I love my paint, but haters gotta hate.... no turbo yet. Not sure if I even want to go down that route with this one.

All these pics, and Teklein's car, really make me realize how much I need a DC strut bar. I also really need to update my engine bay.

I don't know does it really help that much on handling with these cars? I thought it was more like extra eye candy?

A strut bar in general does help. Upon seeing a DC one in person makes me think it is much stronger than the eBay one. Although I spent like $45 on a front and rear set from ebay, so hard to beat that price. Although I would say for serious autoX, and higher powered launches, I could see a nice strong strut bar out performing an ebay. I am of course talking front strut bar only. I don't see the rear bar being stressed enough to require anything beyond ebay.

The car feels like its on rails with the front and rear (upper and lower) installed. TIGHT!!

Clean stuff. I'll post mine up after the HAHN 20g install!

As an engine bay thread, and you taking a picture with your hood closed, I say you lose. start a new thread please, don't hi-jack.

Don't know if this thread is still going, but here's mine. Rebuilt her myself. Haven't found a decent radiator to replace the old rusted one with, any suggestions areappreciated. Previous owner used mostly water, thus explains the rust.

Paint used:

VC - VHT SP204 Red
Intake Manifold - VHT SP 735 Cast Aluminum
Head - SP127 Universal Aluminum
Thermostat Housing - SP127 Universal Aluminum

 

[Fotowntalon]

Extremely clean for be a stocker. Very nice. For a radiator check here Radiators, automotive radiators, condenser, oem radiators, truck radiators

Glowryder, does that turbo, manifold, and DP look familiar? It had a little more shaft play than you let on, but I'll see how it runs when I fire here up here in the next few days.
