Re: My new best AND with a stock block
sharp car, I ran a dsm at the track a few weeks back, his dipstick popped out at half track and started spewing oil all over the exhaust mani, man that thing was smoking like a bitch I thought he chowed some parts up for sure. nothing that a zip tie didnt fix.

Re: My new best AND with a stock block
Oh you guys R funny 
Thanks
1st off most DSM are old and like any old car they needz somez lovin and care'N. 2ndly I've had alot to do it even though I've only been into DSMs a little over a year. I learn fast, but I owe alot to Andre at PinaMotorsports because he's helped me so much and I wouldnt be where I am so quicky if it wasnt for him ...thats why I let it be known that its his work. I started out knowing nothing about DSMs OR knowing a single person with a DSM. So at 1st I paid for work done to the car. I use to drag race alot, but didnt for 2 years and now I'm back
(it feels so damn good too) DSMs are what I chose to build because its a easy to work on project car. I've learned alot about them real fast. I'm serious enough about my racing and my car that the shop I used to pay to do my work (Pina MotorSports) now sponsors the car. I get to use the shop to do whatever, and if I need help the car gets that too. It's a join effort. I didnt start out building the car, but since then I've damn near done and re-done everything there is to do including tons of tuning. I'm sure you guys know that a project car is never a fix and forget thing ...its always being worked on, and re-worked on
The only thing that I havent personally touched is the bottom end of the motor, the radiator/fans, and the rear end pumpkin, because non of that stuff has needed touching yet.
I guess I posted because mainly I'm just still excited about what these stock blocks can take. I come form a N/A V8 background and this stuff puts a smile on my face.
oh and DSM > Honda

Re: My new best AND with a stock block
Another main goal was to make it CLEAN! I want like old school muscel car clean where you dont see anything but motor. I know I'll never get that but I'll keep trying. When I pull the motor this winter I'll put extension on fues boxes and harnesses and hide them ...heres what it looks like so far though.
