Sure, please grab one for me if you find one.



I feel there is a lot of work associated with beer in your DSM

oops missed that. Sorry for late reply. Yes I trimmed stock 2Ga ducting

Alex, I'll be at a wrecking yard shortly as I seem to go a couple times a month. I'll try and pick one up for ya as I'm currently getting tired of my gatorade bottle setup. lol

and there you go...

btw, nice find Terry! Do you know approximately how much fluid it holds?

Yep..

She is all bright and ready. Just need to dial in and get alignment done. She is holding temperature well as long as my fans run continuously. Pedal feel with 2100 is stock but 6 puck grabs hard and usually chatters when starting from 1st gear. Still need time to get used to it...so far I love it. I put 350kms already.....clutch does not slip anymore

Looks really good Alex!

Love the last pic!

Thanks Jason

I gotta say. I'm a fan on that converted talon look. Congrats man! I've had my 6 puck in for about a year and she still chatters from time to time

So clean... *drool* well done Alex

Very nice, specially the 2nd pic. You can tell you put the effort in making every body panel fit flush to one another, lines look incredible!

You were worried about getting dust on your car on my street and then decided to go offroading!?

Pictures look good!

Thanks Johnny, does your chatters more when hot?



Thanks Eric.



Thanks for noticing that Guillaume. I worked on it none stop for the last few month.



haha yah that was my first day out.....NO DUST! thanks

A lot when I'm hot and lazy. Lol

Yeah that last pic looks good. Red really brings out the cars profile and body lines.

So when are getting together for an ACTUAL DSM MEET?

I scheduled alignment at LEVEL AUTO (Scarborough) on Saturday at 2PM. Anytime after that is fine.

Good shop. I went there for mine and have no complaints. Informative staff and if I recall correctly, I believe the receptionist is pretty cute

^^^ Not thats there's anything wrong with Level's alignment that I had done but to me it seemed like they really didn't want to do anything more then just adjust toe (& have heard others say the same).

I had them ad washers to the one rear side that could use another but I think that was pushing it. Didn't seem like they had any interest in dialing in the camber in the front with my adjustable bushings.

I found a shop I like better that took the time to dial in the front exactly how I wanted it. It actually took them like 4hrs since you needed a special slim wrench for easy adjustment that they didn't happen to have. Think they charged me in the low $200's, which I didn't think was bad, based on the actual amount of time they spent.

They had a nice machine as well, but I can't recall their name off the top of my head

You do have a good point.... They didn't have the tool to adjust my upper front camber, but mine was pretty close to where I wanted it. Same with the rears.

Place I was talking about is called Speedstar. They have moved since I was there. Don't think they have much interest in DSM's but ask them some question on S2000's & tracking them & they'll talk your ear off

pics look great! I still think you should lose the thumbnail wing and go wingless but thats just my opinion.





well done

MVS Auto in Markham. Former dsm'er turn Porsche/Mustnag guy. He has a new snap on alignment machine and is very particular about his alignments.

Thanks Terry, not sure if I like the idea of deleting my rear wiper. I am fan of having all original(except performance parts) things in full working condition including wipers, cold AC, automatic fans, cruise control, fog lights, and ABS

Alex she's looking amazing!

Not sure how people get used to the chatter.

My previous car had no chatter, held like a champ, organic disc.

New car has an ACT2600, and she chatters like nuts and with the solid mounts I feel it in my bones.

Alex post a pic of the engine bay with the new rad.

This is why I went the Southbend route. Feels like a stock clutch for daily driving but it held fine on the 20g and so far no issues on the 30r.

That looks awesome. Clean hatch with the twisties. I'm a fan.

Totally, theres just something about the way it flows.

So last Friday I went to LEVEL AUTO to get alignment done. I drove consistently 100 km/h on 401 and as soon as I got off to Kennedy and stopped at the red light....my temps went up 3 quarters high....

My fans were set to always ON so I desperately cranked up the cabin heat with hopes just to make it to LEVEL AUTO.

Long story short....that same day after alignment was done I was at Terry's place and he pointed out that my upper rad hose was not staying pressurized like it should. We were debating between my rad or faulty head gasket. I didn't have any visible coolant leaks (except for smell) but my cooling system would always end-up with lots of air in it, bubbling overflow, and not much coolant was returned after cool down.

That same Friday at aprx 7PM I called Ziggy and asked if I could pickup Mishimoto 3 core rad from his place around 9pm that same day. Big thanks to Ziggy for being available for me that late on Friday night.

So here are the pics:





This is my old aluminum rad








Its a happy ending after all....I don't have overheating issues anymore and cooling system behaves like it should
I have not tried running AC yet but I look forward to it with confidence. My fans no longer need to stay ON anymore....and my car runs cool under all conditions. Thanks again to Ziggy for this 3 core Mishimoto rad!!!

Also rocking the 3 core, but fml it's a tight squeeze with my turbo, waste gate and dump tube. Trust me, there's no more space to work with. Also partly because I opted for the Mishi shroud kit. But on cool nights, I'll see temps in and around the 175-180 mark..and when it's warmer, 200'ish. Not running fans on all the time. But with them on, will hover around the 180 mark.

Also running a 165 tstat iirc.

Clean install Alex!

Thanks Mike!

If you havent already. I would deff check or replace the rad cap. Remember it is what controls the boiling point of your coolant. 1 psi of pressure 7 degress.

Thanks for pointing that out Stephen. Mine is brand new OEM

2013 seems like the year of the radiator, had to replace mine, you did yours, my buddies just started to leak yesterday lol.

Rad helps to keep things cool....and we had unusually cold winter stretching into late April. It's a Rad Year!

Things are going well with my DSM. It's been a solid daily driver for me with working AC and cruise control. I took her camping last long weekend and she did well driving to French River (350km north near Sudbury). My only concern was the annoying humming noise from 3' exhaust doing 120 at 3500RPM. Slightly taller 5th gear plus a nice resonator would make me 100% happy

I kept few nice things from 99 Spyder part out days so recently I felt it was the right time to put them in.

- Black interior swap including front leather seats plus relocating my two gauges (privacy reasons). Rear black leather seats are still missing as they are not Spyder interchangeable.
* Special thanks to Johnny for finding those rare black rear panels at the junk yard for me





It was dusty and had to be cleaned.




Old seals were dust so I had to re-seal it




---Black dash ready to go in




New mounting solution for my gauges

Final product








Left over stuff minus the gray dash

Sat in her yesterday and definitely looks super nice with the black interior!!
I like your signature! A batch of honour is definitely better than a badge of honour Plus you been spending too much time in US, you're forgetting your "U"s, haha

Very nice!
