looking good bro!! nice progress.
I can't wait to do the ls1/t56 off my friends ws6, the yellow one I painted.
The only thing im scared is the electrical part, now I was thinking of doing a complete interior swap with dash into the third gen, or doing what you are, getting gauges. Not sure what what would be easier. But nice set up! Can't wait to see it start and run.

got lots of plans for it. pretty much if you play Forza 4 buy the iroc, oaint it red and put all the forza bodykit stuff on it well thats what i want to do except for the canards up front( i know its ricer but i could care less). 6LE is willing to make me a splitter i just have to make a mock up. i would like to vinyl wrap the car matte white or red with the black hood but i think painting it red again is goin to be cheaper. ZEXGX is supposed to make the car for me and take a pic of it on the game but hes lazy. lol
heres one he did that sorta resembled the car how it looked.
heres a pic of the spoiler i wanna do:
cant find a pic of the splitter and diffuser at the moment.

That be sick love how last one looks, it be like the hawks 5inch wing. You should do it matte pearl white and with some gloss black and red badges.. im undecided what color I wana do my third gen too haha..idk i wana see an iroc with like 20inch irocs like the stock ones grey with black. It would look sick with stock hood and 5inch hawks wing and pretty low. Have u seen that blue iroc? Looks similiar to tpi terror? That kind of front splitter?

There are steam ports on the head in the rear that are blocked off. You can take the block off ports out and run a line to the front steam pipe with a t fitting. (coolant crossover tube) and vent it to your choice of locations. Its typical to see a port drilled into the water pump housing. The reason behind it is relieve the rear two cylinders of possible hot spots due to air pockets.
