My Dirt Track 1G DSM Build!
My Dirt Track 1G DSM Build!
Some friends and I are putting together a 1G DSM to race out at Sycamore Speedway on their dirt oval track. I will be racing in the Compact Class. The rules are pretty simple..
-No Turbos
-2WD
-Stock Motor
-All windows but windshield must be removed
-All exterior lights must be removed
-Roll Bars HIGHLY Recommended (Thanks Greg for the install!)
I found the perfect car, its a 92 Eagle Talon Non-Turbo with a 4G63, no ABS, and no sunroof.
Planned work:
-8 point roll bar
-Oil pressure and water temp warning lights
-Power seat belt removal
-Audio removal
-Polyurethane motor mounts
-Side exit exhaust near right rear tire
-Big front and rear tow hooks
-Hood pins
-Basic maintenance
1st race day is April 28th. I will try to post up pictures as I go along.
Interior removal beginning.
At the shop getting ready for the 8 point roll bar install.
Hood pins installed and battle damage touched up.
Main hoop in!
Greg, a fabricator from AMS installing the rear bars.
Simple oil pressure and water temperature warning lights.
UPDATE 1, 3-27-12
We finished the roll bar and painted it. I had to replace the clutch master cylinder, change the trans fluid, and replace some exhaust gaskets. Tomorrow I am going to put in some more work.
Passenger door bar in place.
Driver door bar.
My custom hatch trim to cover where the window trim previously was
Greg doing work.
Roll bar painted. Interior still not in yet though.

Sycamore racing is a great time, we usually go on Friday nights whenever we go. We were actually thinking of building a compact as well, either a Civic or Neon. Good luck out there I'll keep an eye out for you 
Well this weekend was supposed to be the first race but due to the threat of rain they moved it to next Saturday night, May 5th. But the car has came along nicely. I even took the car to practice at the track and it seemed to handle it just fine. On to more pictures!
For the exhaust we went simple, we cut off the muffler and installed a turn down, then we put in an OEM EVO 10 resonator to quiet it down a bit. It sounds awesome.
I then started clearancing and re-installing the interior.
We then stickered it up!
At the track for practice.
