Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang that looks really nice so far!!

I like how you stuck the radiator UNDER the cross support instead of cutting it up! Nice work.

And all we have to do to start it is put some connectors on fuel lines and hook up the battery.

Looks great! Which way do you plan to run the exhausts? Twin dumps or what?

Put some rubber isolators on it from an MSD ignition box and it will quiet down ALOT.

Where are those pumps?

Also, why did you redo the whole set up? I thought you were done before?

Pumps look like they are in the T-top area of the hatch.


All I can say is, that looks mean. How do you have, or are you going to tie the front subframe in?

We are redoing the entire thing when the 4-link goes in.

And yes the are A1000s, and I'm never "done" with my car, its actually only had a few hundred miles on it in the past few year. I need to quit modifying it and start enjoying it, my initial goal for the car was to just have a 10 second DD.

Twin dumps at the moment, we need a tubular kmember before the exhaust will run under the car, then it will be a turndown type of setup
