Some of you know that I have acquired Shamu as a means of keeping my DSM dream alive. I've decided at the request of a few to start chronicling my journey to resurrect her to at first a running daily, then a boosted beauty. I know that she won't be as fast as she was with the original motor, but I will come as close as possible to it with my current 2.0 block. I will be taking pictures today of the current progress and hopefully have them up tonight.

Thanks to the people that have helped thus far. It's been much appreciated.

Whoa....

You're bring Shamu back? That's awesome. Props to you, sir.

Thanks Driggs. Right now, I am working on getting the fuel system together. I've checked the lines and they all look good. Now, I just need a fuel pump and FPR, Thanks go to Terry for one of his Star_Turbo_Talon signature fuel rails (minus the signature). I'll be hanging out in the search option for a while since I've never had to do anything with the fuel on the Talon, cept putting in a walhboro. Lucky me, I have a 95 so the FPR could handle the 50 shot of nitrous that I fired off maybe 3 times. I have pictures now of the car as it currently looks and will put them up later tonight or tomorrow (As soon as I can get the cable for the camera from my parents house).

Sweet.

Gay avatar though.

Good to here you're getting here back on the road.

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

I was originally going to use an external pump, but Terry talked me out of it. I've got a spare walboro that I'm going to put in there. and yes it will eventually be boosted again. First things first... Put the beast back together.

haterz!

The car put down some nice numbers after a lot of work was done to unfuck a lot of it, and some non-retarded tuning was done. Sux that when it started to show its true potential, it got ransacked. good luck with it Nick.

Ouch. That's gonna be a pretty good bit of work. For a shameless plug, I have almost a complete interior sitting in a spare room here at the house. As well as some window motors, glass, etc if you need anything.

Thanks, I'll keep you in mind, but I think there's some people a little closer to home that have what I need. I'll let you know if there's anything missing that I might need though.

I havent been on the boards long enought, but ide like to know what the story behind this "Shamu" is.

what happened to it? Was it vandalized? or just stripped?

I guess I lost track of Shamu after whodatt bought it. I understand he sold it now to someone else, but wtf why is it trashed in the inside? What does the outsides look like?

Well, hopefully you can pull it off. You seem to have a lot of heart.

If it was me though, I'd probably be too discouraged to continue every time I saw it.

Good luck.

The pics are a little misleading. It's not as bad as it looks. As soon as I rewire the stereo system it will look much nicer.

Ya, bad deals are something we will talk about some other time. I didn't quite get the message that the wiring was in complete disarray either. I only heard about the condition of the frame and suspension. Other than wiring its still in better shape than what I'm working with now. I still wouldn't mind finding a nice shell to swap my motor into. Just finding the time and money to put up in the mean time is rough. Good luck fixing the community whore, LOL.. If it makes you feel better, I even drove it when it was a 2.6L. So ya, it's been around

No. And I really don't see how rewiring the stereo will do ANYTHING to make that car look any better. You really got your work cut out for you dude. You should restore it to it's original glory with some vinyl and a double wing. edit: Found a pic of it at it's "best". lol

https://www.kaptainmyke.com

Frankly most of you are talking out your ass including Stanley. The car's chassis and body were in great shape. The work is that there was so much aftermarket wired into the car that when Huj removed most of it he just left the original shit hanging. The pictures are very misleading.

I dont know where stanley gets off saying the chassis and body were fucked up, they are fine and really need little to no work. The front bumper is all that needs paint but then again unlike stanleys car, Shamu has all its body panels.

All the car needs is someone with a little bit of ambition to clean up the wiring, convert the fuel system back to a single pump design and replace the broken window. If the car had a sunroof, i would have it myself.

Anyone who cant actually build their own project car should remain silent in this thread. I am not talking about paying a shop to install a LSD, ported head and cam gears Stanley. I only see a few people in this thread who have anyting usefull to say in this thread, the rest of you need to ask your mom for your balls and go do something with your own car.

If my car got owned the way Shamu did, I would have a lot of respect for the guy who had the ambition to put it back on the road as more than just a daily driver. Thats one reason I could never sell my own car to any lazy ass on this site.



Terry

How do you REALLY feel Terry???? hehe
Myke, I had to do a TON of searching to find that pic. Seems every pic of it that existed was on Bryndens page which is long gone. Luckily, I found a link to a pic on ricecop.com that had it listed as "the skunk car" or something. lol

Not too bad. Makes my Regal project seem a whole lot easier now!

All I have to deal with is wiring and engine issues... no ECU/PCM to deal with for now.

Good luck with getting Shamu back together. It's going to take some big balls to tighten the old girl back up again. Keep your head straight and stick to the plan or this one could eat you alive.

For the new(er) guys, run a search on terms like: Brynden, Bryden, Shamu, and maybe 2.6. I'll see if I can't find something locked away somewhere that I can't dust off for more background for you guys.
