These are the DTM fiberwerkz, I was going to go Kamotors way and then stumbled across a deal on these I would have been stupid to pass so I got them.



Since Lambo had to open his mouth ;)

Mega Squirt
Tremec tr-3550

Thats what'll make it move.

Please understand I do mean this in the nicest and most jealous way possible, but, I hate you quite a lot :)

Well funfgan, your build was one of the first I ever looked at so I could add you to my "inspiration" list haha

Well sir I'm honored! Best of luck with this thing, you're basically building what I want my car to be one day when I actually have money.

[IronFreak]

Fun fact........

This is a budget build, to the point were the only money I have spent thus far is from parting this out to its bare necessities and selling parts from many of my past projects. The only money I spent out of pocket so far was the $1000 I paid for it. I have parted over $1600 out of it and about another $800 for random parts I had left over from other builds!

What are your plans for brakes?

What are your plans for brakes?

Time will tell. It's a secret as long as funds will allow.....My last big purchases are going to be wheels/tires and brakes.

Updated pictures on first thread.

Question and I can provide pictures if need be. When I pulled the rear sub frame a few weeks ago, the bushing literally separated in the middle, the outside stuck to the frame and the middle is still on the bolt. I'll probably burn out the sub frame side, but how do I get the other side off? I put a vise grip on it and twisted the crap out if it and it wouldn't move! How do the sub frame bolts come out?

[bubbajan21]

Remove the rear seat, put the nut back on the bolt, and whack the bolt up into the cabin with a heavy mallet and it will pop loose. Then take the nut off and push it up into the cabin and it will be free.

Ah.....you know what now I remember someone telling me it was splined.....

[NC318e30]

Mine actually broke off because I left it hanging for a few days and the pressure snapped it. At first I was a little terrified but once I realized the new AKG bushings didn't have the same length metal sleeve I got creative lol. Took my Dremel with a metal blade and proceded to cut/gride the old sleeve till there was enough room for the new one to fit! Not ideal but it certainly worked.

Keep up the great work bud
