Well I guess John ( MWC1 ) has a civic he built for this, and my Integra is getting there.

Damn back from the dead...
My car's getting there, but spending less than 1500 bucks is almost gone.
So far...
1990 Probe $450
Greddy Type RS BOV $175
Intercooler Bends and piping $150
Battery cable for relocation $20
Manual Boost controller $35
ACT 2100 Clutch Kit $325

Have to do:
FMIC $200
Manifold and flywheel Planing $75

This leave me with 70 dollars for random blots/paint/whatever. GOod luck to all competitors.

But joel, the rules were that it needed to start out life non-turbo...sorry.

[PSiedTSi]

he was actually allowed in chuck...he was approved

[Guest]

thats right...since he started w/ such a POS to begin with, we bent the rules, I forgot.

[weshole]

That sux that a turbo car was allowed in. I was going to enter my 200.00 buick in that i bought when i worked at the junkyard.

[Guest]

he still has to stay under $1500 though...which he won't be able to I don't think.

[94NDTA]

I wanted to enter my Parissienne....but it has a V8

[weshole]

Well if he goes over by even a penny, then he's out. Got that Joel? I'm going to leave mine fully dressed.

This is very true Joel so watch out.

I'm doing good so far:
$50 1989 Acura Integra LS
$100 Exedy Clutch/Pressure plate
$75 HKS Head gasket for boost apps.
$50 Bondo, tools/Random junk

I bet I come out of this with the cheepest car. I'm trying for the most bang for the buck. Joel your doing great though! Good work so far.

[GarageAlchemist]

i have a 94 sho that cost me total of 1250, can i enter that?

[My NOva]

no heath its not a junker

[GarageAlchemist]

it costs less than 1500!

[Guest]

the rules were posted somewhere at the beginning of this thread (I'm too lazy to look them up myself), but if it meets that criteria I can't see why it wouldn't be allowed.

[weshole]

Do you have less than 1500.00 getting it to where it is now? Did you buy it before or after the challenge was made. The challenge was supposed to be directed towards not so fast cars or dare I say "ringers" that a person could pick up for el cheapo to enter the contest with. Putting or allowing ringers only takes away from the fun that this was supposed to create. Otherwise I've got a bud that owns a awd dsm that only paid 1200.00 for that would clean up if that's the criteria allowed.

[torbs]

heath, u got $250 left for juice...do it do it!!! hehe

[amicheze]

i think the rules shouldve been something like the car cant cost more than $500 and then you get to spend 1k after that on mods. then something like each mod cant cost more than 100 bucks. that way itd be more of an actual 'junkyard' tournament. just my opinion.

[torbs]

sorry for the whoring, but everytime i see amicheze's avatar, i cant stop staring and saying "that was me"...ok im done

correct me if I'm wrong, but the na DSM motor isn't a 4G63 is it? Will the turbo parts just swap over? I don't know, I'm not a DSM guy.

cams are different and you gotta baby it. you really cant boost past 12 pounds. IDK, nick kinda talked me through this.

[PSiedTSi]

a 1G NA motor is a 4G63 but they also have a 1.8Liter sohc motor too...but i think that was answered a long time ago on this thread oh well

[Joel]

Shit dude, the Galant 2.0 SOHC motor is a 4G63. I think a N/A running 12 pounds would own, so I dont think boosting is an issue.
BTW, Can we sell parts that we got with our cars when we bought them like they do on Monster Garage? EX: My stocK FMIC and use the money I got from it for other mods? It would make the competition a lot mor einteresting.
Wes, I Dont really have any money left, so its impossible for me to cross the 1500 barrier.
