so do you have boost control setup on this yet? i know it creeps to 18psi at redline, but im sure if you dont have it setup that you would benefit a ton having it hit 18psi sooner

just my recent bit of work





i need to find a fitting before i can install it. but im ready to go as far as the hand brake goes. i started on the bat tie down too, as for the boost control, i know i could get it to pull sooner. im gonna run like this for a bit untill im used to it, then i maythink about a a 44mm gate,boost control and a re-tune for better spool and more TQ

That looks grrreat! When ya doing the diff swapping? I am in much need of that torsen, and someone said you should be able to pull the torsen out and put your new diff in.

diff swap wont be for a while. i have other things that are more important at the moment, diff swap is less time sensitve




put in the new handbrake this weekend and started plumbing it.




i have other things in the works, but family stuff has been insane latley. i have picnics and partys out the wazzoo every weekend. i wanna get some good work done next weekend. im gonna start on body work next month. no paint will be sprayed this year, but i want the body work to be finished. and im shooting for the club loose event in october. and maybe a lebenon valley one if there is one around that time. i think a d-faction event would be a little more relaxed to get a feel for the car

How are you going to put on the bumpers? It's too bad that all has to be covered up

hey sorry for lack of updates, been super busy over the last month or so. ive gotten a few odds and ends done. ill post up some pics when im done thisweekend.

cspence: do you have or know anyone who has a fender roller??

the front end will work like this
fenders are bolted to the bumper and the whole unit is dzus fastened to the car. right now im working on the rear end. i have to get a new rear bumper cover before i can take it to the body shop. of course there is know aftermarket oem style ones out there so i have to buy oem which is 400

Unfortunately I don't have a fender roller....there's always a heat gun and a louisville slugger

ctdrftna

iTrader: (1)

ohh, it is a 6spd. ill see how long it lasts, when it blows my plans are to put in a super t-10 4 speed. i still need to do the rear end,im gonna do a kazz 1.5 and 3.6 gears

astroboy

Yeah you need to do that rear end! Why do you need a fender roller? A die grinder, heat gun, and wooden object (bat, broomstick handle, log) will do it no problem. If you are really set on using a fender roller I may know someone with the proper tool for the job.
