    Street Build Last of the Barcelona's (98 GSX)

    A car buddy happened to be in the area just by chance lol.

    A quick update. I installed the Summit Racing seats and modified them to fit a set of stock manual sliders that I found at the junkyard, so I can raise and lower the front and back. I had power seats and wanted to get rid of that extra weight.They look good. It's not a perfect match, but I'm...

    Oh, no this is actually quite the opposite. No grinding, brackets, swapping knuckles, or anything of the like required here.The purpose of the spacer straight from the website is "The hub-centric adapter spacer mounts between the rotor and the wheel hub to perfectly center the Mustang rotor in...

    The glass guy I worked with said it's just one of the standard universal trims and that any glass installer should have it. I can ask for the exact size and if he knows the product name/number, but it's nothing special.

    Well I got the front CTSV brakes on. This swap is extremely easy. All was good, my old 17x8 +35 cleared just fine! The bad news. My new 18x8.5 +35 did not clear at all, and I scratched some of the powdercoat off the calipers when I spun the wheel and it dug right in :banghead: . I did my math...

    Yes sir. The flooding has been rough and I'm bummed we can't roll race.I will definitely be there though. I'd like to earn a VIP spot and win some bling!

    I searched everywhere for almost a year looking for a used set of Advan RG3's in the spec that I needed. Overseas, you name it. Considering those are 600 a wheel brand new, I just couldn't justify that cost, so I chose these. They somewhat mimic the RG3.Avid.1 AV26 18x8.5 +35 on 245/40.They...

    I had tried to do as much as I could for the paint on my own, but it needed help from an expert. I had the car fully paintless dent repaired by a friend and then paint corrected and sealed. I will need to repaint the rear bumper soon, but she's looking pretty decent on the new shoes.Time to...

    I'm stoked to finally pick up the CTSV front calipers. They look amazing, but will be PC'd match the rears. Off to get black chromed they go. Here are some pics out of the box. It's hilarious how large these are if you compare a stock front caliper next to it in person.

    Drove this thing to Powercruise in Brainerd, Minnesota. It's a great event if you've never heard of it, but will be shooting for Proving Grounds next year. I straight up had never driven this thing for more than a 2 hour road trip. This was a combined 20 hour trip by the end of it. No trailer...

    It has been quite some time since I have updated this thread, so here is what I have been up to so far. This is the last look that the DSM had in 2018 and I was ready for some changes.First things first. The hood had rock chips beyond repair, the drivers sideskirt was hurting, valve cover...

    Appreciate it man! Yeah you definitely have, I've been there every year except 2018. There aren't too many DSM's that roll race so I try to be there to represent. If you see me next time say what's up!

    It's been a long time since I've posted an update, but figured I'd let you guys know I'll be starting to get DSM content out on Youtube if you want to follow the build and other antics there.A buddy of mine has the exact same 98 Barcelona GSX, but with a much larger turbo. We just got it on...

    2G Fuel Pump Rewire Issue (burning hot!)

    JM1080, I am having this exact same problem on a E85 450 Walbro Pump. Except I actually had it get so hot it melted a section. Was the solution one of those listed above?
