I would remove the shock cartridge first but I will probably just use spacers.

Tried in vain to get my alarm working but gave up lol.
So I rewired my fuel pump and installed my interior.

Coilovers have been shipped with replacement shock canister in the works.
3 pairs of fender flares have been shipped.
Alarm suddenly decided to start working after I bought a new one(kept recipt no biggy)
And I think I have figured out my maft settings.

All in all things are looking good

1 of 3 packages came today.

Its really starting to take shape now I cut up my old struts to use the strut mount and welded it in the evo strut, im not super confident in my welds so I may go back and drill and tap a bolt in there just so I can be %100 im sure its fine but better to aire on the side of caution.

I also go my tyres mounted and bolted those up and attached the fender flares I'm really happy the way these turned out, I have to play with the fronts a bit though the way they sit just doesn't flow with the rears but I need to install the front coilovers before I can play with camber.

Opinions welcome.....

I see your vision for your project and I like where your going with it.

Good work on the shocks I figured that the bottom mount would just rest inside the u joint, but I am guessing that's not the way it works.
In the stock evo suspension that was the way it went.
Did you pick up those other camber plates?

In the back of my mind I was thinking what if I want to return them to stock but it may get redone that way.
Glad you all like the way its going.

I like it.!

It's looking pretty mean.

What are your thoughts on colours?
I will probably get it dipped I was either thinking flat black with gloss accents.
Or panda white with black hood,flares,roof and spoiler.

Go with the Panda theme, if it sucks then "murder" it out.

panda looks pretty good, I goofed around with photoshop when I was planning on dipping my car.
When I did mine though I did it like the sushi delivery car and liked it, flares was the one thing I was missing to complete the look.

Pics??

I didn't think I had them but you are in luck, I found them!
Just a warning I am not an expert photoshopper and my cars paint is really uneven making my job even more difficult.

hey that's my old Spyder

Bryan, your DSM looks better in black...so bad ass

Yeah I think that was my favorite out of all of them, haha yeah I figured you would comment when you saw it!

Was gonna say I recognize that 2g. Lol

So one front coilover installed, 2 new holes drilled and walla it fits.
The ups man turned up with my new shock canister. So I can rebuild the other front tomorrow.

Should have angled your camber plates so you can do Camber & Caster adjustments I do like how it is coming along though

So replacing the front Shock canister is turning out to be a big job the mount wouldn't unscrew so I had the cut out the old canister, and the collar are seized up too sigh......
I have the mount soaking in petrol as we speak hoping to shift some of the rust and corrosion because I could only get the new one screwed in halfway.

Ok so both fronts are on, replacing tje front blown shock cartridge was a f#@king nightmare alot of cutting, swearing and knuckle grazing.
But its done now and the car is back on 4 wheels, the fronts are a little higher than they were with the old set up but I will lower the flare to accommodate that and if I feel like going even lower ill shorten the bump stop and it has another inch to go.
I also found out my wheels are not jeep gamblers but a deep dish version made by american eagle.

Hope fully the last update untill its on the road.

Well as my luck would go the site I was working on finished and I got the "call the office" which means i'm sat at home till work picks up or I get accepted to go out west.
Sighhhhhhhhhh.

I have since landed a job in Alberta which means I will be away 2 out of every 3 weeks, god knows when this is ever getting on the road. Anybody want to buy it lol.

Oh come on! I'm lucky if I get time once every three weeks to turn a wrench.. you can't sell her now she's just beginning to take shape!

Congrats on the job though

Theres a guy on here sometimes that works in Albrta... I think his name is Sven.. Lol


He owns a DSM here in kingston and only sees it 2 weeks of the year.!

Wow lol well the 1st week I have off I will be driving it.

So its all buttoned up and ready to just need to add some camber to stop some rubbing get it registered tomorrow and I will be driving

big fan of the fender flairs, they really do work with your 1g, hope to see you at some meets this year.

Holy frack she only bloody drives!!!!! And thanks to Stephan Tanchak doesn't stall either. A shout out to everyone who helped on the boards or text support, I really appreciate it a rebuilt throttle body and a new ics and I reckon She will be ready to fail her first etest

Should pass the emissions test as long as its got a working cat. Remember, my 1G nearly passed the first time with a super, super old cat, an exhaust with many large holes burned through, boost leaks and the worst idle surge.

Was my pleasure to help! Will idle mint once those few problems are solved.

Car looks great in person, and will be awesome once it gets painted. Could also use some wider rims to accommodate for super wide tires. Would look hella mean!

Lol I cant justify wider rims silly offset will have to do lol. If it fails the etest there is always the drugstore alcohol trick. Worked for my beater.

Went to a local car/rice meet last night and the car got some positive comments. Wtf is that, nice car bro etc etc. My favorite being (thinking I cant hear him) its a bit beat up he must drift it lol.

hehe nice car "bro"

I did giggle a bit lol.

Since I cant get it on the road on these days off I figured I can at least buy parts and this is the first part.

Where you working in AB Kirk?
I'm up in Mildred Lake now.

I have a feeling I'm going to feel your pain about not getting my car done on my days off.

Surmount 2 buddy, the week off is great but the time at work stops all the fun lol.
