[GSXbabe8]

ok now for the updates

This is the current and new clutch/puck. My throw out barring took a crap. So we pulled the trans and discovered that the act clutch and puck was shot. And the fly wheel surface was trashed. So now I have a Clutch Masters FX 400 with a 4 puck disc and the findanza light weight fly...

The throw out barring

http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/updates/nonabs.jpg


This is what is coming to the car once I get a head done for it. It is a fully built block. bored .20 over, JE pistons, Eagle rods, All ARP hardware. I want to get rid of the eagles and get manly TT I-beams. And get it blue printed/balanced http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/updates/builtblock.jpg

[Import Junky]

nice to see a girl getting dirty. you do more work on yours than i do mine. i really need a garage though. i can't do drivetrain/motor work in my parking space at a condo

[GSXbabe8]

Thanks man. :) yes lol I am very devoted to learning and doing as much as I can. That sucks about your garage sit! lol I do all my work on the ground in the dirt hhahah! I have a garage out back but its not like big enough to do the work inside. And not lit up enough. So if it rains or snows and something happens im stuck doing it in the mud lol. Why don't you rent a garage?

[GSXbabe8]

Where the fuse box is relocated to...

http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/updates/Photo07142324.jpg

[Spininall4s]

showing some dsm love ....how much boost are you running?

[GSXbabe8]

=) Thanks haha. Right now 22psi. Once I get bigger injectors 25-27

[Import Junky]

don't have a garage close enough to bother with. Don't get me wrong, I've replaced two turbo setups, done exhaust swaps, suspension installs...etc. All in my parking space. Just not motor builds..haha. The stuff i'm doing now is already against assocation rules. i get in trouble all the time for working on my car.

[s3xrapt0r]

nice man !! im likin it ! alot of work went into it ! glad to see a dsm done with care !

[GSXbabe8]

hhaha yeah! well believe me we've gotten in trouble with the landlord here for working on our cars "late at night" lol. I don't care about the neighbors I care about getting my car done lol. And it was on a weekend haha! Oh well let them bitch lol. I guess. I mean I guess you could get kinda kicked out lol and that would suck. But hey.

nice man !! im likin it ! alot of work went into it ! glad to see a dsm done with care !

lol girl haha im a girl. And thank you. Yep Im VERY anal about my 2g. It gets taken care of well. Im glad you like it :)

[Elliott18t]

haha i was gonna be like, "dude, why are you wearing nailpolish" ... then i saw GSXbabe8

[GSXbabe8]

haha yep! im a girl lol. And also how it says up above... "along with my man" haha. Ive put a lot of hard work and time into this car and I plan on continuing. And I will post everything that gets done to the car up then. Just being unemployed right now is really slowing me down from doing everything else I plan to do.

[itwillboost]

Looks good and I gotta respect anyone else who works out it the cold and the **** weather.

[mann]

Wow that's a nice crack on that piston. These DSMs bring back painful yet pleasant memories. Good move on ditching the ebay turbo, it can only be a crap car if you put crap in it.

[GSXbabe8]

Looks good and I gotta respect anyone else who works out it the cold and the **** weather.

Yeah it really sucks dude. lol. Latley though I haven't had to fix anything. And when a DSM isn't acting up lol thats scary. Cos your wondering what its plotting haaha!


Wow that's a nice crack on that piston. These DSMs bring back painful yet pleasant memories. Good move on ditching the ebay turbo, it can only be a crap car if you put crap in it.

lol well the kid who I bought the car off of back in 2008 had the 16g on it. ha so I ran it until it blew. I don't like anything ebay. Its junk. Yes painful in deed lol. Painful to the wallet/purse lol! But they are fun cars when they work lol. I have a lot of plans for it. Hopefully soon I will get hired some where and can continue ordering parts for a head build for my built block. =)

[assault187]

Why the 4 puck?

[GSXbabe8]

b/c I didn't have a choice in the matter if I went with puck or street disc. My boyfriend pulled the clutch and puck out of his 1g for my 2g when my throwout barring went. I don't have a job so I don't have money to buy the street disc. Do I like that I have a puck.. no. but for right now its guna have to do. =/

lol Nick do you even know who this is? haha.

[94integra]

That frontend looks sick. Any guess on how much power ur making?

[GSXbabe8]

No clue. Haven't dynoed. I'd say prob around 350 or so. And thank you. :) Whenever I get a job and money im plannin on getting 1000cc injectors or higher and tuning for 25-27psi. Hopefully ill be able to dyno and get numbers. Hard to find decent priced AWD dynos though.

[94integra]

Good luck on the build. Its nice to see a female into cars. If you see the car in the avatar or the one below around say wassup lol
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s123/axel17602/100_3911.jpg

[GSXbabe8]

Alright haha. Thank you. I can't wait to get a job again soI can continue on odering parts for a built head! I love everything about cars. I love ripping them apart. Building them. Putting them back together. Everything! haha. I love learning more about them too! I usually am up at that Rutters in York in the summer as well. If you go up there. But if you see me just say hey haha. If you pass me just wave. I may not wave back right away b/c usually my reaction is delayed cos I'm trying to see who it is lol. So don't get put off if I don't wave back the first time haha.

[GSXbabe8]

**Update** So I cleaned up the engine bay A LOT! Re did the lip of my wheels purple. And just bought a set of FIC 1000cc injectors and am hopefully soon retuning for 26psi from 22psi.

[Foolinaround]

[clipse97]

[DsmRob]

Looks good, I have a cyclone if your interested.

[GSXbabe8]

No thanks. I just picked up a Magnus intake. Thanks tho rob.

[GSXbabe8]

And lastley.. New wheels are going on the car once I sand blast and powdercoat them. Gun metal spokes and a candy purple lip. Theyre konig Traffixs. And a 3000gt vr4 break upgrade is going on. Am using an 13in SVT corba rotor for this. Reason being it sets back in farther and allows more clearance for the wheel.
http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/w.jpg

[Alien Visitor]

Nice job! I always liked the 2Gs.

[GSXbabe8]

Thanks =)

[acpstunts]

[GSXbabe8]

Phazer purple. Powderbuythepound.com. why?

[Jeff822]

Very nice 2g and build. I miss my 2g haha. Good luck with everything

[GSXbabe8]

Very nice 2g and build. I miss my 2g haha. Good luck with everything

Thank you. My next goals are besides the wheels and break upgrade is to get those manly tt i-beams and the block balanced. Then get a head goin. I would like to run the kelford 272s. I like them a lot.

Lol I feel your a real motor head when you've done it in the dirt, snow, rain. Ive torn it apart while being deathly sick. I have a lot of ambish. haha. I went 16 hours straight.. no eatting, drinking, nothin powder coating all those parts cos I wanted to get it done. haha. I felt weird after I got done cos of the lack of food. I was on a get it done NOW track.

Lol ive done it all man. Snow, rain, changed an axel out with a tornado warning and winds coming fron the bowels of hell. Ya know lol just another day. Im excited to get these new wheels goin with the break upgrade!

[GSXbabe8]

*update*

So my 30r took a ****. Now I went holset. I have a holset hx 35. I upgraded my Magnus street intake with a jmf race intake with the Q45 throttle body.
Im pretty happy with the setup thus far.

Here's a recent shot of the bay.

http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/IMAG1637-1-1.jpg

http://i491.photobucket.com/albums/rr278/dsmlover2/IMAG1659-1.jpg

[GSXbabe8]

I had to re do the hoses from the heater core to the water pipe and such due to the Q45. cos at full throttle the lines would get smacked. and had to cut and re weld the break canister bracket over some due to it was hitting the intake.

[GSXbabe8]

Update!

[Spawne32]

Lookin good, hows it ride with those solid and urethane bushings?

[GSXbabe8]

Driving wise I don't really notice much. Handling wise is a lot better. Launches will be a lot better lol haven't done one yet. The only thing I really notice is if in a low rpm since its 5sp and if I'm going too slow for the gear it vibrates loudly. Some tines I can hear the rear end whine on the highway lol. Other wise it's great. This spring I'm doing the front.

[GSXbabe8]

updates

replaced diff for lower milage one. powdercoated it as well. all new seals.
