Just updating with my progress. Since I had the day off AND the weather was good (which most of you wont know b/c im the only regular in this forum who actually lives in FLORIDA) i got lots done to my car in preperation for the engine to go in. First thing I did was finished up my front mount K&N. I refuse to call it a cold air anything because thats so frikkin ricey. I got that done and it turned out perfect! I even made a little mounting tab to connect the pipe to the body.
this is looking from the engine compartment out the front on the drivers side.
this is looking down between the core support and the bumper.
Looks mean as hell eh? Fits in there PERFECT! Should make a nice vacuum cleaner noise for all to hear!
I then got out the dremel and did my oiling system a favor. MUCH increased oil pickup here!
Next I got out my IC pipes. I figured ive procrastinated long enough on cleaning up the welds and getting them Jet Hotted. I got a plethera of grinding tools out and a few hours later they are VERY clean and ready for the coating!
they look better in person
I just got a relay from Radio Shack so I can finish wiring up all my gauges inside.
