Great build thread, got some ideas for my build after reading through this.
BTW, any more info on that cruise that the video shows, wouldnt mind the drive if its only several hours away.

Mine actually came from O'Reilly's, a local parts store. You can get them from a few sponsors on here, you'll just have to look....try Speed inc or Byunspeed for starters maybe.

thanks guys
i did the necessary modifications last night to allow for adjustment on the steering rack. the alignment shop is booked solid up to monday. i'm trying to get a vacation day so i can get it done....we'll see how that goes. If it gets aligned, i'll be putting miles on it all day

alignment is officially happening tuesday at 11:00...i'm bringing my chop saw, taps, and wrenches too just in case more adjustment it needed....i don't want to do this again.
i'm also selling my valve covers with the breather and cap. looking for $225 for the set if anybody is interested, i posted them in the FS section. i'm looking for some fabricated valve covers or one of the newer GMPP designs.
i'm heavily considering getting a different catch can as well. my revxtreme can is really aggrivating me. the draincock valve broke the first time i tried to open it....some little cheap weld or solder joint broke and i can't open it to see if anything is inside. the bigger issue is that it isn't actually SOM, it's more like the GTO or C6 orange, not sure which. i considered cutting it apart, removing the faulty drain valve, installing a new one, welding it back together, and painting it SOM...but that's a shitload of work i really don't want to do. i'd also like to switch up the mounting style/location of the can as well. it seems to draw attention to it and its location is counterintuitive to my reasoning for removing the power steering (because the reservoir was an eyesore, making the engine asymmetrical).

Here's an iphone video my buddy took on the way back from the alignment shop. it isn't the BEST quality (looks good on the phone though) but you get the idea. i noticed he was filming and did a 1/4 throttle 4th gear roll and short shifted to 5th, kinda looks like i'm hauling *** in the video though
