Awesome. I am waiting on some god damned fittings to come in before i can start my car, i need an adapter to hook up my oil feeds! My return fittings should be here tomorrow. I'm getting really excited about the car, she's almost done!!
It will run at the beginning of next week, for sure.
Kayo is going to add bellows to the downpipe runners before the collector so it is easier to bolt up the diff. I dropped my car off there yesterday afternoon, he wants to have it out of his sight next friday. He also has to weld the o2 bung in there. I would do it myself but i dont have the right gas for S/S, and it would be less expensive to just have him do it for 5 bucks
I need to get a new seat as well, the ones i have are too wide and there isnt enough room to add tin between the seat and the shifter (the bottom lever of the shifter hits the seat in 3rd)
I dont quite know what i'm going to do about that. I think i'll sell both seats i have, buy one recaro that is 15cm narrower then the current seat, and run a stock passenger seat. They dont need no ******* race seat, they can hold on
anywho, i am getting really excited about this thing. It should be moving under its own power by next week.
When do you want to swap tires. I'm around all week but let me know when you want to trade because my work schedule is pretty irregular. where in westminister are you?

Hey Bobby one thing I wanted to ask is how close to the fenders are those 28" tires? My 26" are pretty close to the from lip when the suspension is unloaded , I cant remember how close the 28" are.

They fit with my lowered car, and my car is slammed. If you hit a bump hard they will bottom out in the tub, but it isnt bad at all. If i was going to keep them i was just going to raise the ride height a lil bit...
