So what are you fo0z looking to get done with the cars this year? 2GNT, DSM, EVO, Solstice, RX8, whatever. We're car guys. We have things planned, but what, specifically.

GO.

First autocross is in April.

List before:

Ishihara Johnson windage tray/baffle/crank scraper
RM Sways
New ball joints
Fidanza clutch with lightweight flywheel
MAYBE: DG Harness bar

Zing!

Nice list, Tim. Starting out with something simpler.

I wonder, are you planning to upgrade both front and rear sways? I'm thinking a beefier rear and stock front might counter understeer, if not make the car more susceptible to oversteer at the limit.

Your thoughts?

I, too, am hoping to get some seat time before April. Personally...

Engine/trans out of 195 in 10 days, off to Precision Chassis Works for final front end repairs, FMIC install by end of January, reassembly and registration in February. Hopefully, I'll have the car road-ready by Feb 15th, when there's a group of nutters from Dirty Impreza going out to an old, Vietnam-era airfield to do some rallyx practice.

Barring that, I'd like to have the car shaken down, buy a helmet, and get the car to SoCal for a rallyx some time in April. (And there's HAMMARS, too.)

Oh crap, let's see;

The NA; get some seat time on the newest set-up. Get the 65mm TB installed. Get the proper cams in there (gotta make 'em somewhere). Get her into the 12's.

The 420a Turbo; Get some full runs in with the current set-up. Switch the W/A pump over to the ignition switch, lol. Fix the tranny. Get into the 10's.

The GSX; fix up the rest of the gremlins. Get her tuned up. Get some tints on her. Run her at the track.

Two "Other" projects;

Build my 420a race tranny, Couple o' few ideas/modfications that I hope will work out. Had them in the head for awhile. Finally getting to them.

Amass parts for, and start assembly of, the ? to 1 engine. Don't know how high I can make it, but we'll see.

Besides washing it, absolutely nothing I just want her to keep running strong.

2gnt: '99 RS-T, killed by a toyota, pending rebuild...
Daily: Volt
Daily #2: '99 EVG ebike- STOLEN by PEDRO

I think the starting point would be to have Malachai running. After that I'd like to get him painted

Some say that he's driven over more Covenant than he's shot, and that his grenades aren't where you'd expect them to be...
All we know is, He's not The Stig... But he is The Stig's Spartan cousin!

approaching round 2 of boosting as much as possible reliably on 93 octane. round 1 I ate a JE piston http://forums.2gnt.com/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=60&topic_id=40459&mode=full

Outside of Corona: "That sucks, peace out..." (jamie walks away)... "Sweeet, what we doin?" -Zac
Tim's garage (prior to motor install): "Im gonna smoke real quick, that way if you fuck up I am already nicotined up" -Tim

Well I finally got her dyno tuned on E85 with DSMLink last year, made a couple 11 second passes at the end of the year and put her away.

This year comes...
-Built transmission that will actually go into gear at 8500rpms and not have to try 3 times...

-Scattershield

-Possibly a side exit exhaust with a cutout to go either out the side or out the "regular" exhaust

-Cage it. This one im unsure of due to the fact of I dont know if I want to drive a caged car on the street. Track complained a little bit last year so im still not sure. As I have more power to be gained out of the tune, and hopefully better numbers with the tune and a trans thatll shift using no-lift-to-shift

----------------------------------------

I used to have a 420A...


'92 TSi AWD

11.8 @ 119mph
470awhp 405 ft/lb torque
30psi on E85 w/ Borg Warner S256 Turbo

My DSM Registry: http://www.dsmregistry.com/166

Evo:
Pick up some hawk HT10's for the front (for track use).
Refinish the evo8 wing I just picked up (sand it down to all carbon fiber and reclear)
Hopefully spend a weekend at Thunderbolt
Maybe also spend a weekend at Pocono
Maybe a larger rear sway bar and/or a second set of rims/tires for the track
Probably will need a new timing belt by the end of the year

Eclipse:
Sell the turbo kit and return to stock
Sell the car
Sell all spare parts
Use some of the proceeds to hopefully fund the above plans for the evo

I contributed to the Wiki!
EVO IX - just a really expensive boost gauge and a K&N air filter
96 Eclipse RS -awaiting registration and inspection
95 Eclipse GS - parts car
Mods/Profile - http://www.2gnt.com/index.php?d=cs82685

Get the Eclipse in good working order to make it to the shootout (don't want to show up in a Trailblazer).

-Adjustable cam gears to get the timing just right
-UDP to replace my bad stocker
-Tie rod ends
-lateral and compression control arms and upper ball joints
-tires
-brakes
--- if I get a tank of CO2 or CO2/Argon, patch the strut towers (no holes yet... but close) **** may be next year when fixing a couple of small dents and dings (not sure how it got one on its roof?)****
-get a set of license plates

And of course since this hasn't occurred in at least 2 years, a nice wash and wax.

Trailblazer.... new windshield
