Proving Grounds in a slightly modified Sonic RS could be a ton of fun....we'll see if I get my car in time and start getting things done...current plans:

Pedders coilovers, lightweight wheels, Seibon CF hood and hatch, TTR engine mount and soon to be released trans mount.

DDM intake, turbo back exhaust (catless dp and mid-pipe, exhaust w/resonator, no muffler), larger injectors with Trifecta E85 tune.


Oh, and side note...the Granite City in Eagan...the last girl I was dating lived in the apartments about a block north of there.

That's just for starters...hopefully there will be a few more upgrades out by next summer (can't imagine that being hard).

Look on craigslist some homo will sell a heater for $100 or less that will cook you out of the garage. If you we're closer I'd finish it for you, it's that simple.

BankerBalt

lol i live in the apartments a block north of there...

BankerBalt

lol to be honest, i love working on these damn cars, i couldn't let someone else have ALL the fun. we have a garage within the apartments here, but my roommate has his srt4 in there for the winter. i can probably kick his car out for a couple days if i buy beer for a week but we'll see.

06_ion2

Yea these cars are very very very simple. Most apartments don't allow working on cars though lol.

Honestly the biggest pain is bolting the exhaust manifold on and then the downpipe. Internal or external dump? I had to unmount my turbo to make the dp fit up there.

BankerBalt

dude i tore the external parts of the engine, put it all back together, bled brakes, did new exhaust, and pulled the engine out of the car in the parking lot here lol. the management here loves me and my roommate though, so that might have something to do with it.

it's an external, zzp mani with vband downpipe

06_ion2

My vband downpipe leaks at the clamp. Super annoying. Well it is warm enough outside so what are you waiting for?

BankerBalt

i don't have ANY parts yet lol

BankerBalt

hey what manifold/intake piping do you have? i want a similar charge pipe track that you have

did you upgrade your hpfp?

WickedWhite

Have you been to pro tech automotive? My white tc is always in the back lot. I work there lol

06_ion2

I forgot who made the intake mani. I like this one though. RDFABS - Stainless aned Performance Specialists

The intake for the turbo was given to me from zzp. The piping kit and fmic was from eBay. Not hard to run and cut them.

BankerBalt

i'm probably gonna get ttr's, that one is expensive lol. so intercooler and charge pipes from ebay haven't given you issues at all?

WickedWhite

I looked at those eBay kits. I'm curious as well on how well the fmic works too

06_ion2

Well it's the cx racing brand for them both. They seen 23psi a lot no problems.
