Any other modifications I make I will just post pictures
Because I have nothing better to do.

Greddy kit has been pulled and sold.
It turns out doing these.

and track days and getting sideways and flat shifting.
Is bad for these.

so.
Just to update cause I am bored.
Track day = failed front main = timing belt + oil / burnout = my timing being fucked.
To the point of not being able to do burnouts.

Finally ordered exhaust.

Awesome man, definitely get an LSD rear for it and have fun with it!

3

sweet…i really wanted to see that 5.0 go in there though…

4

Don’t worry, I do intend on still doing that.
After I kill this motor. I just got the parts too cheap.

5

Cool Brian, looks awesome.

6

nice.

Good Luck

7

1.6 or 1.8?

8

thats gonna be a fun little car :tup:

9

yea you will definitely get the rear loose some since my car is 200lbs heavier and is at about 140WHP i can get it loose a little at when im on it

10

Sweet little project. This is probably jsut me but why the hell cant people keep their engine bays clean? First thing I do when I buy a car is buy some purple degreaser and have at it on the engine bay with a full bottle and pressure washer. After that some elbow grease and Armorall to make everything shiny. I cant stand dirty engine bays. I hate working on dirty ass engines. Sorry just a little rant.

11

:carnut looks fun

12

At 5 psi is the intercooler and all the extra piping needed?

I really don’t know… seems like you could save some lag there… Just a curiosity question. Definitely a great pick up for 400 bucks

13

actually looks rather clean, I think the bad lighting (contrasty) and shitty cell phone pic doesn’t help?

14

love you

15

Nice!

16

Just for you when I finish this up, I am going to skeet skeet skeet oil all over the bay and take pictures.

Agreed.
But How long do you think i will stay at 5 psi?
I give it 2 days…

17

nice!

18

Hahhah, will look so tight after that.

19

Oh wow, didn’t even know you had stuff bolted up already. Fun fun <3

:tup:

I would love to see it in action

God this is the exact reason why I wish I had garage space to work :frowning:
