Well I tried to hook up my CAT and exhaust tonight but, the O2 housing is not the same line out as the R/T manifold. So I have figure out how to adjust the line out.

But was able to get the car on the ground to prepair for the move tomorrow..

Lionheated... Here you go. Its a tight fit, and I will need to readjustments once we finsh up the engine bay...

Nice man, now that is what I wanted to see :lol:
So I'm guessing the battery will not fit with the intake mounted? That is what I was really getting at as far as mounting issues on a 2.0.

What's wrong with your door panels? They look pretty nice. :)

And yes Apexi is sex!!!

I'm glad that worked for you man. I think the stock battery will still fit it will just be a "tight" fit for the time being. When I redo my trunk ( after the car is running) I'm planning to relocate it to the trunk somewhere.. lol

I like the idea of the panels, but the way they were done wasn't the best and I paid 700 bucks to have them fall off the panels, and then had the body shop that worked on the car fix them again... They aren't flush with the rest of the door...

yea yea.. LOL I think it add favor to the motor.. Its on my "to do" list, MP has a new catch can comming out, or I'll purchase the Boomba one to go with the fuel rail and motor mounts.

Well I have a bit of an update...

with the help from Z3roneo (Issac) with the Headlights breaking them apart. Yo Da best man..

I started to mock up the projectors for paint.

Image

Here they are prepped.. (not sanded yet... if I should do that or what...)

Image

Need to figure out what grit sandpaper I can use on the projectors.


*EDIT*

I also picked up the rest of the fuel fittings for the BEGI Reg. I still have to find the boost lines from somewhere... no auto store here has them... grrrrr...

Nice. you can use any grit. I would use 320 to knock the shine off the chrome paint (you wana make the paint look dull), whip it down real good, then prime it, then paint.

For your boost lines, use vaccum hoses from any auto parts store. Its the same rubber hoses that you use for the windshield wiper squirters. I used fuel line hose from autojoke instead so I wouldnt have any issues with the hoses collapsing.

I would also suggest getting a vacuum manifold/block to make it easier running the boost lines and making the engine bay look much cleaner than having vacuum tees everywhere.
