Looks pretty good in the engine bay! Do you think you could take a pic from directly above the engine bay to show everything in there real well? Also could you take a pic of the ground clearance when the car is on the ground? Thanks in Advance.

It looks like smooth sailing for you buddy. Great job.

Kit looks great. Car looks great. I'm sure it'll perform killer.

It's so nice when a plan comes together like that!

Kudos,
Vince

Tuning on hold.
My tuning interface for some reason just stopped working. Only had it a month and used it maybe 10 times for logging and changing my VE tables. The company said they never heard of a unit just going bad, but asked me to send it back so they can see what's wrong. Sux, cuz I can't really drive the car with the uploaded tune now, as I was in the tuning VE via SD no MAF and running her rich for safety. Turbo set up has been installed about 3 weeks, but haven't been able to have any fun with it yet. I hope to report back in a few weeks with a BIG OLE SMILE.

he probably wants to see where the pipes are all routed on the passenger side. K-member has to be notched slightly and reinforced to make the downpipe fit real nice, which i included and did for max with the kit. Everything tucks perfectly and allows for normal driving even on those crazy driveways or monster winn dixie speed bumps ....Seriously though, ground clearance is MUCH better than what i had on my pacesetter long tube/3" offroad y-pipe setup back in the day...
