I am so stoked. the kid i bought my car from opened a business. called F/M tuning. he can get parts from japan and all it is tight.

plus we will be having dyno days with the local shops. this was what i was looking for local connections. it is tight.

he doesnt have a website yet.

hopefully will soon. it is just in the ground breaking level. but it is tight.

tomorrow i will have a real update.

greddy ls intercoolerthis pick was taken to make your eyes hurt loli was having problems with the focus. but my hks bov. i think it is missing the rubber seal. between it and the attachment.it is i nreally good shape other then missing the rubber partit is the screw on flang typepipinganother of the bovmy prego sister modeling my intercoolertemporary mounted on the car for pics. bov in carwaiting for my new cold pipe to get here next weekand engine shot

i decided to use my clutch fan. before you go an tell me not to. i decided it! i know it would save like 3 hp to take it off. but i dont care.i am going to use the shroud to. cause i hate that empty spot infront of the motor.

dont tell me not to do this. it is my car i can do whatever the f*** i want lol.

ok with that said i hope you guys like the update.

It's ok idaho lol. I know you'll put e fans on someday. Koukichic isn't putting hers on yet either . If you're talking about the rubber o ring thats like 2 inches in diameter for the BOV flange I can send u my old one or I'd direct u to a hardware store in the plumbing section. Go to an ace hardware if you can because they have billions of O ring selections many of which are large enough for these flange fittings. I'm not sure if other hardware stores have as much of a selection.

Really nice stuff man. Good work s0n. Ur IC is huge.

hmmm..... no money for that right now. unless it is a super good deal. i will probably upgrade eventually. i just want to get her fired up and make sure everything runs. so that if it doesn't i can fix it. then i will do little add on once i know it is running fine.

I'm really digging the Lime green toughes in the engine bay. What'd you use for the valve cover/ oil pan? High heat spray paint or regular spray paint?

You would be the only person ever to not have them work them. Don't blame the fans for not being able to hook them up.

Keep up the work IT!

HAHAHAAHAHAHA. i know how to hook them up. just saying that junkyard fans < buying nicer aftermarket, higher cfm fans. i prefer to put new parts on my car when budget allows, instead of a used part.

fyi, dont assume i dont know how to wire things. I am an MECP certified professional mobile electronics installer LOL. scored a 100% on the exam (only one in my district to do so on the first try). if i didnt know how to wire things, i wouldnt have the money to work on my car, that i do. dont judge, codyace.
