keep us updated on the progress, are you going to bring it to the minisprints?
I hope to get it to the minisprints. I should have the major bugs ironed out by summertime. Right now money is the only thing holding me back, being in school for six weeks and not getting paid is putting a strain on my resources...

Main things need doing are:

New Exhaust system and ex. leak at turbo/02 elbow
New springs and shocks
New clutch
New tires

Once I've got that taken care of, It'll be good to go :D

Paradox 01-08-2003 10:27 PM

hopefully it wont be... id be asking above your price range nehow

Accord Goblin 01-08-2003 10:30 PM

Ya, plus yours is that funny automatic thingy:o :D No, I'm sure auto in your car must be nuts. Pure power and no time to pause between gears and think Holy SHIT!! It's just straight to crapping your pants.

Paradox 01-08-2003 10:32 PM

yeah. well 4 grand into building up a auto tranny tends to do that

i got bent sideways going into 3rd gear today, 100kph or so :D

believe what you will, but on the track... auto wins hands down!

point and shoot man, point and shoot...

Enraged 01-09-2003 03:21 PM

OH MY GOD... I WENT TO BRENTWOOD POWERTRAIN, AND THEY TORCHED OFF THE RUSTED NUTS HOLDING MY EXHAUST TOGETHER. THE EXHAUST IS STILL ON THE CAR, BUT ITS GOT A HUGE LEAK.... ITS REALLY FRICKIN LOUD!!!! I THINK IM GOIN DEAF. OH WELL, IT ALL COMES OFF TOMORROW FOR THE 3" DP-BACK EXHAUST!

Paradox 01-09-2003 03:31 PM

haha, shoulda just cut it off DP back

Enraged 01-09-2003 03:35 PM

i need the flange on the DP, and i want to keep the cat for emergencies (VI, etc).

Squiddy 01-09-2003 04:22 PM

Toby you should have got me to cut them off for you or gotten me to get the torch from work and we could have done it :)

Paradox 01-09-2003 05:18 PM

i think i might yank off my catback for a day or something. well i still have a license

i always wondered how loud it was :D

NashMan 01-09-2003 05:42 PM

i thought you had a test pipe in there instead of a cat

Enraged 01-09-2003 06:54 PM

no, im gettin the test pipe with the DP i think.

exhaust: check
DP: late march (different manufacturer, better product)
MBC: whenever i find one i like
H&Rs: i got a crappy paycheck, so maybe next payday
50-75 shot of nitrous: early summer perhaps

NashMan 01-09-2003 11:32 PM

oh i was talking about muray that he had one


as for mbc the to best that are ok in price are the one i got turbonetixcs or turbo xs

oh are you goint to do what i did and cut apart the cat and use the flanges so you will just have dp back

Paradox 01-10-2003 01:17 AM

you mean this funky little thing??? :D

NashMan 01-10-2003 06:08 AM

yae

Enraged 01-10-2003 04:43 PM

well, ripped the exhaust off my car today, cut off the flange from the cat, and tried to weld it onto the main straight pipe.... i say "tried" becuase i cant get the damn thing dialed in. my beads (weld) arent penetrating very well, and they are as ugly as ryan after a 4 day beer binge. :)

but i have it until 5 pm tomorrow, so if worse comes to worse, ill just tack weld (weld one small spot) to hold all of the peices together, and then get someone else to do the final welding for me. im takin digital pics, ill probably write up a small guide on how to build a dp/cat-back exhaust.

Enraged 01-10-2003 04:46 PM

oh ya, no exhaust, the car is fuckin LOUD! i almost went deaf when i had to take a video back... but on the way home i stopped at a little out of the way spot... holy shit! boost comes on alot faster, i think it went up about 0.5-1 psi maybe (still have stock dp with the brick known as a precat). without powershifting, had no trouble lighting them up in 2nd... this is insane, i cant wait to get my new dp! and then who knows what ;)

Paradox 01-10-2003 05:17 PM

sweeeeeet.... i so have to do that

im thinking i will pretty soon, just for a day or two... how long does it take to remove the catback?

NashMan 01-10-2003 10:12 PM

as you got ot do is remove your test pipe 4 bolts and it is off and i might be doing some exhuast work when my car is done as well
