lol i was waiting for that....

maybe you should have worked harder

to put it in perspective, we built most of everything. thats a LOT of money saved. i got VERY good prices on the parts. this car has been built to this point over a period of 4 years, AND i had a bit of money to offset the cost from the sales of my old setup + parts. other than that its from hard work. I work more than i go to school

lol, i was kind of stealing ideas from your build. i contemplated spliting the frame rail, but just didn't have the heart to cut into it at the beginning. now knowing what this took, i kinda wish i did for cooling purposes (not having the turbo so close to the rad), but what the hell. that's my only concern, but shouldn't be a problem. so props to you and stenod

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! almost there. It's been fun, but hopefully we aren't doing this again anytime soon. we are so close to having all of our cars runing at once. We're going to try and keep it that way for awhile. As usual it's been a pleasure working with you Turby.

yeah we used pics trying to get the alternator proper ( well i did anyways). ut it just would not clear the AFR's or the lip on the valve cover. So as a last minute, fed up, screw this thing kind of notion i grabbed the stock bracket and turned it upside down. Presto fits perfectly up there and the only thing you need is a spacer and support. But I def appreciate the photos of your setup!!
