No I wouldn't daily drive or autocross the car with these brakes. The price alone was pretty high but keeping the car streetable and full interior I have to get weight any were I can to compete with guys who's cars are 2200lbs

CF dash?

One hell of a project.

If thats an offer to build me one then the answer is YES!

Would be an interesting project.

I can get my hands on enough fiberglass for cheap to possible take a stab at it, just need a dash, create a mold, figure out how to save weight by properly placing supports and the like...maybe slant the center portion towards the driver like a Supra for more gauge space, turn the passenger portion into something useful too...

Of course, I would only be doing this until my car is "complete". After this winter, I should just have the paint and body to finish up (which will be going to a professional shop), with a mild turbo upgrade the following winter. Other than that, we can talk in a year...if you can wait that long

Easy Andrew... Lets not get carried away

Until I have some rugrats running around me, I need something to occupy my time

I have extra

I'm sure I'll have more than I can handle when the wife is done school.

Some brakets I made for rear suspension points


The start of the Chrome Moly subframe to hold the GT IRS Diff!

What are you doing for rear suspension? Ladder bars? 4-link?

Hell no! As far as I'm concerned your not a true DSM once you go straight axle or no IRS Stock rear suspension but I'm going to make my own lower arms etc.

Good, good. That's what I like to hear. Are you doing anything out of the ordinary with the lower arms, or just the 'standard' custom ones that I've seen here and there on Tuners/Link Forums/etc.?

Btw, when you say 'stock' rear suspension, I assume you mean stock style and that you'll be running some sort of aftermarket spring/coilover? Or, are you actually running stock springs and shocks?

my best guess is a coil over for the adjustability

great work Ron! can't wait to see a vid of your 1st qtr mile pass

Yeah when I'm done you could bolt either the stock arms or my arms up and I'll be running the same JIC coil overs that have been on the car! My subframe will be alot stiffer and also hold the larger and unforunately heavier GT diff. But still keeping it all mitsu baby!

New Dry Sump cover thanks to Tony and Bob Niemczk :thumb:

So got a package in the mail from Justin over at Comp Turbo and I thought my last 74mm triple ball bearing turbo was amazing, made 1000hp at 35Psi and spooled up easily on my 2.3L. Well this new turbo puts that turbo back 10 years this thing is a piece of art! Billet wheel!, Billet center section with triple ball bearings, V - bands on all connections, tap turbo drain hole! Thanks again Justin you truely out did yourself again can't wait to see what kind of power this thing is going to make Been running Comp Turbos since they were ITS with 100% satisfaction and zero failures and amazing performace!!!!

I agree with Johnny, that thing is beautiful. Especially because I have never seen a brand new turbo in person.

Seen lots of turbos before but none like this one I was blown away

I have never seen one that said Race Series on it. They do make such beautiful turbos att to detail shows

Here is a little teaser pic of the first test fit :hellyeah::hellyeah:

Wow does the picture by itself not do it justice for the size it is...can't wait to see you put down on the track!

It looks bigger than the motor itself Don't hurt 4g63!!!

Haba haba!!!

Ok you 'berta boy. You have to make a small effort and bring your ars over the SO next year. We'll all be root'n for ya!!!

Ghislain

^^ True that. Time for the quick 16 class win to come to Canada!!!

Has been done before; just has to happend again.

You our hope Ronnie!!!

Ghislain

Sorry FP, you ain't got nothing on this turbo.

that thing is gona suck in a baby if you're not careful

Thats the plan this year to make it to the SO

Nothing like pressure hey! Thats the goal to compete with the straight up race cars, but beable to cruise around on the street

It looks like someone installed a fan inside of a tuba. Crazy

I might steal this quote Mike!

That is one hell of a goal. Look forward to seeing it happen

Thanks Ziggy! Either way driving on the street I'll still be having more fun with the car then a straight up drag car

It is hard enough for most of the community to even get their cars on the road, not to mention running single digits and still cruzin the streets.

Already been single digits and 160Mph just want 8's Oh and have all the interior, and power widnows and head lights etc! Not a daily driver but a driver non the less.

Some new lower control arms I fab'd up the other day



My tig welding starting to get better

You weld like a pro Ron

Only on a bench though out of position is a total diff animal luckily I have a Friend fellow DSM'er that can weld anything Thanks Kris
