the colors are pretty over the top, the car on the outside is so elderly person looking it is always a suprize to people.

actually it flows amazing and I only had to enlarge the whole for the washer res ever so slightly and it fit perfect.

Im more happy with my cold side than my hot side........ and thats only because of how it attachs off the turbo.

everthing is finally back together..... this week anyway. repainted the valve covers, fixed the mega intake and installed the front bumper.









need to install the hood still, but waiting till morning. replaced all "no load bearing" bolts with Grade 8 or better bolts for beauty and piece of mind.all squeeze clamps replaced with screw clamps.

[meminto]

Looking good...

Mega intake is right, that pod is biblical in scale... lol....

[ca18detgabby]

[projectcar240sx]

also gabby i need u to do me a favor take off the coil packs sover and spray paint it on a piece of card board or paper so all holes show and then if u send just the paper to me i scan it into my computer and make up a 3d image of what it will look like

[ca18detgabby]

should be able to make that happen

[projectcar240sx]

[ca18detgabby]

some loose ends to tie up. idle is unbelievibly clean. think I may have been off a tooth in the past. So much more crisp now, or it maybe the IC piping... idk.

still need to add new connectors on my wideband O2 power connector to replace the ones that look like crap. wheels are on slow boat from china.

15x7 with a -6 offset.



picking up a black racing bucket tomorrow. going to retro-fit it to my S13 rails. last racing seat I had.......... well Im 5'2" and couldnt reach the pedals

going to paint it. think I will stay the same color(most likely) but go with a slightly darker mineral gray of a 01 mustang.

then some suspension work

[projectcar240sx]
