7/24ish:

I determined this lip was bad for tires.

 ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/1011357_10200190068901944_1777088509_n_zpsa4e9d341.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/1011357_10200190068901944_1777088509_n_zpsa4e9d341.jpg)

So I rolled it over and painted

 ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/1016802_10200190160664238_1680929961_n_zps8ea696fd.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/1016802_10200190160664238_1680929961_n_zps8ea696fd.jpg)

Then rolled the fenders after horribly bending them drifting because they werent rolled

 ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/74920_10200190229265953_1216923771_n_zpseee0f0a8.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e295/mrdudex5/74920_10200190229265953_1216923771_n_zpseee0f0a8.jpg)

8/06ish:

I got proper intake manifold block-off plates

![https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/523425_10200252045051309_777499166_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/523425_10200252045051309_777499166_n.jpg)

Then random pictures:

Finally actually registered rather than dealer plate

Then on 8/18:

8/26…another random picture

![https://sphotos-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/582004_10200358152023917_1726002387_n.jpg](https://sphotos-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/582004_10200358152023917_1726002387_n.jpg)

8/29…this:

So I figured it was time to install some stuff I’ve had for a while. Solid motor mounts, poly trans mount etc.

![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1240615_10200386947063775_1742385614_n_zpsf10ba6e9.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1240615_10200386947063775_1742385614_n_zpsf10ba6e9.jpg)

Poly tension rod bushings while I wait for the ASCO adjustables

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1236072_10200380013690445_1765353740_n_zpsed4d287f.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1236072_10200380013690445_1765353740_n_zpsed4d287f.jpg)

Ditched the cheapo Sunpro boost gauge that sucked for a Autometer I got free

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1003534_10200386179204579_1246818568_n_zps5292fa8e.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1003534_10200386179204579_1246818568_n_zps5292fa8e.jpg)

Newer CAS just to see if any changes occured…none did,

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/992990_10200386207565288_1275485070_n_zpsa130c892.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/992990_10200386207565288_1275485070_n_zpsa130c892.jpg)

Then TODAY…

SO, while drifting I could only go for so long before it’d start to run warm because the maxima fans suck balls. I decided it was time to go to the good old trusty Taurus fan.

Step one was pulling the bumper cover

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1173597_10200396374939466_1684922208_n_zps43ff5247.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1173597_10200396374939466_1684922208_n_zps43ff5247.jpg)

I got the maxima fan removed and the taurus fan in…the next issue was my intercooler routing. I had to cut some of the taurus fans shroud down so the pipe could go over it.

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1238191_10200396648306300_1208632367_n_zps67d92c6c.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1238191_10200396648306300_1208632367_n_zps67d92c6c.jpg)

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1148890_10200396649506330_1144106605_n_zpsfbad7622.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1148890_10200396649506330_1144106605_n_zpsfbad7622.jpg)

So i got it all back in and wired up and such.

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1175726_10200396675946991_295319661_n_zpsfe344f2a.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/1175726_10200396675946991_295319661_n_zpsfe344f2a.jpg)

I then noticed once the bumper cover was back on and the hood was shut…as soon as the fan turned on the car would want to stall or would stall. SO, the solution was a shield/cover for the air filter to keep the air/turbulance from the fan down…its not the prettiest, but it works! Function \> form (for the most part)

 ![http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/562314_10200396842751161_725592042_n_zpsf319f7f1.jpg](http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad134/SavannahZCar/562314_10200396842751161_725592042_n_zpsf319f7f1.jpg)

Drifting Sunday…we will see how she cools.

I’ve never been a big fan of this body style but for some reason, but you’re doing something that makes it appealing. I really think it’s the stance and the different wheels that make this look right. Keep it up.
