I have a lot of things on my mind, not 100% sure what will pan out yet.

- Remove welded center diff, install 4 spider - this is 100% happening.
- Finish active cooling for transmission, just need to decide on a pump and cooler.
- Convert FP Red to twin scroll and build tubular manifold
- Remove Thermal R&D catback, replace with aluminum tubing and "oem" muffler
- Pick up a set of slicks
- Build a tubular rear subframe
- Design/build a new/better catch can.

Been sitting on the fence for a while about selling my 1G and moving on. It has sat for a long time. Winter brings on the thinking.....I've had the car for over 3 years and I've put maybe 4k on it.

Mr Drew, would love to see your jig that you use for building your tubular subframe, I assume most of this stuff is for weight loss. Also what are your thoughts on the welded diff, mine has one and a few people said toss it, other say keep it. Oh and where you getting yours?

Gui!! Yes Please!!! today is my last day till Jan so you just let me know when is good!

Brian, don't sell!! That thing is beautiful!!

My 2017 new years resolution is to loose weight...on my car lol.

Yes the subframe should shave a good 25lbs or more off the car. I've studied the various subframes out there and it shouldn't be too complicated and I have a spare stock subframe to make a jig from as well so it's not like I have to pull the car apart to take this on.

The exhaust should save another 10lbs or so. Anyone want a Thermal R&D?

I initially got the welded center diff on my Jack's build over the 4-spider as I was tapped out on funds with the build. The intention was always to replace it at a later date.

Welded center diffs are great in two aspects; 1) grip off the line, 2) strength.

On the other hard, despite what anyone says, turning sucks, always. It's easier on the transmission but plays havoc on everything else, my rear axle supply is dwindling and I'm down one rear diff. Of the axles I've broke, there is noticeable wear in the CV cups from the constant binding that happens because of it.

I'm buying the hardened cross shaft from Tim Zimmer(TMZ) and a local friend of mine has a cnc mill to do the machine work on the housing.

Just finishing up Operation Rot-Begone; should be bringing it home from my friend's house today, weather depending.

This winter it'll see a timing belt job, fixing a long list of minor annoyances, and a once-over to find anything else that needs attention smile

It was my daily most of the summer so I didn't get the chance to break anything major frown

New set of shoes fresh off:

Hoping some of the speed comes with them.

Also thinking of trying a Dyna Arc2. Should allow me to run a larger gap for better street manners and still not misfire under high boost.

Im hoping this will be the final winter of my build. What I have left:

Replace my rotting hood.
Fix my tps problem.
Take my exhaust manifold off and get ceramic coated.
Finish wiring my audio/video stuff.
Put my interior back together.
Tune ( or possibly out source this ).

And if time and money allows I would like to get a paint job and I would love some new seats.

Many that did ...end up regretting it and looking for their old DSM again. We build/perfect them during winter so we can enjoy them during summer. Very good balance in my view smile Keep it and fix it.

Hey Alex,
Yes it'll be baby boost 10-12 psi but at this point I'll be happy with that! Been 9 years without it! lol...
Once my life is in order and I'm able to have a "toy car", then I'll compete with the big boys.

BTW, you're DSM really looks good.

Sweet, everyone seems to have some good plans for the winter! I really hope to see a few more members back in their rides for spring '17, it feels like years since I've seen some of you last!!

I wish I could say I'm joining the AWD SPY army, but finding a suitable donor has been a bitch.

For this winter tho, I plan on just getting everything to work properly.
I've got:
Master clutch cylinder to rebuild or replace.
Putting new calipers on the front
Both window regulators
Passenger roof motor
My front seats have rips in them, so I think I wanna get them reupholstered
Set up and install speed density
Need 2 hankook tires
Install hid
3G steering wheel
Also need to wrap some interior pieces. (Precious owner had custom painted interior)

If all that gets done, I'll be a happy man! rotate

Gonna try to rebiuld my self. Its a dsm lsd that was whining a bit. I have Brightsides shim kit. Was hoping to get together with the quinte group and some beers and give it a try.

Shimming the rear diff is best done by someone who has been doing it for some time. Special tools and a "feel" for it is a must to complete it properly.

I had my evo clutch lsd installed by a professional for much less then I originally thought.

I know it can be done with the tools I have access to. And I know people who have done it. If I dont try it.. I wouldnt feel satisfied.
