Gabby, you really should get a lawnmower battery or relocation kit and re-route that cold side piping through the battery tray. It would look much cleaner.

And a GT35R might be a tad big on the 'ol CA18. A 2876R would be well matched. You could even try a 3071R and be okay. The GT3582R is just too much turbo for a street car under two liters. I mean, it flows 65lb/min. The GT28R flows less than half that.

yeah the battery is kinda ugly and will probably relocate it in the coming weeks, just need time to do it.

G-Unot



A phrase thought of by rapper the Game to describe how fake he thinks G-Unit is. After 50 Cent kicked the Game out of the G-Unit rap group, they both faked a make up which was broadcast on television, and donated money to the Harlem Kids Choir. However, the truth was exposed at Summer Jam 2005 in New York City: they're still beefin', or at least they don't like each other too much. At Summer Jam '05, the Game screamed "F*ck 50" a bunch of times, told him he'd take on Tony Yayo and Lloyd Banks, and, supposedly, said the following backstage: "I didn't ask for this sh-t, I got kicked out the group cause n-ggas hated on me man so f--k them n-ggas. It's GGGG-Unot...I don't f--k with rats and snitches...

You mean the cold side? the hot side is pretty much in engine bay........

the cold side is maybe an extra 1/4in below my lip....... nothing to really worry about.

it is funny when people have no clue what they are pulling up to.

my friend is a pro-sport dealer, we spent a ton of time with one of their reps just before I did my swap last year and so far 2 months of running them I could not be happier. I will be purchasing the EGT, oil temp, and Oil Pressure gauge very soon here.

my 21st bday is in less than 2 months........ guess whats on my list

ok... its all about making time. it isnt like a replaced sex with my car..... just have sex and the car..... sometimes at the same...

lol.

as this impropt to post is been made I will update a bit

new IC piping being done this week or the next(helping BF with custom IC setup for his friends MS6)

re-dyed the carpet black(turned out amazing)

R32 drivers seat(going to modify for LHD)

picked up genaric Racing seat for passenger sidehunting a cheap dash so I can fiberglass the gauges in place instead of the A pillar

sideskirts and rear bumper(actually getting an entire kit) picking up for 100 bucks on friday night.

new wheels picked up last week headed out to the powder coaters

s14 seats going in the rear when I have time.

will probably pick up KYB struts and tein springs in the next week or so.

then it is off to paint! (july 1st is my 21st bday so wont need the car anyways )

will post pics once everything is together.

**bold up in the air may use the old recaro race seat we have in the barn for the drivers seat and run the R32 seat as the passenger seat instead. depends on what fits and looks the best.

make sure you get really drunk and burden your friends on your 21st. Anything less than a 0.4% BAC is failure.

ty tim for correcting me again......got florida schools really funked me over.

as for getting drunk.... yeah my sister wants me to go out and get trashed, but I may wait till the 18th and go out with all the car guys. my BF doesnt drink anyways...... so I can drink all I want and just chill.

then again Im a light weight....... it takes nothing to get me goofy and after 1 bottle of beer(from what I understand) I tend to steal drinks from others

for greg, we reworked the IC piping a few weeks ago so that it isnt running under the frame rail anymore.

anyway,

cars running superb, when exhaust depot opens their shop Im going to have them manderally bend piping for IC piping so that it wont require couplers other than at the IC, turbo, and TB.



recently replaced the gas tank gasket.....I as much as the fumes were good..... it kinda want a great idea well driving.

hooked up the AC compressor, need to get it charged. May bite the bullet and run 134 instead of the R12.

going to be reworking the vac lines and clean it up and reduce some lines. going to pick up a vibrant vac block tomorrow .

one day it will be lowered

gotta replace that TB one of these days too.......such a pain in my ***.
