Haha!! I remember when I was chasing down those front control arms. Rob just beat me to the punch.
That's exactly where they're from. Glad to see everyone is having a good time.
Winter 2018 - Brembo install on the Spyder. I'll be making a new trunk floor for it this summer. The OEM one can't take any weight. Aside from that, I'm not sure what else need to be done... Oh! A few paint touch ups, the front bumper as well as a hood replacement.
I suppose I could continue to fight against those small leaks in the roof rails.

Brembos are really nice, can't wait till i see pic your of car with them installed. Regarding weight, in oem setup the spare tire keeps the floor leveled and flat. Without it it will just sag down of course. I just got bunch of light foam panels in mine. Does the job for now.
Regarding paint, i think all DSMs with factory paint needs that by now. Imagine if we would could do a group deal with Deep Man's shop tongue

A bit of wiring to go.

Should be good this season!

Just been busy with my union welding program.. That's right, I'm back renewing my CWB and guess what??

I'm the new instructor! laugh

3'gm maf and translator + F.I.C. 1050cc injectors = not much fun tuning.
Your spending a bunch of money why are you not going link? or some other tuning option

Yeah skip the MAF-T. We're not in 2006 anymore. You'll be perfectly fine and have the thing run much better on the stock MAF, it will support an FP Green. Do link regardless, and you can always go to SD if you want.

Well, looks like I'm cutting into my frame rail to get at the rear subframe bolt that busted through its cage and is now spinning causing me grief. The other 3 came off fine.

Dropping my rear subframe - sandblasting and powedercoating everything + rebuilding/replacing all the rear suspension bits (shocks/struts excluded) as well as doing the rear (active) toe delete.

Emptying and dropping my gas tank and repairing the sending unit studs and cleaning up any surface rust.

Fixing any broken bolts in the rear (not many yet, but there will be as I work my way through the back plastics as it's mostly untouched since new).

Replacing ebrake cables.

Nice work Sal, did you get the slugs or are you doing the toe delete another way?

How are you fixing the stud, welding?

Let me know how the ebrake goes, that sh!t was a bitch (i never got it out)

Haven't decided what I'm doing for the toe delete yet. Don't really want to pay the Jay Racing price (which is ridiculously expensive) but I don't have access to a machine shop anymore to turn my own. May go the old school washer solution but not sure yet.

As for the gas tank studs, I will likely use the 'RTM Repair kit' but may fab up something else.

Ebrake...hoping it's not too bad, especially with the whole rear end, driveshaft, and exhaust out of the way. The cables aren't seized or anything and the calipers work fine, but the 'nub' on the end of the right ebrake cable broke off so there's nothing holding the cable into the caliper anymore so I'm just gonna replace it all.

As for the rear subframe bolt/stud, I will cut open the frame rail and likely weld a square 'washer' on the new bolt/stud so that it cannot spin in the frame rail. No oxy-acetylene torch is blasting anything away near/on my frame rail if I can avoid it - plus I don't have one in Michigan anyhow (where the car is on jack stands right now).

Yeah I hear that, if you can get the measurements I am sure we can make it happen.

Let me know how that repair goes!

I couldn't get my cable out of the car itself, there is recess in the body that holds the cable in place.

I will do what I have to to get the ebrake cables out/in. Most of the interior is out of the way already (all the seats/seat backs) and more will be coming out soon so they're coming out one way or another.

Link gets my vote. With a green and 1050's you really want better control then a 3" and translator.

You really aren't supposed to use the raft for anything bigger than 650s
It's not a total loss though, you can use the maf directly with link.

Not even. You can sell the MAF-T for like $100 if anybody even buys them anymore and put the $100 towards other mods. Or use that $100 towards SD, which new will cost you about that and is far superior.

If you don't want SD, stick with the stock 2G MAF. You will not overrun it with your average 50 trim setup. If not, go with the Evo 8/9 MAF which is basically a direct replacement on the 2G. You'll suck the honeycombs out of it before "overrunning" it, and you certainly will not do either on an FP Green.

Regardless, ditch the MAF-T for the sake of your DSM.

No one really buys them anymore, it took a long ass time to sell mine. SD really isn't too hard to tune just time consuming and as Lucian said it's not that expensive.

Link is where you should be spending your money, it's a worth while investment.

Looking great! So where did you install the horns? I was looking at this the other day, but still deciding on a clean location to put them.

The hella horn kit came with two horns. I installed one on each side (passanger/driver). Drive side was the easiest but for passanger side i had share few brackets with my oil cooler installation (my oil cooler is on passenger side).

Much easier to see that explain. Here are few pics:

Each horn is pointed towards the bumper opening so sound is not trapped inside.
Let me know how are you end-up doing it.

Gorgeous car and great work Alex.

I have a 2Ga Talon front bumper but I'd love to see some detail in how you shrouded your FMIC.

Ben,
Thanks for your comments.
Shrouding is basically modifed version of OEM 2Gb Eclipse shroud(all models). I trimmed it just enough to cover FMIC and i kept sides a little longer to fill in gaps on sides of FMIC. I finished the job with aluminum tape to ensure air can't escape except via condenser and radiator. I still use OEM plastic reinforcement bar and it clears over shrouding just fine. See the pics:

Yes sir, didn't need to do the bottom because 8AN oil cooler hose runs below FMIC. Other small areas were filled with soft pipe heating foam.

Nice! Actually almost identical to what I did minus the foil tape. Good idea. I'll definitely be adding that to seal it off. I did the same on the sides, left it a little long and slit the corners to allow it to open up around the edges of the FMIC. Not a very tight seal though so I'll be adding the foil to give the air only one way to go, across the rad.

Nice work Alex, looks beautiful!!

You have been far more productive then I have, here is my list now.
-weld vband on to other side of cat and end of downpipe in car
-do the same for test pipe
-find tps plug and wire in (found 2, first guy bailed on me, waiting for the 2nd guy to send)
-change drive shaft (tcase has been drained already so might as well throw in my fresh ujoint one as the ones in there are cracked)
-fill all fluid
-prime engine
-do snow drifting (unfortunately I doubt it will be ready in time for that but we shall see)
