Noel the starion is lookin good kid. Is that an EVO intake mani on the DSM motor? If so, did you block the injector ports in the head? or did you block the ones in the mani? I think using the ones in the manifold will be more efficient for fuel atomization.

WOW!!! great looking car!!!! I think the best looking 8Gs here in this forum are ASTIG'S and now yours. Both of them have been modded tastefully without going too extreme and overdoing it. In my opinion, it is very easy for people to get carried away with mods and crossing the line between modding tastefully and ricing a car. A++. You are teasing me to do the same things to my car. Currently I have a 03 GTZ, Titanium Pearl (just like yours) in beautiful original condition. I just got it 3 months ago with 26K original miles.......Again.....you just made me want to start working on mine!!!

ivory, unfortunately the sds is not in yet...but the gauges for it are... whenever i get some time ive been trying to install what i can but i have a lot of stuff going on right now between work, our new house and im getting married in a little less then 4 weeks. i have a little time off this week so i may get a little more done but im really trying to get the house done so it will be hassle free after the wedding....after everything slows down it will become more of a priority

cali starion is looking great

wow that really is a lot of major life changes so soon! good stuff, well when it becomes a priority i will love to see the sds in your build thread :)

thanks dmd, i really appreciate all the kind words...if you need some help feel free to give me a shout

ivory....yea i hear you...but the good news is i am buying my soon to be wife a new car and will be finally taking hers as a daily. so down time doesnt really matter at that point...as long as the weather permits in upcoming months it should be done relatively soon...i still have to pick up and build a second engine to really make a monster but by my guestimate next summer sounds like a realistic goal as a whole, i guess i have to see how "boost happy" i get lol to see how much sooner i may get it done

yea it's an evo intake mani but the flange on it was cut off and one was made from scratch...(it doesn't bolt up) so i'll be using the injector ports on the head. the main reason for it was to route the egr gases through the plate to the other side. trying to keep it street legal for CA...sorta lol.
