Clearanced the TSP long tubes to fit the UMI kmember. Wasn't much work to do so.







New belts for the SLP underdrive pulley setup.



FTP lid came in.



Bought a replacement inner boot.



New seal for the steering rack.





Clearanced the header around the steering shaft.

Yes, will be wiring up the electric water pump after work tonight. Also bought a Kiwi 3 to mess around with once it's up and running. Fitting the 3" exhaust up to the 3.5" headers is next on the list.

What headers are those or is the cradle that doesn't give room? I gained a lot of room with the UMI road race cradle. Looks great.

These are TSP 2” longtubes on UMI k member and poly engine mounts.

Great idea. My car is dirty and probably not worth washing, but good bikini car wash would make it worth while plus the car would get cleaned.

Received my HP tuners Pro via USPS. Surprisingly the car runs on the old tune. After adjusting for the larger MAF and cylinder volume, the idle is stable once again. This will be a learning curve for me. I've always wanted to tune my own builds.

Also need to realign the front suspension. I hit a large pothole and it threw off my toe.

Well after installing the exhaust, I was able to hear the engine run. I noticed a faint chirping sound coming from the center of the engine. After removing the belts the noise did not change. Drained the oil and found very small metallic flakes so the engine is coming out.
