What's with the bracing by the diff... is that just for lateral support or does it hold another purpose (i see some bolt bungs there)

Edit: nevermind, i was looking at that backwards... just new trans mount...

Sorry to ruin your day but your pictures got blocked because they exceeded the limit of views

also don't mean to make this a personal question but how much would you say this build cost like higher then 20k less or whatever? No need for exact values.

Thanks

I have a website that I can host photos from, I don't know why I didn't use that before. I'll get it all sorted out.

^^

Seems to me like this build is more or less completed lol he revamped the entire car! Beautiful car and nice job on making all the little things count, it clearly shows in the attention to detail

killer240 · 11-25-2011, 03:15 PM

fix the pics.. please

handsomecs · 11-25-2011, 07:14 PM

^^^^^ second!!!!

jchrisw85 · 11-26-2011, 11:07 AM

the underbody on this car is so clean... lol i made it my wall paper on my phone.

Levan. B · 11-26-2011, 05:01 PM

Photos are corrected now, finally.

Small updates...

Pulled the lower half of the intake off, The idle up valve was not working correctly. the idle was at a steady 1500 RPM at full temperature, since it was already apart I threw a new IAC on too.

Found out my old PS hoses had a very small leak, pulled em and thew on some new guys.

While the intake was off I also decided to go ahead and wrinkle finish the IC piping and paint up some of the nuts and bolts from the intake.

Buttoned it all back up

Very pleased with the black piping..

I picked up some STRI electronic gauges for a good price, the quality seems pretty spot on. hopefully I'll have these in the car within a week so I can arrange a dyno day with RS Enthalpy for fine tuning.

More misc plastic pieces I've been searching for.

Got her all cleaned up!

EazyS13 · 11-26-2011, 05:34 PM

looks good dude

project_silvia · 11-27-2011, 01:03 AM

i love your car bro.. looks sick

travisty_ · 11-27-2011, 01:27 AM

I just picked up the same gauges a day or two ago, but in amber. Nice choice. The wrinkle piping is a good addition, I like it.

va240dude · 11-27-2011, 01:37 AM

Dude I love that wrinkle finish on the piping! Also something I was thinking about on my car, however, over time won't it be harder to wipe clean? Just a thought that I had since I like my engine bays to be easy to clean up

NOTsliden · 11-27-2011, 09:05 AM

sad to see the build come to an end, cause I liked the whole build and want to see more.
great job man.
But where did you order all of your window trim, weather striping, seals, and little interior pieces?

Bushido · 11-27-2011, 09:20 AM

Where are you going to mount your gauges?

I think an brake lines from the master cylinder would clean up the look of the bay even more. Chasebays has a good deal on em right now...
