Guess who is in the December 2001issue of SCC!!!!!

our very own george... yea he has a write up of how to swap a sr20det in his g20... go get it... nice job george!!

Cool, I can't wait to read that article. I have been following his progress and had a few e-mail conversations with him about the project.

Knowing George it will be full of good writing and great pictures.

Damn, I just know its going to make me want to turbo my G20 again!

Thanks a bunch guys. I really appreciate the kind words.

I'm sorry for so long I kept telling y'all I would have a nice write-up with photos and kept putting you off. I hope it was worth the wait. :)

BTW, ViEt-G20, you should plan on coming to the 4th Annual Day After Thanksgiving Geekout. :)

George is a pimp.

Congradulations George...i will definitely pick up an issue this weekend...

good job george, have you ever considered doing a bunch a write ups on the DE and DET's (especially g20's lol) for SCC?? cause i still see too many damn hondas :devil:

Hell, I can't wait anymore, I'm going down to the magazine shop to buy it.

Wahh, I think you'll have to wait. I was in Chapters yesterday and the November issue was still there. Georges article is in the December issue. BTW, good job George..give you a case of Shiner Bock and you'll do anything. ;)

Anyway you'll probably have to wait till the 29th till it hits the shelves. Subscribies might get it sooner. :(

good job George! two big thumbs up for ya :flash:

im not sure if i can make it... but where do u live?... if thats the where the geekout is. let me know....

That's awsome George I will definatley pick up a mag!:D

p10det- good job! looking forward to hitting borders soon. :D

luke- your next!!! :p

CONGRATS GEO! let's start the counter... this makes two turbocharged G20's in SCC, however, it's the first one that is privately owned, the other was that JWT special, (anyone know what happened with that vehicle?)

Would this be the December issue ??

B&N still has their November SCC out which has no mention of Geo's car...

Yeah it's December issue. The November issue should be on teh racks till the 29th I think. I'll be buying a copy a usual. :lol2:

Since it appears that most all of us are not subscribers, but buy it every month anyway. How about a group deal on subscriptions? :D I have over 3 years of SCC's on my bookshelf here (my roommate was in awe when i unpacked them) haha. Man, to think how much i would have saved with a subscription for the past 3 years.. oh well. Id still pay the extra money without even thinking about it as I think that magazine is the best written car mag out there right now, Kojima's articles are the great!

A subscription would be great but as a Canadian subscriber I find first of all I don't actually save very much money and secondly the delivery is a little flaky. Sometimes the mag will arrive upto a week after they hit the stands. If I was living in the US I probably would subscribe but the cost savings to me as a Canadain isn't worth while. :(

G-Forces....I went to chapters today the december issue is on the rack. GOOD JOB GEORGE WAY TO REPRESENT THE G

by the way g-forces were you at Tim Hortons tonight I saw a black g driving out when I drove in. I saw like 5 G20s tonight I don't know why

Nope wasn't me. I was home all last nite.

I was at a Tim Horton last night ...markham and Finch Area ..maybe it was me ..

I think he mean the Tim Ho's in Wopbridge, around where I used to live.

I think I got that issue. I've got a subscription and got one in the mail the other day. I haven't read it yet, though. Is that the one that says something about G-something or another on the front??:confused:

If it is, then that's the one I have. I'm at work, but I think I'll read that one tonight. Good going, George!!!!

has anyone got a link to SCC site maybe us UK folks can get subscription over here. It sound like a good read.

Sport Compact Car... its a magazine :D

Got my copy today, nice job. Makes me want to get a DET. How does it spool with the JWT flywheel? Is it nice?

The flywheel, pulleys, Extrude Hone, and Swain coatings really work well. Off boost the car feels very much like a NA engine (where usually on a DET it feels a bit sluggish off-boost). It spools early and smoothly. You cannot really feel the boost come on, it's that smooth. When you hit about 3k rpm, it really takes off, but you can definitely feel the boost lower. You just cannot feel when it starts building. I do not have a boost gauge (running stock boost) so I don't even know where it starts building, but it's pretty low.

The mods I did are not inexpensive. A bigger turbo will make more power for sure. But, what I did makes the car much smoother and easier to drive.

Hey, now that I think I'm a writer, I have a license to kill the English language. :right:

Geo- I havn't been able to get my hands on a copy of the SCC yet (Borders is slow on getting their stuff in this month i guess). Who wrote the article?

Thanks so much. It's a labor of love for sure. It's certainly not for everyone since it takes so much longer to complete a project when you have to not only stop to shoot photos, but to get publication quality photos. I have more than half my time invested in photography.

I'm glad you liked it. Hopefully I can contribute more in the future.

Sounds like a great article. Unfortunately its not available in NZ. :( This might be a bit of a long shot, but is anyone willing to scan the article for all of us non USions! (Fancy word for Americans - just made it up, quite impressed actually!). Yeh, so anyone keen. It would be greatly appreciated!:D

Yeah you're not kidding. I start a project with all intentions of documenting my installations. However I don't really know what I'm doing so I just go to it and forget about the pics after about the first 10 mins. :)

Actually, i guess it should be USians - ahh thats better! :flash:

So - anyone keen to scan the article. Not sure what would be in it for you. Maybe, the eternal joy of knowing that you have pleased all those "non- USians" who desparately want to read the Georges inspirational piece magazine quality documentation! (Took me a while to come up with that!):cool: Please!

Damn never noticed. It doesn't bug me as much as people saying the G20 is a reskined Sentra. :rolleyes:

You should have come to the SE-R National Convention this year in DC. I was there. :D

unfortunately i couldn't make it to that one.. but i definitely plan on going to next year's! hopefully a lot of the other guys on here will do the same too. :cool:

I'll be at next year's convention as well. I don't know if I will be driving my car out or not. Kerry and I are trying to go to Australia next year on our frequent flyer miles while the redemption miles are reduced (by a full 25%). If that happens we won't have enough vacation time to drive out.
