    The manifolds are a bit R&D yet.  I am waiting for delivery of a set of Evolve Long tube headers.  I'm hoping to turn these into turbo manifolds.  At worst we will use them to make custom fixtures, as I already have Stainless flanges made.

    I plan to use most of my current exhaust since it is all custom from the stock manifolds back.  Unless the turbos move things around too much, then we will be re making that all again.

                  No, the stock setup is a slave cylinder with a rod that moves a fork like a typical trans.

                  Details:

                  VAC clutch, Tilton components, not very expensive, super long lead time.

                    Unf, that is beautiful. I need to get a good clutch setup for my bronze car. =\ I want quick revving, light weight, but not too-lightweight to where it's performance robbing.

                        Hopefully the clutch wont make much noise.

                                I think there will be plenty of other noises to overtake that :D

                                  Got up to the shop last weekend.  Didn't feel like a lot was acomplished, but we made huge leaps forward in planning.

                                  Got my newly refinished wheels mounted.  They fit.....just barely.  I will need to lower the car a bunch and play with some thicker spacers in the front and rear.  I may have to pull the rear fenders a bit depending on alignment.

                                  PowdercoatedHRE2zpscd7bcd00.jpg

                                  Found a home for these beauties

                                  Made all solid bushings for the Diff

                                  SolidRearEndbushingszps45e7b3d7.jpg

                                  Pulled the stock manifolds off and test fitted my brand new evolve headers.....sadly they wont work, but I'm glad we figured that out before we cut them up.  Anyone in the market for S62 longtube headers?

                                  EvolveHeaderszpsca5b7ab9.jpg

                                  Dropping my spare block off on Thursday on my way to Chippewa Falls.  Manifold mockup will commence.

                                  We figured out the limited mods that need to be done to get the turbos to fit, and came up with a REALLY cool way to route the turbo piping.

                                          What turbos (so sweet to put a "s" behind that) did you go with?
