Default Start-up video and pics after my LE2 upgrade

Instead of tacking these on the end of my build thread - here's a fresh thread with a video and some pics! (and before anyone says anything - I know I need center caps! )

I'm not a fan of Magnaflow...but dude that sounds nasty. Good job. Wish mine would idle by itself, needs some tweaking.

Is it just me, or does his starter need to be shimmed?

Yeah, My starter needs to be shimmed.
I put a McLeod flywheel on it, so it's a little out of adjustment. How thick a shim should I need? (I'll have to make some unless there is a handy set you can pick up at the auto parts store...)

Yeah, they don't grip very well off the line, but I couldn't pass them up for $95 each. Considering they are made by Michelin, and the ZR1s I bought had one brand new one already mounted...

Of course, once they have been worn out/burned off - I'll get something like Nitto DRs on the back and something sticky up front. (I'll need that Dana 60 then for sure!)

Funny you should ask that; they were supposed to be Corsa knock-off tips, but when I pulled them out of the box at the exhaust shop, I had two left tips! Of course I bought them on ebay like 3 months ago when I was getting my parts together so it's a little late to go back and complain. Never the less, I emailed the ebay company that sells them...still waiting to hear back.

So I ended up getting some generic stainless dual 3.5" tips from the exhaust place. They were the closest to the Corsas that they had. I prefer the staggered look, but they aren't too bad. If the ebay guys ever get back in touch with my I'll cut those tips off and put the Corsas on.
