Default Getting closer

The engine and trans officially rejoined the car tonight.

Only snag was the a-arm swap to the k-member. Looks like PA neglected to tell me a k-member modified for turbos requires the use of tubular a-arms. I wasn't planning on them, but oh well. Got lucky and "borrowed" a set from a local guy that had them. He's still waiting for his k-member to arrive. Definate life saver.

Plumbing is next <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

new brake lines, oil and coolant feeds to the turbos, fuel, oil return, air plumbing, etc.

But the motor is in the car <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

now if my intercooler core would just show up already, i'd be set <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

i can almost smell the race gas <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" />
