Nut_N_Much · 05-03-2013, 06:57 AM

I have to lear how to do the Spoilers to continue the Moto pics. Don't want you guys getting a smack down at work..

MX52Z · 05-02-2013, 07:49 PM

Wow! Not that there's any self interest on my part but will this be driveable by the 7th?

Update:

I didn't spend much time on the car today but I did get some stuff done. All the hoses are built and routed. While I was finishing up the pump hose the Fed Ex truck pulled up.. He dropped off my battery cable I need to move the battery to the trunk..

Next I test fitted the compressor. My god it was PITA to get in there. Its amazing (5) of these little bolts hold the hole thing on the front of the engine. Once I got it lined up and got the grand wires re-mounted I saw the drive cog is really close to the upper A-Arm nut. I have a plan to stiffen the flex plate but for this I thing I'll let it idle and hold a metal cutting saw blade on it and cut 1/4 inch off

.. Depends on my medications !!!

I got back to work and fabed this up.. It is supposed to keep the hole thing from flexing under heavy load. I'll try to get to a welder later and weld some washers on there to firm the mounting point up. I like it! Looks good and is adjustable.. Bling

Tonight I'll take a show with the heat exchanger and intercooler.. They are full of calcium build up..

Have an awesome weekend, please Rep +1 if you like..

Is there a reason why you didn't cut the small bracket off near the pully?

Man I wish I could but the weird thing is that its the only thing holding your upper A-Arm in place. Strange isn't it. That little tab and bolt hold the hole left side of the upper A-Arm in place.

I was going to trim it back, but I decided to go ahead and have the pulley turned and remove 1/4 off the outside lip. Kelly and I pulled the compressor out today so I can remove the pulley..

Update:

Chptr11 came over at about 0800 and we went to work on the battery relocation. I had 16 ft of battery cable that we ran along the passenger side up into the battery compartment. There is a rubber boot for one of the wire looms that goes into the car. It was a perfect spot to run the cable.

I used the stock battery for now and hammered out a bracket to hold it in place. The issue we had was the 20 feet of sound deadening we had to cut though to get to the metal.. Found a good ground point next to the battery and ran the lines along the interior panels.

Bob did a great job, he did most of it as I can't lean over yet.. Thanks Buddy you rock for coming over on a weekend and dropping everything to help an old war horse out.. "Lights

Really!? Wow! I should have taken a better look at it. I thought they were bolt retainers for the stock air boxes.
