      I like them. I did the a-pillar mount years ago and I wanted to mix it up.

        The wheel looks too modern for the car. Also, how do you fill up the trans from there? I'm just curious, as I haven't owned a manual prior to the winter E28

          2ft of clear hose and that funnel. Pop the hose into the side fill hole and start pouring! So much easier than the pump method.

            Brakes done. Just gotta hit them with some paint. Gold rotors??? Maybe just black.

                Oh, so theres a legit fill hole that you can access through the shift boot? Wonder if my Getrag 265 has one.

                  There isn't a fill hole through the boot. I just pulled mine up to access. You have to lead the hose to the fill hole while underneath the car. It isn't directly under the shifter.

                    I just popped my drive shaft back in after flipping the csb around. Installed it backwards, oops.

                    While I was down there I took some close up pics of my exhaust. They go in order of front to back. Pics are of the weld/mounting points.

                              Crank Case is on vacuum!

                              Beat the crap out of her last night and she was all good!!

                              I might have to close up the plug gap a little more and make sure all the plugs have the open side facing away from the intake so I don't blow out the spark. It slightly broke up a couple of times.

                              I smoked a modded, newer GTO last night! Ha! Dude was shocked.

                              Time to boost her up!!! I might go 18-22psi. I'm at 14psi now after fixing a leak I've had since the beginning.

                                    Car looks great John! IMO, it would look much cleaner with some black elbows for the intercooler.

                                        Writing down another update to keep me organized. 

                                        Things to do:

                                        - Swing by radio shack for a 5amp inline fuse for the wideband brain.

                                        - Buy a new VDO oil pressure gauge that works with my sending unit.

                                        - Install glove box

                                        - Install trunk lock.

                                        - I also need to cut some more of my fenders off in the rear. 

                                        - Clean up the grill and fender mounts. #easy

                                        Who has re-keyed their locks?  Please school me on this guys! 

                                        After doing some work to the BOV I found out that I had a pinched ICV barbed hose fitting which had to be leaking badly.  I kind of already mentioned this...Now can this snow go away?!?!

                                          Agree with TJ, this thing is tits, aside from those blue couplers.

                                          Idk if this was mentioned, but what turbo are you running?
