Everything looks good. I think you put the scoops on the windows in the wrong way though

no there in correctly you need something to protrude to capture the air, but it could work the other way too, to a degree. they actually work very well I was surprised at the flow of air its hard to get it angled any where but your chest but it was well worth it IMHO

oil cooler blew up nasty today... the sandwich plate o-ring has and was completly fuxored up.... not to mention the line came loose from the return from the cooler soo it blew up too hahaha time for some new braided ones....

Yikes!

Do you think you may have starved the motor of oil? Also, I am suprised that you had an oil ring and a hose fail. Do you think you have some other issues you need to deal with? Heat? To high of oil preasure?

Thanks I was surprised how well they work seriously....

Curious as to their lighting vs. the stock lights. Any comparison shots?

sounds like a torqueing issue maybe overtightened and then fatigued after so many heat cycles.

Holy crap, how did I miss this. You ended up with my manifold! Put a brace on that sumbitch, its heavy!

We are going to have a army of built, fast 1.6 cars :cool:

Glad to see that you have made some good progress. You should think about camshafts. You should have most of the things to support it now right?.....Oil pump?

I can help you set it up if you go that route.
