Laser's $100 Project Thread

[crazy_skier]

any more updates on the super spendy project.. i mean the s2k could have been boosted 10 fold for the price of this

[Kracka]

Scheides and I still need to do our scientific time testing post-MBC install, we'll try and do it after Applebee's tomorrow night! Other than that, I still have $12 in the fund so I should pick up some washers and bearings aka metal shifter bushings.

Why don't you buy a new cut-off wheel for your angle grinder (assuming you have one or have access to one) and lower your car.

[Kracka]

That would minimize my snowbank domination abilities

[FattyBoomBatty]

That gives way to another great idea, buy a sheet of thin steel and make the bottom really smooth for the better drag coefficient.

[Kracka]

I sold the boost controller for $25 putting me at $88-25 = $63 total for my project. The car doesn't feel much slower w/o the MBC so I may just leave it and enjoy the extra cushion of safety in the name of reliability.

[scheides]

no way, you allotted $100, you gotta get some $37 exhaust!!!

[Halon]

Just drop the whole exhaust and jb weld a Cherry Bomb to the downpipe!

[Kracka]

I went and spent the remainder of my fund today on a 3" cast aluminum intake pipe with a BOV recirculation tube and also a larger turbo outlet elbow. I will try and sell my other 3" intake so I can have a few more $$$ to play with before winter comes.

carbon fiber roof scoop? aw shit yeah. project done!

[Kracka]

Sold a stock part off for $20 shipped so I'll be adding another $15 to the fund!

[Halon]

So is that little mod list in your 1st post up to date as far as what you actually have so far?

[Kracka]

Updated list:

Southbend DXD clutch
OBX 30-0-30 boost gauge
Autometer A/F gauge
Carbon fiber dual gauge pod
K&N filter
Hacked 1G MAS with removed silencer
3" cast aluminum intake w/BOV recirc. tube
Larger diameter turbo outlet elbow

[Kracka]

I think I will buy another MBC since I sold my first one off for 2x what I paid for it.

[FattyBoomBatty]

take the 15 bucks, invest it in the stock market, get it out when you have like 200 bucks, lol.

[Kracka]

Another eBay MBC ordered for $10.94 shipped!

[FattyBoomBatty]

Nice. Can you get those $.99 short shifters like the honda kids can? They cost like 12 bucks total, after shipping.

[Shane@DBPerformance]

I have an old Supra SMIC you could try jamming in there, but the amount of JB weld needed to fix it might put you over budget.

[Halon]

I have JB Weld How did the DXD clutch fall in under the budget?

[Kracka]

The DXD clutch was on the car when I bought it, I think with about 7 miles on it
