^^ Maybe the guys that did your window art arranged that desktop also

Yeh they shouldn't have a problem letting you see it. If one person gives you a hard time, just ask another one. BTW Hope she gets better soon

That vent is sick. Sounds like a plan, I told Bill we weren't doing the valve gover gasket until he gets head studs and a new valve cover anyways. I think we are just gonna do a compression test and a few other small things, shouldn't take too long.

LOL wow I don't even know where to start..... The car does 0-60 in Electric motor racecar times He talks specifically about gas, but has E85 stickers on the car And he won't tell how his secret works...... *cough* bullshit

Nice pics buddy. We need to actually have the cars clean at the same time for once and get some shots by the lake or something.

People always wait till the last minute to sign up for stuff like this. I think it will fill up.

I want to be in Norwalk between 8 and 9

Maybe I read it wrong. I could have swore I read that Exxon mobile is paying 2x as much income tax as it was 3 years ago. That is a number that should be figured on NET profit.

If you just want to go up on Sunday we can meet up. We need to make a post in the events section to get it all together. No hotel room, as I will only be there on Sunday. I have to help with a car show saturday then go to a wedding sat evening btw, tell them married with kids is no excuse. I am married and have 3 kids. My oldest boy who is 4 LOVES going racing. He just told my wife the other day he wants a big turbo for his birthday, lol

I agree 100% that it is an open market and they do not create the price themselves. They have however continually produced record breaking profits. Thier profits HAVE increased.

BTW from what I understand its going to take a high 9 to win even the Evo STOCK APPEARING class this year

Speaking of the shootout.... its about time to make a post about that, to get people to start making plans. I will be there Sunday (track day)for sure Aug. 17th this year

DSMs get a bad rap because of some of the people that own them. If they weren't so cheap and easy to find, less idiots that don't know what they are doing would buy them.

the 800 hp cars are running a lot more than 20psi Yes we will use different head studs

Don't forget that .2 better 60 foot should get you .4 better at the end of the track. We will probably be running a little over 20 pounds of boost

The car will not weigh 3200 when its done. I said it will LOOK like a street car. I don't get caught up in HP figures. It all depends on the dyno. As far as too much HP for stock stuff: I know of 800hp 4g63s running stock head gaskets and 500hp 4g63s running bone stock bottom ends. When people kill these motors it is usually due to a bad tune, snapped timing belt, or improper maintenance.

Then we need a new manifold, external wastegate, custom lines,..... An 18g or a 20g is dirt cheap and will easily get the car where we want it.

We already have most of the stuff and only have $1800 in it so far, including the car. Your estimates are more realistic. We are doing the super ultra mega tight ass build, and only buying the stuff when we get a hell of a deal on it. Again I will state, the car is not pretty. Its not rusted up, but it needs a paint job. That will be the LAST thing we do.

Here is the fastest full bodied awd DSM in all the land:

I personally think the stock head gasket gets the job done. Its going to keep a bolt on style turbo. Probably an 18g, maybe a 20g. It has a big 16g on it now (the factory is a 14b). It has a manual boost controller, probably the simplest device on earth. Right now it is running a blow thru setup with a GM MAF, maf translator, and an apexi air fuel controller. I might ditch the maf setup and go back to a stock one if I have problems with tuning it. The cars weigh around 3200 from the factory I think. We will remove all the sound deadening and some other BS we don't need. It will look like a street car. I think he plans on retaining the A/C. Yes it will have a CD player. It has an upgraded clutch already, we still might need a better one. The factory clutch would not hold the power. Heres a good article on crank walk : http://www.car-forums.com/s15/t4460.html

There is so much info about these cars online it is ridiculous. You just have to sift through a lot of BS. You are more than welcome to come down anytime we are working on it.

We are starting with a 1990 Eclipse GSX. It's a turbo all wheel drive car. The engines in these car less likely to crank walk. The crank walk problem seems to plague the second gens (95-99). It's only got the 3 bold rear end though, we will probably upgrade it to the stronger 4 bolt. I think we will be able to do that for ~400.

Sounds Sick!! Congrats man.

I made this post here so we can continue the discussion from the Oven.... Like I said we are working on one now. The biggest problems is he doesn't have 5 grand sitting around, so we are getting stuff part by part. It might be the end of the season before it makes a pass. Slicks are not needed on the car. 1.6 60s can be had on street tires. The engine will be reliable. I am sure I could launch on the stock drivetrain all day long. This is his 1st all wheel drive car though. It's not out of the question that a driveline failure will put us over the 5 grand mark.

WTF???? A lawyer couldnt get you off that one?
