Sobo's 2011 - Why did I buy a DSM!? build thread.

i didn’t know these parts were so easily interchangeable. how much does an evo 8 ecu run for?

nice build!

i kinda wanna buy this when its done…

Yea its a cool little build. Cars in pretty good shape also.

Final few steps not that anyone is even following this thread because I picked at this project so slowly. Pulled the car out of the garage for the first time in months. Made me feel a lot better.


Threw the interior together… Unfortunately the previous owner painted the door skin and various other pieces of the car bright ricer blue so I had to spray them something less gay. So portions of the interior are black now but I’m sort of happy with the outcome. I also scraped off the lame purple tints (not pictured)






Today I sawz-alled the front bumper off (Long story… but no damage done just seized screw pwnage.) Got the OEM headlights installed. (Not pictured)

Unfortunately for the price I’m letting this go for I’m not going to purchase OEM tail lights, coilovers, put on the 16g or install various other goodies on the car.

I should be ready to fire it up in the next couple of days…

:tup:

already sold?

at least looks presentable now :tup:

+1

Does it run 10’s yet?

Well, sort of. I’m having huge dilemma over this. One of my buddies wanted the car way before it was done and I told him I’d hook him up for 2750. However, now that it’s more or less done I realize it’s worth a lot more than that. So now I either have to be an asshole friend and tell him to take a hike or be an idiot and not make an extra $1000. OR have a car to drive.

I have 5 cars, none run as of right now. Priorities bro, priorities. Time to liquidate and rebuild.

Oh you were making comments on WNY F-body about having a fast DSM…

For reference

:slight_smile:

Sure man whatever helps you sleep at night. If I wanted to run fast times i’d do it. I have nothing to prove. The car as it sits assembled cost me a fraction of original budget that you quoted.

Enjoy your cool fbody. You act like I’m some ricer or something? I owned 2 ls1 fbodies before, and I prefer other cars over them. Sorry.

There I found some more and for reference
