doesn't hurt that I grew up driving my Chevelle that had no power steering, 4 wheel manual drum brakes, and no sway bars. |

Haha you mean low 12s, thats what I ran last time I went to the track. Looking at my crappy time slips, I did pick up a solid 39mph on the back half on my crappy 12.2 trapping 130. Probably does mean as much since it was a crappy run, but I only picked up 35mph on my 140 trap.
I agree, streetable is all in the eye's of the beholder. I heard sway bars are for pany's anyways

I'll be picking up a piece of aluminum this week on my luch or after work and putting it in its place. It'll also make it so I don't swear as much when I put in rear diff bushings some day.

Re: Beater 2g
He knows I'm just playing, well I'm rocking dirty cloth with one side bolster with nothing.
To me right now since my dsm is my only car I want it to have everything, but since I found out it weighs 2900 I have been feeling guilty about putting weight in it, since that has probably been the key about its freakness.
Either way, I'm ready to see this "quick for a 2g" thing in action.

Yea the car looks a little torn apart right now, but the plan is when it is all put back together you wont be able to tell what is missing and what isn't. All interior pannels will be back in, carpet, rear seats, hatch cover, duffle bag over nitrous bottle. Should look stockish when all said and done.

Re: Beater 2g
You should just paint the bottle grey and put a little radioactive sticker on the bottle, and get custom plates that say Enola Gay.

Re: Beater 2g

Pretty sick huh?
Just have to rivet it in and finish painting some things and she should be good to go get the crap beat out of it on the first track day.
