I'll photochop it for ya chip. ;)

Here is one I just got delivered today that I bought (97' gsx). Really threw me off when I seen Hyundai tiburon wheels on it, Ha ha !




I'll be throwing on a set of slipstreams with big meaty tires, and coil overs in the a.m. Hopefully by wed it'll have a evoIII 16g and all the supporting mods/wiretuck, And fresh paint.


I have a cayenne red pearl 98' gsx coming tuesday or wed that I bought aswell so hopefully I can start finding/buying alot more of these things with winter coming up. These cars always seem to be hit or miss. When I'm looking, there are zero listed forsale close by. When I'm not looking, I get calls of a hundred people selling theirs. Pretty sure the neighbors don't know whats going on being I bring a different colored one home every day (literally), Just to screw with everyone ha ha !

Woot, just picked up a set of crack-free reinforced rx7 wheels for my slicks!

[EklipzGSXkid]

Lucky ! They are really hard to come by it seems!

[enigma]

Yeah, I've been looking for a little while now. Took me a bit to find a set for a good price.
On a side note, how much do you usually sell your 2g's for, I might be looking for a clean driver in a month or so.

Nate had a set for sale on Philly DSM for $175. Not sure if they're still available.

I love the shape of the of the opening. It flows really well, but it just looks half finished. Maybe if there was some material that went back into the duct, hiding the crash bumper and smoothing out the edges. Even if it was painted black.

But mad props for doing as good of a job as you did. I like it, but I can't say I love it.


In other news... my Holset HE351ve should be here by the end of next week. I'm striving to be the first DSM with an electronically controlled VGT. I think I found the right combo of parts to bring programming it down to my level, namely, C++. Expect a build thread to be started soon on it. Plans are to get it on the car by the end of March.

i know what u mean, but i dont have the skill to make stuff like that. and i dont wanna use 25lbs of bondo either. its tricky in there lol.

appreciate the critique tho!

I seen the bumper in person last night and it's better then expected. Obviously it was a DIY move, but it came out great for what it is, plus as far as i kno its doing it "performance" job.

Sorry we couldn't talk longer last night brit, i was handling that street business like usual. lmao

[HaveBlue83]

thats fine chip, i know u guys were ready to go when i pulled up. I shall see u again as usual.

I wanna have my rear bumper redone too but i dont know what to do about the white lettering on it. I cant remember if you can fet the white lettering still.

I got all new lettering and badges in white a few years ago when i had my bumpers repainted and i beleive the letters were able to be purchased the front 2gb symbol was one of the last available that i got. Check with some local body shops and see what they can find for ya. Honestly I'd leave the rear bumper with nothing on it. Always preferred mine that way, ithink it looks best on the pandas like that.

[HaveBlue83]

i Dunno...... i'm really partial to having all the emblems on it.

I alsowanna get the rear wing wiper area filled. I should grab a wing in a yard and make a project out of it. little stuff like that makes all the difference.

I just scored another 2gA 5spd awd talon this evening. It has a fully built motor, But stock turbo/exhaust/intake (Previous buyer ran out of cash after the motor install and just let the car sit. It sat since 2002'. The car has 66k original miles. I am picking up another one within the next day aswell. I think my new years resolution for this year is try and get every single dsm I see, Until I have absolutly no where to put them. I'm sure a few people on here have that addiction of needing every dsm they see, When in reality we all know we don't actually need them, Being it'll be a headach anyways! I'm on my 4th 2g purchse for 2012 now

[HaveBlue83]

DO NOT CONVERT ANOTHER TALON!

that is your new years resolution. u keep converting my brothers n sistas!!! its makin me a sad panda

[enigma]

You should sell me one.

[EklipzGSXkid]

I just sold my one I just got two days ago, tonight with 61k miles. I pulled the motor, And sold it complete minus block/head for $800.

[HaveBlue83]

whatchu doin with that built motor?

[EklipzGSXkid]

I saved everything just incase anyone needs some parts. I was going to make a partout post on another forum. I have 4 or so fully built heads (Dual springs, cams, titanium retainers, ported, 1mm o/s titanium valves, ETC). I also have complete built shortblocks, And eagle rods/forged pistons laying around too.

[HaveBlue83]

damn, nice. i should get a spare ready to go head. any dsmer should have one lol.

[knochgoon24]

Jeez. Glad the business is still steady for ya.

So I finally found a front ABS sensor. Let me know if you ever find a driver's rear one for me.

And I got the HE351ve yesterday, and the pressure sensors and stepper motor controller today. I have a T3 manifold, Turbosmart wastegate,DEI turbo blanket, VRSF FMIC, and 3-row Honda half radiator all on the way. I'll need to fab up something for an o2 housing, and I still need to get some thermistors for air temp sensors and oil lines, but I should have everything else I need to get the VGT turbo setup together in the near future.
