No! Anyone know of some 278 or 285 35-18 and some 255-35-18s. Looking for some alright used ones to put on the new rims for now until the car is completely done.

It runs but will be torn down and I am not cutting corners so the build WILL be done right!

You said your dsm was going to be a stock rebuild too.

You might not think its a problem, I bet your old lady might, lol.

95talonracer · 08-12-2010

Fix it up, and sell it. Make some cash.

95talonracer · 08-12-2010

Not selling it. I dont care to make any $ on this one as it is already getting fun to build and I have not even done much to it yet. Got some sore goodies. Im done buying for a while and I am going to tear apart and clean.

**Halon** · 09-13-2010

Do you have the pic of the supra that you texted to Aaron and me, with those rims on it?

95talonracer · 09-13-2010

Ill look for it.

95talonracer · 09-25-2010

Well a buddy and I started taking the power plant out of this thing and I tell you this is a bunch of crap literally. This is quite different then the DSM's I am used to. Im going to put all of the useless garbage in a 55 gallon garbage can and see how much shit was not needed and the weight savings of it all too. We worked on it for at least 5-6 hours and I would say have it half to 3/4 out.

I also ordered custom made pistons from CP which are 9.5:1 compression

too bad it will take a month to get them. The engine is going to WWW.MAPERFORMANCE.COM to be torn down, machined, bored over, looked at, this and that, and re-assembled.

The next steps are to actually get the engine out, bring it to MAP, tear all of the stuff off and out of the car for a full paint job, order cams, valves, springs and retainers, gaskets, turbo, manifold, tuning software of choice, piping for a custom 3" intercooler and 3.5" exhaust setup, tires... ok Im stopping right there because I can already see this thing costing me but it will be worth it. Photos of progress to follow.

SHiet.

Sorry I couldn't make it last night, sounds like you made some good progress and that this thing will be rolling first day of spring.

HA! Ya right maybe this time next year. Are you going to pay for the built auto, stall, new billet turbo, fuel system......

turbotalon1g · 09-25-2010

I forgot about those items. :O(

**Halon** · 09-25-2010

Yeah what a pita. I hope once it's out, things will make more sense. That wiring harness, driveshaft, intake plenum, can all go to hell.

Yea you laughed at me for not getting the intake off after forever it seemed and how many hours later did I hear that you still had not gotten the drive shaft off? Did you ever get it off?

**Halon** · 09-25-2010

Nope. Gotta get the rear end up in the air so we can spin the shaft just a hair. Couldn't reach that very last bolt holding it to the rear end.

**goodhart** · 09-25-2010

Need moar pics foolio

**Halon** · 09-25-2010

We did try to get a couple pics of the last "hoorah"...

95talonracer · 09-26-2010

Well the motor and trans are out! Thanks a million to Brandon for busting ass and a few knuckles on helping me get this hog out of there. Now the fun begins. Here are a few photos.

**goodhart** · 09-26-2010

What a effin mess!!!! You're planning on tucking this thing aren't you?
