Are you going to wrap the down pipe or just leave it for now?

2747

love the firewall panel that you built… looks great.

I was driving my E30 to work today and thinkin about how if I had > 2x the power I would be dead already without a lot more tire.

That’s some pretty sick exhaust routing but aren’t you afraid of heat?

slightly off-topic, I just noticed it says there’s 110 pages but I can only see up to 108. I hope I’m not missing anything.

2750

it happens a lot for some reason, I dont think you are missing anything

50 post/ page is better btw

2751

Didn’t do shit all weekend.

This is what’s left:

*Mount master cyl reservoir
*Plumb reservoir
*Bleed brakes

*Wire chassis
*Install HIDs

*Install windshield
*Install body panels
*Install/cut dash

*Make/improve accelerator pedal

*Buy driveshaft

*Fluids

I think that’s about it before it can drive.

2752

you have until the 5th to complete.

2753

+1 for labor day weekend coming up.

nice work

2755

Last night I didn’t get a lot done except make a really large mess.

Started cutting up my scrap dash to see how i need to cut the other one…

2756

Having a really hard time getting motivated lately.

2757

^I know Paulo mentioned it too but if you need a hand with anything shoot me a PM

2758

If you need a hand I can lend one.

I can give you a hand with that massive wiring job. Ask 91MR2.

2759

hmm, it would be nice to have someone who is good at wiring help out.

I am good at wiring, but it’s def nice to have a second set of hands.

2760

You have the hard part of wiring done. The rest just takes time. It will be running before you know it.

Or perhaps the culmination of three years work is a little over whelming?
