Ben's potato camera sucks. The bay looks beautiful.

With all that beautiful ness are you going to do a booster delete or hydro booster or anything?

[GunMetalGrey]

Nope!

I sent out my old flywheel a month or so ago to the company that made it to see about replacing the friction disc and cleaning it up a bit. They told me the flywheel is 18 years old and would cost a bit to fix up and then offered me a great deal on a new one. Ended up buying the new one, and it doesn't work with my pressure plate. Guess they never looked at my old flywheel huh.

Mildly annoying.

Had many a flywheel 

Got a roof rack, got some tint, all good things.


Tried on some wheels

Put my intake on and realized that the IX brake fuild res doesn't fit so well. Had to put the intake on without the throttle body in order to make it fit. 

So snug

Hose Fitment, the fittings curve perfectly to the alternator. 

Waiting on one more fitting

Uploaded on Imgur, not Flickr... quality kinda sucks.

Looks amazing. How does the wiring harness mount to the firewall in the back there?

[GunMetalGrey]

Thanks man!
I just have the cover set there right now, but will be adding some mounting to the blower motor cover to be able to secure it.

[DrLeadFoot]

Looking good!

I keep looking at those pictures and it bothers me every time that the one clamp is silver, I replaced it with a black one. Have no fear.
Oil cooler is fully plumbed, and I started adding oil. I am at about 7 quarts with no cranking and I am just hitting the minimum oil level on the dipstick. Nifty!
Exhaust is on, wiring is pretty much done, intercooler and whatnot are in place. 
Add fluids, check for leaks, start it?
I always feel like I am missing stuff and that it should take longer.... not that I usually miss things. Just feels weird having a working car

[suspenceful]

When you gonna attempt to start it? I wanna be there.
