I think I would like the w/g valve thingy more if it was all molded in and painted with the fender all flush and stuff... But I still give you mad prop's for it

I guess its about time for an update.

Built my manifold, drove it one day. Tore it apart again...

Flanges were never resurfaced after welding so there was an exhaust leak. (like I expected) Powersteering pump failed, along with the knock sensor. Should be up and running again in a week or so.

Need to buy a real boost controler, and also tune it yet.

Getting fuel.







All work was done by me, welds are not the prettiest but I take pride in saying I did the work. Was all mig welded with my hobart unit.

YOUR CAR IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!

not to threadjack, any way you could possibly snap some picture as to what you did with the engine bay harnesses after you tubbed the front?

The way you routed the hard lines from the brake master cylinder is really clean man. Debated to myself whether I liked your car now or when it was white and to be honest it came out a draw. The verdict is simply that your car is exquisite in all ways, shape, form period. Nice work.

To make the silvia grille light up I first cut the back off of it. Then taped off the silvia lettering and painted the inside silver. I did the same on the out side with black. I took a vatozone special blue neon tube and put it side. To finish it off, I made a new back plate out of some scrap alluminum and rivited it on.

Thank you, I miss driving it the way it used to be, before the body kit and big wheels. It was much less of a hassle.



And here are a couple of new pics.
