Welcome aboard.

Thanks! Once the car actually makes it to the garage I'll post up some pics. I had to clean some room out for it this past weekend. :-)

Sorry, I've been slacking. Been a lot going on since I picked the car up last week! Have a good bit of work to do on it but I've already gotten started...



Here are a couple of quick pics:

This weekend I'm putting on new Mishimoto radiator hoses, replacing as many vacuum hoses / oil hoses as I can, wiring boost/vac, oil pressure, oil temp, and water temp gauges, then probably detailing it. I have a LOT to do before the August 28th show!! LoL

Looks nice dude!!!

Thanks! The guy has suddenly disappeared on shipping me the 19s that were coming with it and I hope he fixes it soon.. Not looking forward to any drama but I don't care for people stealing... LoL



Traced down the oil leak on the car and it looks to be the oil catch tank that's inline and bolted under the cold side I/C pipe of the UIM. The hose going into it at the back of the tank was loose and leaking. I fixed that last night and took it out, no smoking, no burning oil smell, looks good! :-D

I guess I'm going non-sequential! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif



I had planned on going single early next year anyways so I guess it's for the best. I am going to try to get the rack out this week and find a good spot for the new catch can.



I ordered the Banzai Racing block off plates and will be ordering the air pump delete kit today... I guess the bay is getting cleaned out sooner than expected! Ha!

Yikes! Best of luck man!!

leetfade 08-16-2011 10:03 AM

Ha thanks! My block off plates should be in this week and I'll start cleaning everything up... Have a LOT to do before the show on the 28th. ><

Anyone have a magical way to get the vacuum chamber out that sits below the alternator (big black plastic box)? It seems to be attached at the bottom some how...



And, oh.. removing the air pipes on the turbo side with the engine still in the car.... yeah... that just isn't going to happen!! LOL. I'm trying to get everything out that's no longer in use and put the block off plates on, but I just can't get to some of the bolts. ><
