Hahaha, I think I have seen that picture. Which is how I knew it was red.



That TB setup looks pretty sweet.

Yea, I won't be using an electronic IAC, so it works out pretty well that way. And surprisingly, the quality of the ebay TB is top notch. Frankly, I was surprised.

So now, I just have to throw a big BOV on it, wire it, and drive it. Then I can start figuring out how I can afford Carlisle.

Riding with Jake and I and rooming with someone will make it affordable. It's what I'm doing, at least.

Yea, but I really would prefer to bring the car if I can. I would have to throw a regular seat in it to drive it that far, but with like 10 gas cans, I should make it there heh.

Anybody coming from this area that could tow it out there? Gas wouldn't be cheap, but it'd be a helluva lot more comfortable, haha.

when i pass through there we'll just tie on a tow strap

Hm....the yellow car still has a hitch on it...


It would pull a two-wheel dolly pretty easy......lol.

hmm... Not like Grrtrude weighs anything lol

Got the new radiator mounts figured out. Oh, btw, I'm using a scirocco radiator since it fits better and has same side in/out.

I'm bringing the car over to the new garage next week and Sam's car is done, so this car is now on the top of the list. It needs wiring, a few little things, and time to run. I also want a speedometer, but I don't think it's in the budget right now.

I'm finally getting stuff done. Boost pipes are coated, fitted, and on. On to the radiator next.

about time erick!!!


i can not wait for some vids!

this is a lot of progress... glad i lit a fire under your ass. not long now!

I just gotta find that other box of piping and couplers. I'm short 3 T-bolts. And autozone studs suck terribly for the intake manifold. Never buy them.

What the hell is that filter doing next to the Motor Mount?! Haha, that looks badass.

lol i was thinking the same thing..

It's a convenient place for now. I haven't set up the new garage with storage of any kind, so that's the closest place I could think of to the next place I plan to use it.

That or I'm doing a top-secret cooling system for my flux capacitor. I'll let you be the judge.

I vote top-secret cooling system for the flux capacitor.

All boost pipes, intake manifold, throttle body, cables, etc. are finalized. Now on to replacing a damaged oil drain line, making sure axles fit again, modifying the fuel system a tiny bit, wiring, and she's running.

x3

I figured it was just a place to put it till you got it hooked up, but it just looked pretty funny. Like an underwater Neon, and that's the air intake so the car can dive

lol the exhaust would have to be facing upwards aswell if it were to "dive" , just saying ...

Actually you'd probably want the exhaust facing down so the pressure of air escaping would keep water out of the pipes and by virtue, the turbo and head.

*removed my noobish response

Yes I figured as much, however if the water splashes up over the car (entering the puddle too fast, for example) it can get into the exhaust.

I'd be willing to bet that's an intake snorkel, not the exhaust.
