Do you have an automatic or manual transmission?
If manual, what pump are you going to use to push the trans fluid around?

Also, where are you going to mount the trans temp sensor?

automatic trans.. If i had a manual i would have been able to save a good chunk of money.. As for the temp sensor the plan was to have a bung welded to the side of the trans pan and mount it out of the way.

more parcels..

received my spacers from Adam (Azuelke) today, all i can say is these are quality pieces and other small business could learn a few things from him. Quick shipping, great packaging and the fit perfect, not to mention fast communication.




started to clean under the car..





nice new SS rear endlinks, cannot wait to install them



coolant can is connected to rad via AN4 braided line.


all the hoses/fittings for the catch cans are finished



planing for the fans/ cooler has started. trying to figure out how I am going to mount everything and if it is even possible in front of the rad

NRG CF hood dampers, designed to be used with CF hoods.




spent a few hours in the garage today before it became to nice to be wasting the day with the car. Just a few more lines to run and finish off some wiring and its driving time.




well spent an hour or so trying to get the racingline rear links to work with the AWR rear brackets. Could not use the bushings that came with them but i did mange to customize some 95duro bushings i had to work with them. These heims are much larger then the AWRs that they replaced.




also picked all the parts up yesterday, the ceramic come out amazing as i knew it would.

all in the small details now, DEI cool tape for the inlet since it sits so close to my header..



installed on the inlet



time for the final install of the SC tomorrow as well as a few other parts.

well minor update, drove the car earlier for its annual safety inspection.. passed with no issues. was fun driving it legally for the first time this year and it worked great for the short trip. Then once i returned to the garage i ripped it apart to swap the fuel rail, as well as bleed the PS system properly.

pics since people like pics better then talking.

all the center gauges are working properly now.


received a new OEM shifter today, looks much better in my all black interior. it is real leather and matches my seats very well.









swapping fuel rail



have to go and pick up one more fitting tomorrow as i grabbed one that was too small for the line im using. luckily i can buy the OEM hardline fittings locally and easily so the new lines can connect to the oem hardlines

quick connect fitting



had to remove the IC piping as well as few other things in order to swap the rail and injectors



also the orange looks more gold then orange when i use the cell phone for pics, I still hate the color since i wanted a nice burnt orange.. hoping maybe once im done ill either learn to like the color/finish or it will be changed over the winter to a completely different color/finish.
