Hater Just tryin to get it rollin before I'm forced to sleep in it

I actually considered it but figured it wasn't the effort in what little you see below the cooler level. Plus, I think there are plenty of other distractions goin on a "normal" person won't notice!

Damn, what a build.

You know the reason I got the back brace wasn't to hold the power, I thought it just looked better. After you reach the numbers on my MWC rear, whats another few hundred. You know exactly what I'm talking about after I saw that motor build of yours. Keep the pics coming.

Thanks Brian....as I mentioned before I wish I had the stones to do the underside of mine like you, but if I did I would never drive it!

ABS module looks sweet.

Mine is off right now, not sure I want it shiny more than want it running.

Nice work!

Psssst on Rain-ex Roberto.....

Packaged pretty tight but we got the passenger side to fit. We'll see once I put power to'm. Either way, came out really nice.

And after.....right at 1 1/4" of added clearance. Still might have to shim the K a little though Stupid intake.....

Thanks Ben...too bad I have to cover it with the also "modified" cowl screen, but once its all buttoned up should be hard to tell without looking at another car next to it. Might try and sneak the engine under it next week to confirm a few more measurements

Thanks buddy....just so happens, have to remove the booster which is now useless (again, STUPID intake), so going hydraboost which comes complete with pretty braided lines (your welcome)

Good thing you have ABS still or ur wheels would lock up like mine lol..

Thanks man.. I did go with those lugs.. very nice quality the only thing that pissed me off was that they only come in packs of 4 so I had to get 3 of ea. and have extras. I have 12mm up front and 1/2" in the back that's why I got 3 of ea.
