I am contemplating selling my triple disc 2b converter. Out of curiosity, what are they asking for the one you are thinking about?

This is totally random, but when I looked at the pic...and seen your brake pedal....I immediately thought "anti lag". But reality is, it says "anti lock" 😂😂. Yea I know....I'm burned up.

I had my eboost mounted there. It's a good location to see while you're driving.

With the manifold and downpipe like that, how is plug and wire access? Do you think they can be changed relatively easily or would you have to pull parts off to get to them?

The car is pretty easy to work on. But I do think the downpipe has to be slid out for plug changes. No big deal though.

I thought you were keeping ac? Why block a vent with a gauge? Afraid of it overheating? Lol. why not just do an a pillar pod or a column pod if you are trying to be stealthy?

I'm fine losing 1 vent. I'm not trying to be sneaky at all with this car. The turbo is in the headlight so that's pretty obvious. It has the wastegate dumped out the fender and 3ft of 4" exhaust. It's loud and proud man, far from a sleeper.

Was going to get the motor stabbed then I remembered I still need to tap the sides of the block for knock sensors. It's really close to first start up. I need iac,tps, oil pressure and fuel pumps for the 2nd time

Tapped the sides of the block for the knock sensors and got the turbo drain in the pan. Also got the engine and Trans back in the car. The car is very dusty from body work though. I also ordered an ls3 intake that should be here Thursday.

Didn't want to fork over $100 for the lokar flexible dipstick so I made one with some 8an hose I have and the ends of the factory tube.
I coated it with rtv just to make sure it seals but I think it's going to work great.

It's in the car now and took 2 minutes to install instead of fighting the factory tube.

Finished up my downpipe today. Made a turndown, welded an o2 bung and the vband.
Sprayed it and wrapped it. It's 4" FYI.

Also picked up some Trans fluid, motor oil, and Trans filter. So I'll get it all topped off tonight.

My good friends live just outside of Houston. It'a beautiful area, I wouldn't mind living there once I'm done with the Navy.

What is all that is left?

Ya I live just outside Houston as well. Not much is left. Trans cooler lines, install new fuel pumps and just a bunch of small odds and ends.
