What about you guys (and girls or girl) now???

[turbo chick]

Well....my Eclipse collected some dust at my dad's house. The Talon had some weight added...it's now covered with pounds of salt from the fricken roads.

Other than that, I haven't changed a damn thing. (thanks for asking)

Yea about the same here car is collecting dust while in storage yay. Better than the alternative though lol.

Does your car still run ok, it did not develope a bad throw-out-bearing like turbo chick's car did, did it?

Other than the throw out bearing I don't think it NEEDS anything else right now. I'm taking it out of storage In the beginning of April when I get back from Florida and Matt's gonna start working on it. I am itching to drive it..but not scratching (eww). The itch this winter isn't as bad as it was last winter when Winky broke and I had to drive the Tempo most of the winter...that was depressing. The talon has been pretty good this winter and it's fun to drive so this winter has been much more bearable.

[Devlish]

umm. i bought stuff for my cars too. your welcome for sharing.

So if Matt starts working on it in early April you should be driving it by September right?

[Stash]

My mods this winter were:
Remove Greddy gauges
Remove Profec B and TT

All it has left is the exhaust, FP, and ACT2600, oh and the ultra elusive Taboo SS clutch fork.

How you guys are ready for a beat down this year!

Mods: None :(

Repairs: Bad turbo replaced, crap MBC removed, rerouting vacuum lines to stock today to (hopefully) solve last of turbo problems, rewired ALL aftermarket electronics in car (pillar gauges and gauge faces) and they work now, and finally found a new tranny, just have to send money when my taxes get in. That be about it.

[Stash]

Heres my spring to do list.
Pick up car April 5th, want to have it ready for first autocross on the 20th
Remove SAFCII, 550cc
Install DSMlink, 950cc and AEM WB
Swap Carbotech pads and new rotors from 1g to 2g
Change all fluids and give it a complete inspection, replace any questionable components

Even though I would like to say thats about it, I know more stuff will come through out the summer.
L1R w/ Tial 44 on o2 housing
FMIC
Meth injection
FPR, probably a 255HP with a boost a pump
Small cams 264/272 or FP1/FP2

I want to switch out the OEM style CF hood for a vented one(any buyers for the OEM style?)
I will also most likely be swapping out the Apexi N1 catback for a Thermal R&D.

[nabilus13]

Since my last post, completed vacuum system repair, still have extremely irritation boost problem, probably doing a leak test this weekend.

[Dizmm]

leak test? like a boost leak test? if so, good job, those should be done every oil change.

[TSi_II]

Or if you drive cars like I've had.... Every time you fill up with gas. :D

You drive a honda dont you? Those take gas like once every 5000 miles and you only have to change the oil ever 20k miles

[nabilus13]

Leak test this weekend. I even have a thread on it to be sure I don't f@(k up.

[TSi_II]

I meant the DSMs I've had. Those were some leaky bastards.
