Still waiting for a email from phil for when my parts are done will let yall know the updates when it happens ^^

and the heli ride fucking kicked ass!!!

I went on a Helicopter tour one time up in Tenn. It was awesome. GL with your car and your military work. Buddy of mine just turned in his paperwork for the Marines.

haha yeah i know but it should FINALLY get tuned this coming week or so I just need a trailer to get it to Tacoma… My new car has been taking up a lot of my time seeing how all my DA/DB friends sold thier cars or are not even in the country… I’ll try to get a video of it being tuned and some pictures but thats if I remember too.

These are the new wheels I just got for the GLI…

wooh wife told me the manifold and DP are back along with my Line kit, should be getting picks either tomorow or sunday will see

about to start ordering some small fuel pieces probaly the fuel pump first, trying to figure out what size injectors im gonna run, thinking anywhere from 440s-750s leaning more towards the 750s cause i can have more room to play around with, with out over working the injectors, anyone got some input on Injector sizes?

lol i should be home soon enough and we will go tear up some tracks, and i can break a axle mobbing around town with you again lol

wow, you got the mani and down pipe back, that was quik.

I wouldn’t go any smaller then 750cc. I personally am going to run 1000 cc and that way I should be able to run corn at a later time as well.

the one thing to keep in mind is running out of fuel is very dangerous teritory with boost. so it never hurts to be able to make sure she has enuff to drink :wink:

Nope, lol they “returned to Sender” the package back to my wife lol but Phil shot me a Message saying he recieved my parts today and would be mailed out on Wednesday been awhile since ive updated this thread ive been out in the field lol im still out here but i will be leaving tomrorow night il post some pics up of my Gunnery in a different thread with some videos of my Tank firing off the Main gun, my crew qualified Top tank in our Platoon and 2nd Tank in the company, its not really saying much for our score but my crew was the first crew to actualy shoot and qualify off D65 in over 2years i spent the first week working 22hour days getting shit for sleep but it was totally worth it you guys are gonna dig the videos but i gottta get goin il talk at yall soon

My DA is alive again!! So you need to get your ass back here so you can refresh your memory on what it looks like, since its been so long since anyone has seen it ahaha. Hope everything is going good for you man!

So my mani, DP and oil line kit should be here on the 10th, i might be coming home in November on leave if we arent going out to the field again, my buddy nick picked my car up last weekend and has started doing the body work, dont remember if i told you guys but our buddy jeff got a job at a body shop in my hometown and they are gonna be painting my car there very excited lol

il post some pics up of the mani fixed when my wife sends them to me, im gonna talk to speedfactory and see what they could do for a FMIC for me i kinda wanna get a backdoor unit but the prices are pretty steep, im gonna see if i could talk my uncle into welding me up a Backdoor FMIC if i buy the core but i dunno cause i dont know how well it will flow lol i have alot of ideas in my head i wish i was home to try them out but im jotting them down in a composite notebook so i wont forget them lol

well, thats a expensive route ahaha 900 bucks for a backdoor, I have decided on my exhaust, im gonna run 3in all the way back with a Magna Flow oval 5x8 race muffler 3in in/out, im gonna route it like the stock exhaust and have a turn down as the tip, im gonna build it myself in the shop, and its gonna be flanged unlike my first exhaust i built on my DA lol

also, My leave should be corrected soon so i will be coming home hopefully sometime in September

congrats man, im sure you cant wait:up:

yeah i cant wait, i wanted to wait it out and do the full year here and take leave at the end but i wanna see mah family and friends and get away from the stupid BS here in Korea lol

That’s pretty much exactly how we’re doing Glynn’s exhaust, lol. Who quoted you 900bucks for a backdoor? Speedfactory? I’d definitely still go there for tuning if you could, they’re a good shop up there

Shit man, my buddy was stationed out there and he didn’t even come home for almost a year and a half, lol. He also ended up finding a fiance there too, so I’m sure that was part of it. LOL

This is kinda what im gonna aim for with my Exhaust, This was the first Exhaust i built back in HS for my DA gonna run it like this but 3in and a Turn down tip

Sup guys long time no update

i should know if my leave is going to be fixed or not by the 15th im in the process of ordering my Intercooler and Fuel system, FMIC is gonna be a Mishimoto M-line (blk finish) getting a great deal on it, fuel is gonna Be 255lph Walbro and 780cc injectors

and in febuary i will be moving to Fairbanks, Alaska:)

just orderd my intercooler went with a Mishi Z-line couldnt pass up the deal i got on it, im talking with my buddy back in the states to see if he cant fab me up some charge piping so when i come back home in the next 2 months i can put everything together and go get a tune!!! just need to get a Fuel pump and Injectors
