1g DSM

Its fun watching this come together.

Well I payed off paypal so hopefully parts will be coming in again... I had about $1000 racked up so I've been paying that off for awhile. I did get one part recently though, and I'm stoked to get it on the car, but I was waiting on the bumper!

Sorry in advance for the iPotato quality



Not my car but what it will look like...

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Well looks like the cover won't need to be cut up!! But I'll definitely be cutting off most of the support, as of now I would like to use the outsides(Cutting the middle section) for it's stable while I'm driving.
It's far from perfect, but damn does it feel good to see the exterior start to come together!

Well aluminum seats are installed(everything but 3 bolts that just hold the seat to the bracket)! Took awhile and a lot of measuring but it's done! Passenger side should be easier now that I have the measuring done(if it's symmetrical...)!!!



Please ignore the blue door trim, only blue panel left from the guy who was starting to rice the car :rice:

 

[Mook]

Do you plan on gutting the entire interior or you just running the seats?

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Interior is currently under question, as I am trying to keep it a street car(Just a really rowdy one)... Also a lot of classes for street cars would require most interior. Overall trying to keep the car to KOTS Junior Specs(since I feel it's a fairly decent guideline of what a streetcar is) wouldn't mind running that class sometime, but I would most likely get murdered first round...

Well passenger seat is all in except one bolt, still need to do three on the drivers just to hold the seat to the bracket!!! Would have liked to finish, but it gets dark early now, and working in a driveway with a flashlight get old. No photos of the seats in because the camera died but here's some of the mounting hardware I used, eventually it will be welded but as of now money is too tight, and I have no access to a welder.

Well just bought a COP setup! Some of you may remember the car it was off of since it ran KOTS Gangsta class...

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Well just purchased a 10 point roll cage, so I'll be picking that up sometime next week!

Cop setup? I feel like I should know what this is...

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] Coil on plug, eliminates sparkplug wires, and gives me ignition control over each cylinder

 

[Mook]

Ahh, ya ya. I just work up and that didn't click

 

[Gamble]

I make the COP plates. If you guys ever wanted to source your own parts and wiring

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

[MENTION=12057]Gamble[/MENTION] I would have contacted you, but I'm picking up any parts I can used to save the most money I can.

 

[Gamble]

No worries dude. if you need parts let me know. I get great deals on gsc, mishimoto and i make parts on the cnc plasma and catch cans and things like that.
i'm looking to make an aluminum coolant overflow for the 1g, but need a car to look at first and test fit on

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

[MENTION=12057]Gamble[/MENTION] I would offer but I still need A/T motor/trans mounts before I can put in the engine. Can you weld AN fittings on the valve cover? Might be interested, but it'll be awhile before I get to that point.(PM me)

Anyone know a good place to get a cage welded?

 

[Gamble]

I can do AN fittings. I don't like doing it but I can do it

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Well here's an iPotato photo of the 10pt DOM cage I bought! Really need to find a place to weld it in...

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Also another iPotato photo except of the COP setup!!

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

Was messing around with the cage a little bit, looks like it should be a nice fit! Still need to find a place to weld it, as the only place that would give me a quote is more than I believe it should cost.

 

[Mook]

Looks good! What price were you quoted?

 

[Lights Out Chitown]

[MENTION=5]Mook[/MENTION] around 1600(just reread the quote it was 1500 at the low end possibly more depending on difficulty of installation), I would be willing to pull any interior necessary prior to delivering the car. It's not an ebay kit, it's custom made by Rhodes Race Cars. Maybe it's not that high of a price, but seems like a lot to do a few welds. I know quality is everything but I mean they are only paying for the wire and employee, the kit is complete floor plates and all...
