Good luck, when i first got mine running i drove to the gas station, with no hood or bumper. Power steering fluid leaked like crazy,Filled up gas.

Then when i was about to leave this lady walked past me and was like, "I like this car."

Just recently finished mine...seems like there are a bunch of us guys new to the SR in here these days.

GL with your build! It's a lot of work but SOOOO rewarding in the end.

i'd have to admit this was probably the best feeling in my life knowing i accomplished something like this and i did it with some of my best friends. God knows there were a lot of late nights and thank god i worked at a pizza place so i could supply food. i missed work one day because i was up late trying to get the damn thing to sit in the bay one night my boss was so mad haha.

[speedfreak358]

[CRyan]

Lucky you!! I am still hit and miss with mine right now...it is only turning over no actual attempt to run...

[cody180sx]

make sure you watch if for a couple of days no coolant leaks are boost leaks are anything like that. They tend to show up right when u think its 100%. Then it's got u doing this

But it is a great feeling isn't it

[positron1]

Congradulations! Feels good yes?!

[speedfreak358]

its funny that u said that cuz theres a hole in my lower radiator hose lol. everything else is fine. kept blowing the boost pipe on the intake mani but got it on there really good with a t bolt and hasn't come off since.

Yes, def a good feeling when the engine starts up for the first time lol. Brings back memories.

I had a lot of fun puttin mine together and doing all the work myself.

Though it did have a leaky injector on the first start up, but ever since it's been runnin strong, good luck post up pics when u can

[cody180sx]

the turbonetic t-bolt clamps are pretty good if the problem does arise again

watch the water pump too unless u replaced it before hand
