of course the Super 70 doesn't clear the MC. but, i do have an automatic cars brake booster cause my car was an automatic. so, we are going to source a manual cars booster and install a 300zx BMC which lines are routed just a little different.

Looks freaking sweet man... I'm sure you know already, but make sure you shield those plastic parts from the turbo before you get that heat going. I think a few guys have melted thier brake cylinders from the heat.

Jason! Ive been meaning to call you man, but I dont know your work schedule. Ive had to work these last few saturdays mid day shifts. Maybe I can come by on sunday or something?

When's a good time to call you?

Good to see the motor is dropped in and nice to see the turbo on

EDIT: I actually talked to Mike twice. I fixed my car, thanks to you guys. It was just my water pump! Its running just fine (with the exception of running a little rough which I think is due to the intake hoses).

My suspension is scaring me though

Damn.. I smell some possible new records for the KA-T...

I hope you're using the AEM EMS to control that beast. What HP numbers are you hoping to reach for anyway?
