Got to love that smile... (update) - Team-2G Mitsubishi Forum

Installed the front mount, cleaned and undercoated the wheel wells, installed the tokico illuminas and eibach prokit, cleaned and painted other misc tid bits, and began porting the exhaust manifold today. I'll post pics up of the intercooler tomorrow, kind of in a hurry. It feels good everytime I open up the garage and see it... all shiney. *sigh I am just so excited right now, you don't even know. I'll have all the gaskets next week, as well as the motormounts, so hopefully I'll be firing her up soon. YAY! I'm going to take AE's advice and install the upgrades one at a time, and I can't afford the turbo yet because the Civic blew two tires about a week ago, so that set me back another $400. The cv joint on the front left axle of the Civic is also clicking... damnit. Oh well. I'm hoping to have everything posted in my pic gallery installed by the end of March, being I have spring break then and I'll have a little bit of extra time (and money). Well, cya.

Oh ya, I have a quick question too. I noticed when installing the rear shocks that on the bottom part, one of the sides kind of extends out a little farther... I'll get a picture of that too. I wasn't sure which way that was supposed to face (or if it even matters). So pres if you read this, I'm sure you know :).

Edit: Well this was going to originally be about my intercooler... kind of got off topic, sorry guys. You can move if necessary.

Was going to finish it today... but now it's raining. It will be my avatar when I get the bumper on.

Oh and I got the 6bolt from Modern Automotive Performance, (www.maperformance.com).

Not sure if I quite understand steve, but a lot of dsm's tend to hang a little lower on the left for some reason (specifically the rear)

Glad to see things are further coming together.

It's raining? So what you have a garage. If i had a garage, the talon would be fixxored :(

Not enough room in the front. And I'm not really in any hurry, yet.

Sorry about the picture quality, I'll get some better pictures soon, but it's freezing balls outside.

If I had a garage at home... my car wouldn't get cat prints on it, bee so dusty within 30 minutes of a wash that I cna't wax it without a rewash, and I wouldn't freeze to death working on cars... I hate ya.

I kind of took over my moms garage, and like I said earlier there really isn't enough room to work in there with the garage door closed so it pretty much is worthless other than the flat ground.

But thanks for all the replies! I have to say it feels good to make progress, keeps me motivated. I'm working on a kick ass compilation vid too. :)

Looks good. That isn't really the "smile" though. 2gb is more of "I'm GONNA FUKIN EAT YA". 2ga=smiley.

I feel your pain ae... The worst is going to wax my car and halfway through you start seeing all sorts of pollen and **** :( Not to mention the fact that if it is too hot outside or starts raining or basically any weather condition, you are screwed.

Ugh, last year there was this diseased cat that was all mangy and **** and since I got home at 3:00a lily's hood was the warmest place around. I would go out in the morning and see like nasty **** on my hood like dead fleas and white **** and bleh. Good thing that cat died I think (I swear I didn't do it, I heart cats).

President95 · 01-27-2007, 08:59 PM

I thought the 2gb was more of a big mouth bass type. I guess if youre a little fish, youre screwed though.

Cat prints make me cringe. Badly. You cant scare them off, or their claws dominate your paint as they sprint off. And if they slip getting on, youre screwed there too. I like cats as long as they dont get near my car. Mine never messed with my car. He still lives with the parents.

Muscles..
