LOL it DOES have a small ass engine compt.! I relocated my battery just so I could access the cooling system with the car running...
Bad turbos? Let me guess, Greddy kits? Have the owners done the "fixes" to keep the turbo from cooking itself?

No the 8 is N/A and I won't be doing any more mods to it since it is currently for sale

the V-mount is being done on my turbo FB that Brian is finishing up for me. The plan is for it to go to DGRR this year instead of my trusty single turbo FD (shes getting tired and will be rebuilt after I build a garage big enough to house everything)
The Fb will prob have more power than the FD and better street manners also.

Only a few weeks left ladies and gents!
Changed my brake pads this past weekend so I can be sure they are ready for DGRR - also decided I needed a bigger wing

We are just about ready to slay the Dragon now! Just need to do an oil change before we leave, make some custom CD's, get walkie-talkie radios and GAS UP!

djmtsu · 03-24-2012, 07:29 PM

Alright, shitty cell phone pic with the new wheels on. It is pretty much done with the exception of a good cleaning, and a re-seal of the right rear taillight.

djmtsu · 04-13-2012, 07:00 AM

How the hell did you blow both front shocks??

Hit one of those stupid speed humps at too high a speed maybe?

Sephitrask · 04-13-2012, 08:16 AM

Well only one is leaking right now, but with 100k miles on them i'm replacing the pair.

djmtsu · 04-13-2012, 11:47 AM

Are they stock?

I have a complete set of 50K struts with springs, top hats, everything assembled taking up space in my garage

They have s techs on them (that may be another factor besides their age that did it, lol) Plus I need them on tomorrow, since I am working sunday-wednesday, and am not about to drive to Deals gap with a blown shock, seems like a very bad idea. Thanks though, I appreciate it!

Proxy One · 04-13-2012, 12:26 PM

My To Do list is getting smaller.

Clutch Change to 6 puck Sprung. Release and Pilot Bearing -DONE
Fix a few minor oil leaks - DONE
Change Tranny Fluid over to NEO - DONE
Bleed Clutch with ATE Super Blue - DONE

Still Need to do:
Fix Radio issue with grounding (need tunes on the Gap)
Fix Cigarette Lighter Socket not working
Change intake filter on turbo (its in the mail)
Fix leaking power steering line on reservior, needs new clamp I think.
Change oil

N.RotaryTech · 04-13-2012, 03:07 PM

This weekend I will be doing: a radiator swap, fix exhaust leak, fabricate a heat-shield for the intake, tune, check brakes and everything else, wash the car cause it is dirty!

Procrastination.
