Brad's 5th DSM...

[C3L1CA]

I just got back from NY today from picking up a '99 black on black 2g. It made it back without any major hiccups which I think is pretty good for a dsm! It's nothing crazy and I just want it to be a halfway fun/reliable daily. Wanted another evo but didn't want a car payment. I told myself this was close enough





Current mods:
FP Red
HKS 272's
Crower Springs/retainers
Head was put back on with new mitsu headbolts/mls headgasket
Coil on Plug - probably swap this out to stock coil pack/wires as changing plugs will be 10 times easier.
FMIC with back door piping
HKS Super Sequential bov
FP Intake
Ricer Filter
Evo MAF
Larger TB - I'm guessing just a 1g but haven't looked into it to verify
External wastegate with external dump
Apexi down pipe
Thermal cat back
Aluminum radiator with dual slim fans
FIC 1000cc injectors currently tuned on pump gas
Poopra 300lph pump
Hallman Pro MBC
SPI Industry Boost Gauge - Want to replace with an AEM boost gauge and get an AEM wideband as well
Mystery rebuilt tranny but it shifts like butter
ACT 2600 with a street disc and act flywheel
Prothane mount on the tranny mount. The guy gave me the rest.
Tokico/eibach setup
Evo8 wheels with snow tires
HID setup
Ricer front lip


Apparently it made 409 on a dyno dynamics dyno @ 26psi out in NY.



Plans:
Take it to Shane to have him possibly tune it on e85 or just have him look at the pump gas tune.
Get it re-tinted as the current tint is scratched and looks like garbage.
Smoke the turn signals in the front bumper.
I'd like to paint the lower half of the dash black once its nice out. For some reason it bugs me that mitsubishi made it half black/gray
Dye the carpet black
I'd like to re-cover the headlinger in a black suede or something
Get an aem boost/wideband gauge. Don't know if I want another a-pillar setup or do like I had on my old 2g and mount them on the steering column.
Repaint the front bumper due to rock chips and take off the front lip thing. I'd also like to paint the center tail light section at the same time.
Pick up a non-cruise control box. He has it rigged up so it still has the box on the firewall but no cruise. Might as well cean up the bay some more if I don't get cruise.
New rims/tires in the summer once I find something I like
Misc clean up of the engine bay/other items.
Anything other little things my cheaaaaaaaap self can find deals on
And just try and enjoy it without selling it!

Some guy from WI is texting me right now wanting to look at my car, and said he was supposed to go to newyork and get this car lol, he sent me pics and everything

[rx_08]

Nice looking whip

[At-Least-It's-An-Evo]

damn, you made it home cross country in a modded dsm....... now that's amazing. Congrats brad, when's this gonna be for sale!?

Also, stock 7 bolt motor?

[turbotalon1g]

5 spd? I smell a sale coming on.

[Goat Blower]

I'd say it's better looking than an EVO, I love the black with dark EVO wheels and that front lip. Plus there's a lot of room in that RED, I think mine did 470 at Shane's on race gas, I can't remember for sure.

So, the circle is complete...

Yea he said some other guy in WI supposedly sent a check or somthing. He said first to give him cash in his hand got the car. Don't tell the wi kid where I live, he's probably pissed!

Yea it did suprisingly well. Just crossing my fingers it can get me to work everyday. Yep, stock 7 bolt in it.

Thanks! Yea I'm sure it could be pushed but I don't want to send a little 2g rod through the block just yet.

Looking good man! I miss my black 2Gb....always wanted black on black...interior shots please!

The dyno it was on out east might be the one that reads closer to a dynojet, 400+ on pump gas on that setup sounds a little crazy IMHO.

Yea I thought the number seemed kind of crazy too. I'm hoping to get it on the dyno sometime soon. I don't really want to push it too hard so if it can make similar power to my old evo, I'd be in love. The evo was fun to daily around 360/370 uncorrected @ db and that isn't much power at all but was pretty reliable and still fun to drive around and let it rip once in a while.

I'll try and snag an interior picture after work. Needs a good vaccum but its pretty clean. That reminds me, one other thing I would like to do is dye the carpet black as well and maybe re-do the headliner in black too.

Nice car!

[awd-drifter]

nice! lovin' the 2gb. how many miles are on it?

[GsXtUrBo98]

Very nice! I'm jealous

[Kracka]

Sexy, black-on-black '99 is hot!

[GsXtUrBo98]

Was there strut tower rust fixed on the drivers side? paint looks off from the other side.

[Sparky2211]

Looks awesome Brad!! I so wish mine was black!

Thanks! It was pretty damn hard to find a black-on-black but I'm glad I did.

Yea he said the paint was starting the bubble just a tiny bit in one spot so he had a body shop hit it with a wire wheel and put some rust preventative stuff on it. Kind of bugged me but the rest of the car was clean and no rust in the common other spots. Maybe I'll try and paint that too. List of want-to-do's just keeps getting longer and longer











Crappy note: Just went to the dmv and because the guyoriginally wrote a 2 then turned it into a 3for the month on the date of sale the dmv won't transfer the title to me until I get him to sign and explain why. So if there is anybody with good penmanship, I know a way you could earn a free beer...

I had the SAME issue with my Evo. It was a pain in the ass since the guy needed his plates back ASAP to give back to the state (NC). So basically we had to overnight paperwork for a couple days to get it all straitened out.

Regardless, I am jealous of your find. Keep us posted on updates!
