beautiful!!!!!!!!! not as loud as i expected.

Trans is coming back out this weekend... for anyone who cares. If anyone that I've met wants to stop by, no problem, but the wife is insistent on helping. This should be fun.

Good luck with the tranny and the wife. I've got plans this weekend. Hope all goes well.

Just a quick update...
- Trans is back and given a clean bill of health
- Waiting on the drive shaft to be checked for balance/run-out
- Monster Clutch states that their clutch packages don't need any shims for the slave cyl. or flywheel... with the stock bellhousing. The Quicktime that I put in is just a touch longer, so I need a shim. DAMMIT!

It's ok. I'm not important lol

Well I got the drive shaft back today and was told that it vibrated like hell at 60 (whatever the hell 60 is... rpm, mph?), and after greasing the U-joints it went to the max speed, 110 without an issue.  Whatever.  So I put it all back together with a .055" shim behind the slave cyl and drove around the neighborhood... all seems well so far.  My fingers are crossed.

Who-ray for fixed racepars!~

Awesome! Hope everything stays in tact!

Awesome
Then you can drive it to milwaukee and attempt to get mine running

Small update...

I haven't been driving the beater lately due to the fact that I'm tired of getting broiled alive inside the car every time I drive it in the warmer weather.  After a painstaking template construction (lol),  I placed an order at Run Cool Hood Louvers.  I think this might just be what I need, without having to fab a cowl/scoop or buy a shitty fiberglass or CF hood that may or may not look decent.  

Placement isn't set in stone, but I think they'll look great.  The black powdercoat finish should be a nice accennt.

Have you thought about a under tray for the car? A lot of work but my buddy had issues with his dsm getting retarded hot all the time. Tried running a lifted hood, no hood, tried building ducting to force air through the rad and still had problems. Under tray was the last resort and helped a lot but still ran a bit hot.

My problem isn't overheating, it's high under hood temps from idling. I do plan on making some sort of under tray though.

Bigger fan not ugly ass vents. Please for the love of god do not put those vents on. You will regret it later when you wreck that really nice hood and the appearance of your super clean zenki. But it's your car and ill still love the build.

A hood with taller rear cowl will help more than those vents. The Dmax hood will look 100000000000000000000000000000000000009 times better and actually help out with your underhood temps. Plus VIS makes a knock off for much cheaper and fitment isn't bad.


Anything here will work:

The dmax and related knockoffs come with girl pants that don't fit me.

Trust me, no fucks will be given about cutting holes in the hood. I have a spare.
