I finally cleaned the engine bay of my car, and did a mini photo shoot. lemme know what you think of the car, engine bay and/or photographic skills lol. sorry to anyone who saw this at HT...but hey at least these pics are bigger and more detailed :)

And here's my roomate Ryan's 95 Talon TSi FWD. We just got done putting a new trans and clutch w/ lightened flywheel in it. He cleaned most of my engine bay for me....he kinda owed me for the work that i did on his car. FYI DSMs suck DICK to work on :banghead:

Yes he's well aware that his car needs to be dropped and needs rims. Mid april come the TEIN SS and 18" Tenzo R Apex 5s.

well there ya go.....hopefully all the pics work. :smokin:

Very sweet, as always!

BTW... what's so difficult about working on the DSM's? I only ask because my girl wants one, and I want to know what I'd be getting myself into.

cars looking pretty damn clean.

thanks man :) When doing the clutch i just ran into a whole bunch of very "un-mechanic friendly" things that the mitsubishi/chrysler designers did. The retarded ass center crossmember being one. Also the lower ball joint setup being another. I also found it retarded that they use 14mm bolts for trans bolts and the front and rear "roll stoppers". Also, would it kill mitsubishi to have a welded on nut and a bolt for motor/trans mounts??? fucken annoying having a separate nut and bolt for each.....besides the side motor mount...which you cant even see the hole that you're threading it into unless you wedge your head up into the wheel well lol

cars looking pretty damn clean.
thanx mang :)

sweet as hell! great pics your car is sweet!

sweet as hell! great pics your car is sweet!

Dang man, your ride is TIDY!!! Engine looks hella pimp too, gotta love the good ol b18c's man, the bright ass red stickin outta there, whew!!!Looks great bro...

thanx mang :) Dont like the place mounts, eh? I like them because they position the motor in pretty much true SiR position, and allow for maximium ground clearance. Poly mounts do transfer an assload of engine vibration into the interior of EDs tho :( ahh well, well worth the trade of imho. Anyone notice how much i had to cut the bottom of the hood to get the b18c to clear lol I dont have any track times yet. This motor was off an Automatic Integra Si VTEC. Hence, it has shitty cams, and possibly shitty valve springs as well. I refuse to run it with these, as i know i'll be disappointed. I'll be getting Comp 57200 stage II cams this summer (they threw down 19whp on an internally stock 10.0:1 compression USDM B18C1). I have 10.6:1 compression, a skunk2 intake manifold, skunk2 cam gears, and a chipped ecu & exhaust...so i expect even better gains. Once i get those in & dyno tuned...and get some avs es100s for the front...then i'll go to the tack and hit some 13s (hopefully lol) :biggrin:

hey amy - damn the bumblebee lol. I think the shell of it got hauled away to the junk yard :rofl: The dude that bought it off of me for $300 (sucker...mwahahaha) just let it sit it in his garage, and sold random tiny parts off of it. He gave up on it, needless to say.

Will do on sending the pics your way... this for the members section of 4thgenerationcivic.com? or somethin else?

Simple Green and Armor all for the engine bay. Just normal car wash for the exterior. wish it looked as good in person as it does in the pics. My roof needs to get painted asap. :(

Thanx mang - It hauls a pretty fair amount of ass. Cams need to be changed...and my grinding Y1 doesn't help matters :( but otherwise , happy w/ da performance of her.
