Patterson Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Where do I begin? The last quickie project went pretty well. A lot of cleaning, painting, and powder coating. Given the small outlay in cash, parts pile digging, bartering, and trading I'd call it a success. So here we go again. I have no real explanation for why I ended up in this position but I traded a perfectly good car for a non-running DSM. That's the best way to explain it. No convincing me not to do it, I wanted it and that was it. I'm gonna name it Grimace. It's bulbous, purple, and bound to be a little dumb. What it came with: Lowish mileage 7 bolt, EVO III 16G, FMIC, ACT clutch, Greddy Timer, XS boost controller, big Injectors, a box of random parts to be installed, EVO IX wheels, and FWD. Largely stock, Give the state of the car I'm hoping to have it back together relatively quick to see if it'll run. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/%5Bimg%5Dhttp://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture190.jpghttp://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture190.jpg Needs some love for sure. Or a whole lot of Powder Coating..

Nope http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture209.jpg Carbon Fiber Hood. Will a body guy be able to fix something like this? http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture213.jpg After finally getting it on the tow dolly, but not before destroying the front bumper.. Chris (Major Payne) went along with me and as always is a huge help. Even though he doesn't like the BBQ Rib Sammich from Rump Rangers Fuel Mart.. I call it heaven on a bun. I always promise an adventure when you go on a road trip with the Patter$on. This round did not disappoint. http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture153.jpg Here are the left overs/stuff needing to be installed http://i523.photobucket.com/albums/w351/Pats16Valve/Picture214.jpg And as before, during the last journey to get a car there were wild animals along the road. Seriously, who's gonna let their goat wander along I-70? Oh yeah people from Springfield. The initial work list will go like this: Get a new D/S axle Install the down pipe New Fluids Figure out the CAS ordeal (easy fix) Get an ECU Fix the FMIC mounting issue. Correct the Nose Bleed Stance Tune it Break it Rebuild it Break it Paint it Break it Part it out For what I want to do with this, I like to PO's idea of the cut out with the stock exhaust. Nice'n quiet. But I'm sure I'll end up with something a little larger. Figure out how to keep it quiet and leave the cut out in place. Maybe run a larger DP and leave the rest. I dunno. I still have plenty of VW's in house, and I have AAA. So being stranded won't be too much of a worry. I'd like for this to end up being a very clean car when I'm done. Paint will be very high on the list. But for now I'll just get it running under its own power. I will say pushing a GST around is a lot easier than pushing a GSX around.. Flame away gents. I hope Dennis will be as happy with WTF as I was. It was an awesome car but I was not planning on keeping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Grimace Cool car, I have a secret love for turbo DSM's. I've been trying to get on one for a while, and I couldn't pass it up. How's the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Actually I traded the wheels for a different set I've had 5 sets of rims on the car in less than 2 years. Yeah, I'm a little ridiculous. I'll probably have you powdercoat another set for me this summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidBaustert Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 This car had a rodknock and IIRC he did a bearing slap and put it back together. Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, different motor. I got some of the parts from that one in the spare parts box too. This one is out of a 95, hence the CAS issue. Thnks for the heads up though. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ansonivan Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Jesus-tittyfucking-Christ. Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber, you go and do something like this… and totally redeem yourself! Hot pink powder coating on everything? Yes? http://images.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/dumb-and-dumber-dumb-and-dumber-485970_400_300.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold the turbo, O2 housing, fuel pump, MAF sensor. I guess there are others that felt what was on there was not going to cut it for me. This s going to get real ugly real quick.
