New Project..
Looking forward to some night shots of the "light show" that monster will make!!!
The anticipation is killing me, frankly. This is the culmination of over five years of planning, and a year of work on this chassis.
This is the very rough template of the bezel I have in mind
This bezel will be black will silver rivets/bolts
It's being installed in a way that I can put a cap on the big hole for when it's running the "street" exhaust.
The two wastegate tubes are permanently through the hood though. No room to route them elsewhere lol

A few final touches required:
Let me know what you think..

Yup:
Haven't cleaned up all the rough edges yet.
And even after paint, etc. I still have to make a provision for attaching the block-off cap over where the big pipe goes, for when I have the not so popular "street exhaust" lol
It's a really, really tough spot to work with. Multiple contours are involved with the famous "hump" in the DSM hood to clear the cam gears.

As a teaser - This is approximately what it will sound like at idle.
That is John Wigger's 1100awhp GT4202R-powered Standing Mile car... basically same size turbo on the same motor/head and comparable cams.

I actually picked the car up 3 weeks ago and been so busy I never posted it up here...
Body is mint, 2 owners for 20 years. Garage kept.
The fate of my other DSM, as well as the Fit, is now up in the air as I am trying to decide on going all out on all 3 over a longer stretch of time or gradually selling stuff to fund the multiple projects I have going on at the moment. :D
What's already been done to the new ride with parts that came with and others I had laying around:
-Built Transmission/Drivetrain:
Double Synchro 1-4th
Singe Synchro 25% Taller 5th gear
Double Pin Shift Rails
Chromoly Shift forks/sliders
Cryo'd Gear Set
Cryo'd Input Shaft
Quaife LSD
Drive Shaft Shop CV Shafts
3200lb ACT Pressure Plate
9lb ACT Chromoly Flywheel
Sprung 6-puck "Feramic" Disc
SS Clutch Lines
Magnus Clutchfork
OE Throwout Bearing
26" Slicks
Manual Steering Rack Conversion
-Engine:
ARP Head Studs
ARP Rod Bolts
ARP Main Studs
Kiggly Main Girdle
Kiggly HLA
Kiggly Valve springs
Ferrea Guides/Valves
Fel-Pro MLS Headgasket
Cams 288*/ .443" Lift
Balance Shafts Eliminated
Mahle Pistons 9.0:1CR
Manley I-Beams 150mm
ACL Tri-Metal 3/4 Grooved Rod & Main Bearings
Snow Performance Progressive Methanol Injection
-Exhaust:
Dumped 38mm Wastegate
Custom 3" Downpipe & Turbo Back with Flowmaster muffler for street
3.5" Shorty Downpipe for the track
-Fuel:
VR4 Denso Pump In-Tank
Bosch 044 In-Line
Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator
-8AN Line Tank to Rail
-6AN Line Rail to Regulator, Regulator to Tank
-Turbo:
Borg Warner S200SX (59-74) with Bullseye Power .70AR T3 Twinscroll Turbine housing, also have a .55AR Open Volute Turbine housing
-Management:
Full ECMLink V3
Evo 8 MAF
AEM UEGO/MAP/IAT
2 Stage Electronic Boost Controller
-Still needs:
Fire Suppression System
Roof Rails
LSR Cage
Parachute
Coilovers
Better Manifolds (Intake & Exhaust)
Bigger Turbo
More Fuel (Second Fuel Rail, Pumps, etc.)
Water to Air Intercooler
E98 or Pure Methanol
Goals: 750whp and 200MPH License on asphalt or 175mph on Salt, preferably both.
ETA: 36 Months
Ultimately I want to do 200MPH at Bonneville, but I have A LOT of learning and experience to gather before that. Will probably take 3-5 years to get to that point in a safe and realistic fashion.
The Fit may be put on the back burner if I don't end up selling my other DSM.
If any of you are interested in a sleeper on the cheap that will run down and embarrass cars that cost six figures PM me and I will hook you up with a running 1G that is ugly as sin but runs like a raped ape. I've already had a few offers, some from friends.
But if I can introduce a fellow FF.net to an affordable entry into the DSM world I would be thrilled. Especially a local!

i want to know what price you paid for this car???

Not much, all things considered.. You'd be hardpressed to find one this nice with as many goodies from an in-family car that was maintained by a Multi-Cert'd Porsche Technician lol
Owner wasn't looking for money, had no room for it because he was moving out of state to an apartment with only one parking spot and this was his toy.
When we discussed what I was going to do with it, and he saw what I had done to the Laser I drove out to meet him he all but threw the keys at me.
Helps that his uncle runs a Land Speed "B/BGL" Lakester class vehicle and that this car is being built for either SCTA-BNI "G/PS" or "G/BGT" class Land Speed Racing.

I have a vision of countless city, county and state police, Homeland Security and military vehicles along with drones and helicopters in the sky tailing you when you pull that weapon of mass destruction out of your driveway..
A little bling for an otherwise boring piece:
Coolant can cap.
All that's left is to complete the Oil feed line filter/restrictor/pressure sensor assembly is next, then some small tweaks to the external aero work, final electrical device testing, fill all fluids, tuck and restrain as many lines/wires underhood as it feasible, then its finally time to fire up!
