That's the only thing I hate about modding cars. No matter how much money you put into mods it doesnt do too much for the cars value. You could probably let it go for $8k if you find the right person. Too put it back to stock would mean a bit of work and to sell the parts seperately would just mean time. I'd keep it. Mostly as a daily until the subie is set up. And after that I would keep it if something happens and you dont have the money to fix the subie at the time. Im not too sure if you have another dd.

 

idk what im gonna do with the lancer. right now its a pos, but still gotta fix it just waiting on the clutch master now....


as for the soob...

engine is back in and all i need to do is to put back in the alternator, run my belts, battery , intake and ic, and then to throw some coolant into it and it will be ready to go! then break in and then to romp on it to see if the factory bcs is acutally working. "hopefully" it isnt so then that gives me reason to go to the grimmspeed 3-port! mmmm better boost......


josh

 

the soob...it runs!!!!!

just need a little more coolnat in it and for the ecu to relearn itself. fix my exhaust leak and adjust the clutch a bit and then its 1000 miles of break in and then tuning time!

next...
the lancer and its clutch problems...urgh...not looking forward to that...


josh

 

awesome about the soob, what are you doing about the lancer?

 

fixing it then idk. everyone i know wants me to sell it. idk its a nice car but it aint awd or sposed to be turboed....

but thank god the soob is done!

 

Thats what makes it unique man. Not many lancers can whup ya lol

 

well this is true and i get a lot of ppl asking me questions and i can hang with the evos till bout 80 or so then they just pull. but now that i got the rex done and just waiting on getting the clutch broken in then ill be able to see what it can really do, still thinking that my factory bcs is bad tho...


josh

 

well sad day for me as i started to tear down the lancer to sell. it was a good car but i need to move on to my other.

check my sig for the for sales here in the next few days.....


josh

 

You know, I feel your pain and all, but it's for the best. Same as when you move out of that cheap apartment, where you grew up so much, and into the house you've dreamed of. It's sad...but also very sweet.....ie, the subaru.....is very....very sweet.

 

links are up and are in my sig. be sure to check back as for i still have more stuff to get rid of....

still working on getting stuff off. man this is a ot harder than it sounds. not only was it a turbo car but it was a movie theater on wheels, so i have to un-wire my entire stereo system as well...


josh

 

well passengert side is almost done. pretty much all my electronics are out xcept for an amp and some speakers tho.

gonna order a 15psi spring for the w/g and then a factory block off for the soob to up the boost and switch to the greddy for my boost control.

i got a lot of parts listed already so be sure to check the links in my sig as i will be updating them and im starting to sell parts.


josh

 

so i have come to realize that everyone is out to screw you one way or another and im flippin tred of it. for all you people that want a deposit to meet someone with the intentions of giving back the money after meeting with their managers you can all screw off...


/rant for the hour...


josh

 

oooo big wastegate spring, big wastegate spring....

 

well the lancer is almost back to stock. snapped the handle off the oil dipstick in the tube, then snapped the tube off the block trying to get the dipstick out. got a small oil leak in my new gasket i made on the oil pan that needs fixing. just now gotta finish the clutch master still and get hte rad fans back in and battery and intake and to bolt back down the driver front seat and to flash the ecu back to factory. then its done. i still hate to see it go but, working on pushing the soob to about 325 with my w/g and greddy b/c and then to give it a tune....



josh

 

finally almost done......

flashed the ecu back today and got the radiatr fans back in. clutch master is in and bled. has an intake on it but im gonna change it more back to stock, just need to get to my parents house and use my welder to make a new bracket for the battery then the factory battery tray and intake can go back in as well.

will fire back up hopefully tomorrow, after now i gotta wait for the oil pan gasket to re-dry and hopefully this time it wont have a pinhole leak in the thing!

then its just a matter of putting the dash back together and give it a bath.....



on a side note....i could have had an evo for 5k! just needed a clutch......unfortunately i didnt have the money and i dont need another loan.....i just got my last one paid off....
