Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
I hope to get at least one of the cars running quickly, but things never work out too well so I voted summer.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
JUST DROVE MINE! 10 minutes ago I took it for its first spin in 7 months. JET the last time it ran was on the way home from Cedar Falls last year.
I still need to take care of a few dumb things but so far so good. |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Hopefully in the next month or so. Last time my car was running good was around october of 04. Drove it like 4-5 times last year and every time a different problem. GHEY!

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Mine was running.... till I fried the starter hardcore style.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
I started mine back up yesturday. Unfortunately my tranny was giving me hell again. So today I bought a used tranny to get me by. But the tranny I got is a 23 spline, and I have a 22 spline transfer case.:( And I realised that as I was trying to put the transfer case on the tranny, which was already in the car.:(:( This car is killing me. One way or another, I want to be driving it this weekend.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
does this mean you'll go down to uni this weekend mo?

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Thats a definite possibility.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Mo, haven't talked to you since Cedar Falls last year, hopefully I'll run into you this weekend. If you can get a hold of a tcase it won't be too bad to get the car going. It would be nice to have more than one or two working DSMs down on Uni this year. ;)
Just racked up 18 miles on the car since I got it back together. Besides the exhaust banging on the oil pan, everything seems good so far. Jim |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Not a DSM but my car is coming out of storage tomorrow. Needs nothing other than the battery put back in.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
My car fired up tonight. It was also the first time it ran since Cedar Falls last Oct. It was a little cranky at first, but it runs good now! I didn't get to take it for a spin yet. I will probably do that on Thurs.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
I hope to have my car up and running by June 1.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Been driving Cory's old 91 Tsi with Jet's old Tranny all winter, she started up and ran VERY well through all the snow, all the time. <Thanks Cory!>
Need to do some finishing touches on the T-28 install into the 98 Tsi and get a basic tune on the DSMLINK, untill all the tranny upgrades go in. I hope to be back on the road with the 98 this Sat night, IF <BIG IF> ALL goes as planned. |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Mine is running.. but (always has to be a but) 2 of my spark plugs arn't putting off a hot enough spark so I have to buy new ones after school today.:mad:

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
hopefully I'll be starting to tear mine apart by the weekend to see if it's got spun bearings, or just needs balance shafts
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Been ripping it up all winter! Just got some fresh meats on my rims, it's driving better than ever!
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
My car was running and tuned, but i found a shell i wanted, so now i'm doing a motor swap. Hope to be done in a week.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?

still working on mine but what do I care I can't drive till june 16 when I get my lic. back after over 1year |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
My GSX has worked since I bought it in Feb, and I've only been making it run nicer/look better. Knock on wood, though.
The conquest got up and running for the first time in almost 2 years about 2 weeks ago. Just gave it a bath. I need to do some more misc crap to it, and figure out why I can't go WOT...but other than that, it's all good. |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Mine was running. But now it's going under the knife for a clutch, turbo and exhaust install. Good things shall be coming soon.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Mine should be running this weekend. after completly swapping everything from the Talon to the laser.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Car is running but tranny's bad. Center Diff let go as I was pulling into my garage after a few hours of sitting out by Moroso during a Chevy/Ford day waiting for people to play with.
Once I get situated back up north. LSE will get the tranny to look at. Shifts just fine but case has a hairline crack. |
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
mark up another one for its ready right now, my ride is running.

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
Yup, mine is running as well. First time in years that my car is running at the beggining of the season. Nice to feel 1.5bar on some old C16.:)

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
By the way, I will never have a running DSM.
|
Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
My car might run tonight. (I hope so, we still want to go to the track tommorrow).

Re: It's spring time and is you car running?
2 weeks ago.
- Running 92 TSI awd. (only DSM owned at the time) Completely gutted it out. Parted out anything worth keeping. I have sold all of the bigger items. The chassis is GONE. Current. -90 FWD turbo eclipse ( only dsm Owned now) Picked up parts to build the motor / car on Friday. Spent all of Friday night organizing my parts and picking up the new parts for the 90 eclipse. Saturday was spent towing DSMs back and forth. We removed the engine / tranny from the car. Sunday at like 2am we drove out to LSE to pick up a good head, ARPS, and gear lube and drop off the engine out of the talon. Thanks alot guys! I did a complete 360 in 2 weeks. I'm still not sure exactly what is going on but I'm HOPING to have the car in running / driving condition by next weekend! So clearly I voted sometime in spring! However it is a busted ass Brok3n dsm so It probably won't run until next spring :P |
