heres some minor ones. im STILL waiting on my motor. its so close to being done. im just waiting on the machine shop. theyve had it since december but theyre the only shop around here that i would trust to do it right. its going in next week for the back half finally. it seems like things have slowed down a bit. im really dependent on other people right now to get this finished and it sucks because they are not as stoked as i am to get this done. i just got off the phone with jim at JM fabrications. hes doing an intake manifold for me for $450. his work looks great and ive heard nothing but good things about his product. buschur wanted $800 for his rwd intake and i was told by them that they wouldnt custom make it for me, id have to take it as is and have someone cut the runners to fit my master cylinder so i called magnus and they told me it would be about 6 weeks and right around $700 so i think JM is the way to go as soon as i have more stuff ill post it up. im expecting my turbo (scm61) next tuesday.

I love stuff like this. It's something I would never try, but always admire in other people.

Good luck and keep the info coming (this is exciting).

Awesome job so far. If you don't mind me asking, why such a little turbo with the Auto trany.

im very limited on space in the engine compartment. i almost bought the to4s housing but im gald i didnt as i have about .5" clearance between the turbo and the shock tower. this car is tiny. also for some semblance of streetability.

holy shnikeys that's a tight fit! What are you using for mounts? Will they allow a dangerous range of motion for that tolerance?

well there will be some BFH clearancing going on there ! im using mighty max MM and they are soft rubber but im also using a limiter arm so i dont tear a mount when i launch off the brake. ill probably have someone fab me up some solid motor mounts once everything is sorted out.

Good thing she is strapped down, although I must admit, the trailer surfing I got to do was kinda fun.
