First off to Wicked96GS-T i sincerely appologize for the bumping i did in another thread of mine and also sorry if this doesnt belong here as i felt it should be here in that there are pictures in my gallery that can relate to some of the questions in regards to where to install some stuff or just how some things look like
Next ok my car is i'd say about 90% complete. All thats left for me to put on are the Intercooler(Gredddy 24R), Downpipe(Buschur), Fuel Injectors(Greddy 660cc's or recommend some other ones if you'd like),and Walbro 190LPH Fuel Pump, as far as direct engine bolt ons, and im "done", in terms of engine work,meaning that i will switch my attention into restoring my exterior. Don't worry guys im keeping it in stock trim( but to each his own im not saying kits are bad) except for the rear bumper. i'm going to get the Rudor piece which can be found at VersusMotorsports.com for those interested in seeing it, its pretty clean and simple yet makes the end go "up" so to speak which gives the car, in my eyes, a more aggresive "stance".
As for the rest of the mods, whats left for me to do is get the Blitz BLM series Boost and EGT gauge, the Greddy Profec B Spec 2 Boost Controller and the Greddy E-Manage ( although i've been doing research on the DSMLink which looks better) so i think that would be enough to get my car to being a "daily driver/commuter" hybrid. I've posted pics in my gallery and i would like you guys to check them out as i've been through thick and thin with the car. I went from having it parked for 1 year and half, and having my family curse it and begging me to get a new car, to them saying they're glad i stuck with it. I feel im a true DSMer because i stuck with my car even though many opportunitys presented themselves to "get rid of it" but the truth is, when i seen this car back when i was in i think 7th or 8th grade i loved it. I dont know why but i loved it. Im not a rich guy who came with rich parents so it wasnt until i graduated in 2000 and got a sweet job and finally found this car. It's my "Sports Car" dream car(my true dream car is a "Supersports Car" Porsche 911 GT2).
Also if you guys want some ideas on where to put the Turbo Timer and what a turbo looks like go ahead and check out some of the pics. If you have any Turbo Timer questions feel free to ask me, it was not a hard install at all and i have NO electronic/stereo( i put TUrbo Timer in this category) and i was able to put it in. Anyways with a simple dremel i was able to get the turbo timer in that spot and i feel it looks VERY clean, not sure how many people have thought of putting it in that spot but i havent seen too many TT's in that spot.
As you can see from the "stock" engine bay it needed a lot of work. That work has paid off and i'm glad to say this: The DSMTuner community made it possible for my small dream to be realized. It was because of YOUR help, input, opinions, and techguide complete with shop links that made it possible and in return i wish to THANK ALL who posted their opinions in the various threads. I even want to thank the moderators who help 'police' these forums and have at times "taught" me the proper way of postings as you can can see from my reputation bar, or lack there of.
Anyhow from one DSMTuner to another: Thanks you all for giving me a home and i will be asking for my help and keep it coming!!
