[Mrdmdstar]

Are you the same Milo that is over at COSR? Someone told me a Milo over there, wanted to run me with his S2K.... if thats you, Im down.

I cant look at that thread, because the dipshit admin wants a donation (mandatory...hahah doesnt sound like a donation to me if its mandatory) of $12 to use the boards.

If youre the same guy, lets run em... although I asked for the car to be low 14's, high 13's...... if your really that fast, cool, otherwise its not going to be worth both our times, I want a car thats atleast that fast to judge how well my car is tuned, as I should be at least that fast.... but its up to you.

Lemme know.

[DnVr]

hey whats up Im not milo but Im up for a friendly run!
I have a dsm that runs 14.1
Im in the sw denver area.
Ryan

[Mrdmdstar]

That'll work perfectly.... she pulls like a banshee now, and I just wanna see how fast of a car I can keep up with... reason I wont do it at bandi, is, shes still leaking tranny fluid, and I dont think bandi would like that very much.... :)

Im in Aurora, just north of BAFB.

[IntenseSupra]

Where's Otis?

[DnVr]

Cool, I just checked out your page. I see you should solidly kick my ass, thats ok Im still down for a run!
how much boost are you running? I see you have 550's and a fuel pump.

[DnVr]

when do you want to go for a run?
where at?

[Mrdmdstar]

Bah, I dunno about solidly..... it should be good tho.

Im only running 15psi, ill up it some once I get the DP and TP on (hopefully in a few weeks), but for now shes happy, and pulls LOADS better with no knock... I was maxin my stockers at 15psi :( WEAK!

If I do whoop you good, then Ill have to call out for some mid 13 cars...... but I dont think Im there yet.... maybe once I get full exhaust and can turn it up to 20psi..... but who knows.

[DnVr]

I wish I had no knock:(

[DnVr]

Im off work here in about 10 minutes.
so we'll have to figure out where to meet up or we can do it another day!;RoCkOn;

[V8SpankR]

I'm up for a run. :)

[Mrdmdstar]

Sorry, my work computer decided to up and reboot right after my last post yesterday...and then it was time for me to leave anyway, then went straight to bandi with a buddy.

Lets set something up in the next day or 2, Im making a call to someone about fixing my tranny tonight, so depending on what he says, that may be coming out this weekend, so the next 2 days would be perfect.

I have a great spot out by my house, where I did my datalogging the other day, we could try that, I dont want to go to far, as once the tranny fluid warms up, its starts leakin pretty good.

If 1 or both of you wanna come out, that works for me.

I know I gotta be close to 13's now.... when I was at bandi last night, I saw the WRX I pretty much raped BEFORE I tuned, and he ran 15 flat at 92... my last run at bandi was a 14.9 at 89 and that was over a year ago... the car has come along quite well since then, and when I raced this guy I didnt even launch, let him get half a car on me, then punched it, and by 75, I was just over 2 cars ahead...

PM me if you guys want, with a night that works, preferably before Sunday, and Ill get you my details and directions.

[DnVr]

I get off work at 430, I work off havana and 70, what area do you work in? maybe Ill catch you on my way home tonight.:Beer:

[Mrdmdstar]

Im not far from Colfax and Airport, I could meet you at the big Diamond Shamrock there on the corner......

lots of traffic at that time tho, atleast out where Ill want to run, but we could always do a couple of slow rolling pulls, after all its just for comparison.

[DragIIISi]

My roommate has a turbo integra. His best up to date is a 14.2. We're off of Tower and Hampden. If you want to run em let me know.

thats a bit to far out of the way, what are you doing tomorrow night? I was going to say you should come hang out with us, talk shop, blaze it up and what not tomorrow night.

I would, but Id rather not drive the car all over gods green acre, somewhere within 5 miles of me, cool, or come to my area, cool... but like I said, I start leakin pretty bad after the fluids warmed up, and Id rather not leak more then I have to, Ive filled it up twice now (thought I had the leak fixed both times), and this shit isnt exactly cheap to keep refilling.

Ive only had the car out of the garage 3 times in the last 2+ months, 1 to see if my last attempt at the leak was a success.... nope, 2 to make sure the 550's didnt leak after I installed them, and 3 to tune the 550's.

understandable, try giving Shawn at acs a call. he could probably fix that leak for you. his # is 303 789 2219. He doesnt charge alot , does a good job and doesnt bullshit around.

Can he fix a hairline crack in the bell housing??? Its not a simple seal fix.... i did that twice already.....

And what is ACS? The last person I trust with a part from my car is someone who doesnt specialize in DSM's.... hence I do 90% of the worky myself, and the guy im calling tonight does DSM tranny rebuilds in his spare time.

Shawn is a mitsu specialist.
He did my motor swap and everything else I couldnt do myself.

I've been going to them for over 3 years now and have been sponsored by them the last two.
Carl and Shawn have been working on DSMs since their inception and once they fix something it stays fixed. (unless you thrash on it too hard ;))

I do most of the bolt on work on my car but I leave tranny/clutch fixits to them. They've rebuilt my tranny and done my last two clutches and it shifts better than it did ever when it was stock.

[Mrdmdstar]

Sounds good, anytime better to call them then others? And what are your names so I can say who reffered me.

My name is Ryan, V8spankr is Paul.
Its called acs mitsubishi pro's. call them anytime

[Mrdmdstar]

sweet, thx

Ill give them a buzz at lunch.

[DnVr]

mrdmdstar, question? did you do your fp upgrade and 550's at the same time or did you do the fuel pump a prior time?
Im just wondering because Im going to buy a fuel pump in attempt to get rid of some of my knock. I dont have the cash for injectors yet. I think 2g maf will come before injectors.

I did the pump way before the injectors, hoping that would cure my lean problem.... it did to an extent.... but i was still getting pretty bad knock on colder days, reason was, I was outflowing the stock injectors.... this was only on 15psi too, I turned it down to 13 on colder days (if I drove the car) and left it at 15psi on warmer ones (didnt lean out as much with hotter muggier air).

Doing them at the same time would be the best IMO, I didnt have the money to do both at the same time tho, so I did pump first, then injectors.

[V8SpankR]

I've logged my 1/4 mile runs and have had only 2-4 counts of knock in 3rd gear and 19-22 degrees of advance timing and I'm running 16psi on the stock fuel system. I know I'm pushing it and have all the parts to do my fuel pump and re-wire. I am real lazy and keep procrastinating on doing it but I'm getting closer.

I hope to have my 550s by next month,$$$ been a little tight.

[Milo]

Yeah sure, I still wanna run. I was at Bandi on Wed. and ran a 14.3 @ 96, 14.4 @ 98 & a 14.3 at 100. I should be 14 flat but I kept hitting the nitrous too late and my car bogged a little. I just got the nitrous last week so I'm still figuring out the launches.

DNVR: Does your car have the DSM across the windshield? If so, I live by you. I have the silver S2000. You live at the apartments right by the golf course right?

[Mrdmdstar]

Milo, ok, my car is still at ACS, and so far they havent been able to fix my leak.... I got this bad feeling Im going to be stuck with a huge bill and a STILL leaking tranny....

If thats they case, im going to drive it straight to bandi, run it dry, then push it into my street, strap some C4 to it, and blow the fuckin thing up, Ive lost faith in all mechanics if I get some stupid fucking bullshit "Sorry, we dont know, its uhh...your tranny" story.....

NO SHIT FUCKWEEDS, FIX IT!!!

[DnVr]

from my experiences with acs, I dont think they would give it back to you unfixed.

[Mrdmdstar]

Well they havent yet... but when i talked to carl yesterday, he pretty much hinted that hes running out of options.... Ive been impressed with the service aspect, carl has kept me updated and told me what he wants to do/ask permission to do it, so Ive been happy there.....

On the other hand, I have no idea how much labor hes got in it right now, and the LAST thing I want, is $500 worth of labor later, to be told "Sorry, I tried everything, I dont know why its leaking.... that will be $500, thank you drive thru".

I still got my fingers crossed, but at the same time, Im not holding my breath..... I told him, he came highly recommended, so Im hoping Im being taken care of......

[DnVr]

I hope its fixable, they have always done a good job on my car but some parts just cant be fixed sometimes.
work with them, give him a call and ask where your at and what the options are.

[Mrdmdstar]

Just got off the phone with Carl... he says they got it fixed. Im still skeptical as his reason didnt make sense to me, but I really dont care as long as it doesnt leak...... I was dreading to ask him what the final bill came to, as they have had it since Thursday of last week.....

$107.63, Ill be more satisfied if I can drive it home, park it and NOT find a puddle under it the next morning.... THEN ill be happy and excited, but for now, im atleast relieved....

[DnVr]

107$ is what the final cost was?
thats cheap if you ask me!

[Mrdmdstar]

Yes, im pleasantly surprised with the bill.... I was figuring more like $300-$500 range...... :)

Now ill be even more estatic like I said...if I can get it home tonight, and NOT find a huge puddle in the morning...

[DnVr]

yeaah Im blown away, I thought it would be far more than 100 bucks..:Beer:

[DnVr]

hey, now we can do a run or 2!
now that my fuel cut and crap is gone I should be knocking on 13s door.

Im pretty sure im close to there as well..... should be fun, I want to be positive its not leaking first, but yah, ill be up for that, and Milo :)

Actually...now that I see DNVR posted his car as burgundy, this makes sense.... my brother has a burgundy 91 GSX with DSM Racing across the windshield, and he lives in some apts right next to a par 3 golf course, I think its Greenview or something (in Aurora)....

Im sure hell run ya sometime, his best is a 14.8 but I know his car is faster then that, would be a good race if your in the low 14's.

I live about 5 minutes from there.... so least we wont have to go far if thats where your at.....

[DnVr]

did you pick your car up already?
if not we should meet up for a run and talk shop.
I dont live to far from acs.

[Mrdmdstar]

yah, i went there right after work, carl said I just missed Ryan I guess, drove it home, not leaking yet.... well see how it holds up for a couple of days.... im still leary :)

[Milo]

Yup, Greensview. Whenever you want to meet up, let me know.

[V8SpankR]

I hope ACS got it fixed,they've had a few issues on my car that got past them the first time but eventually they smoked out the problem and fixed it.

[Mrdmdstar]

Gimmie a couple days, im re-tuning tomorrow night, ground my O2 gauge to the wrong AFC ground and it was screwing up my tuning, so when I disconnected it, it went WAY rich, so now I gotta re-tune tomorrow night.

I talked to my brother, he thinks hes seen your car, were you the one that revved on him at a light then chickened out with your girlfriend in the car? Hes seen a couple, but the one revved at him, then chickened out... hahahahaha.... Im faster then he is, you sure you still wanna run? :)

[DnVr]

Yeah they said you were losing gear oil from somewhere.
what did you think of that blue gsx?
that thing is freakin wierd gives first gens a bad rep, but from what I hear its perty fast when its working.

[Milo]

If I ever rev on someone, I will not chicken out. I'm not scared to race anyone. I may lose, but that's life. Tell him to "bring it." Does he know what color it was? Next time I see him, I'll stop and say hi.

There's this other guy at Greensview that had a Porsche 944 that I was dying to race...he never would. The only time my car had a chance to race him was when he rev'd on my wife when I wasn't in the car.:rolleyes:

Ok... well he said hed seen a couple, but wasnt sure if they were both the same car or not, evidently not... he did say that 1 with a gauge that looked to be close to or up by the visor was gawking at him when he drove in one night, the guy was on his cell, maybe that was you then. I told him to watch for yah :)

No leaks yet... If I can get thru the weekend Ill feel satisfied, and the beatings will begin :)

[V8SpankR]

I ran 13.7s in 86 degree temp with minimal knock,in the evening I only bettered it by a tenth and a half.
