Jp nice updates dude keep em coming! :tup: |
going on a 4 day florida trip first week of Feb then when I come back the car is hitting a rack in the shop, this is going in and prob an oil cooler and sending the wheels to be PC'ed.
|
I never trust the weather predictions, but they are saying Feb, is winters last hurrah and it will be a warm March and April, I sure hope they are right!
|
Hey, we been dumped on in March before. :eek:
|
Got the car on the rack today, was awesome since it was a nice day, went for a spin around town. wheels and intake tubes come off tomorrow and go to get pc'ed on Thursday, then the clutch and flywheel going in, stillen oil cooler is on its way!
|
Tires dismounted, everything is off the trans, just ave to take the cross and bell bolts out tomorrow and it will be off. Should have the clutch and flywheel in tomorrow if it is a slow day at work.! Stillen gold series oil cooler on the way, they extend their new years sale, killer price!

figured I would do rotors too, ordered r1 slotted rotors
|
|
i wish i was a mechanic and a MBA grad. that is really impressive!!
hows the new clutch?? |
Not a mechanic by an stretch of the imagination just a self taught DIYer with access to a shop and tools! The Wheels are at the powder coaters as well as the intake tubes,so it is not going anywhere for a while. I am going to Florida for 5 days to visit my Grandparents starting tomorrow, when I come back the wheels will be done, but the oil cooler and rotors will go on then back into storage till spring, just wanted to get this stuff out of the way so I do not was precious spring time!
|
South bend clutch knob, haven't driven with it yet, but it has a nice weight increase!

Got my wheels and intake tube back from the powder coaters. Still have to put on my R1 Concepts rotors, so I mounted the tires and threw them on just to see how it will look.

:tup:nice and clean!!
|
Finished up all my recent mods, did the stillen oil cooler today, mounted my r1 concepts slotted rotors and remounted my newly powder coated wheels with pained lugs and dipped center caps...it was a good day for the girl!

Kelly hood dampers and M370 manifold! This give the low end intake growl the car was missing! Cant get on it too much, only 150 miles on the new clutch, but the mid range feels strong! Taken before the strut bar and cover went back on, it does fit.
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps2686281b.jpg I was not thrilled with the solution of the manifold sensor by motordyne, so I used a little pvc adhesive to hold it in secure. http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps238e6255.jpg |
Installed Koni yellows! These things are FANTASTIC!
http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps52d019a1.jpg http://i609.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps61b10e41.jpg |
Nice, looks good! Can you take a side profile with the Koni's? Do you think they lowered the car a bit more?
|
I will snap one tomorrow, they should not have, they are manufactured to be stock replacements as far as I know.
|
What are your impressions of the Koni's vs. stock shocks?
|
There isn't one, everyone running stock shocks is not aware of hwo bad their car handles.
