Pourman's '93 FD

Drove it today for the first time in a few weeks ... think my Boost creep issues are solved now too

Damn ... shredded a coupler yesterday on a test drive

Was it a silicone one? Jimmy sells the crappy ones for n/a and the good ones for boost so make sure to get the boost couplers.

Im a noob to the turbo scene... what shreds a coupler, too much pressure?

I think the term shredded was used because he's a surrrfer duuude, haha.

If you've got old and brittle couplers they will start to get hard and crackle kind of like dry rotting. It's the same concept with any coupler, really. Boost couplers are lined with thread and wire so they can with stand more pressure. I don't know what he's using but in his pictures and when I saw his car he had ollllld Greddy couplers on there.

Got ya makes sense. I need to replace my old BLUE cuplers with some new BLACK ones just fo looks. Ima hit Jimmy up.

Haha...

Exactly what happened ... the coupler from the IC back to the Intake Manifold was brittle I guess , and it finally gave way ... need to get up there for some new couplers and T-clamps soon (before the Tune )

T bolts, FTW!

STILL haven't received my new registration from the DMV yet , nor do I know which tag choice I will get yet ... hope to have it before the weekend for the "Family" type get together on the 26th ... I still have the old tag and registration , which expires in Februaury , but since I already applied for a new one , is this one void now ??

I HATE detailing work

Nice car. If you want to get into drifting do it in a pos 240. I'm not dogging your skills but if you start out in that car you will almost certainly wrek it and that would be a shame. I have a buddy with a 240 w/ a boosted ka if you are looking for one send me a pm.

Thanks for the new Coupler Jimmy

I'm wanting to Wax the car this week with the 4 days of great weather we're supposed to get ... it will be the first wax ever on the new paint , any recommendations on what to use ?? ... it's been over a month since the new paint job , so the paint should be cured and hardened by now

Meguirs NXT paste. Love it.

Gonna do it in the morning ... washed , vacuumed , and did the wheels and tires , windows and all the vinyl trim , looks CLEAN ... Wax goes on after the morning dew evaporates , didn't want it out of the garage until the humidity was gone ... can't wait for the meet on the 23rd , hopefully the weather will be nice too ... perhaps a tuning session prior to the 23rd is in order as well

OK , I know some aren't a fan of the KS Wing , and I am purchasing a CF Hatch soon anyway , that was my intention all along if I didn't like the way the Wing looked now ... THIS is the Spoiler that is going on the CF Hatch , also in CF

Wing looks good, its simple, small, and suites the FD well

dam thats ganna look so clean!

i like the idea of the cf hatch, i cant see the pictures of whatever wing you posted, but i heard small, so im sure ill like it better then the last.

any thoughts towards new wheels in the future?

Damn that car is going to look SICK! Nice choice.
-Dave

Either WORK Termist TM-1 , or Gram Lights 57S with Titanium Lip are going on the car very soon , with some crazy offsets and some DEEP dish on 'em

that would really help out a lot.

Whos' got Photochop skillz ?? ... ... see if you can chop these wheels onto my car please

Get me a straight side shot of your car and a good side shot of the wheels.

I can do it with the pictures posted but they are at odd angles and I don't think a car would move forward of wheels were pointed at those angles
