Im liking the wrinkle black. When i get my FMIC piping, was thinking of powder coating the piping either silver or wrinkled. My VC is currently painted but needs to come off and get repainted too

new transmission arrived this morning. will hopefully be behind the wheel by the weekend
the wrinkle is looking very nice.
I have forgotten what brand of FMIC did you purchase ?
i might need some" how to" advice in time when i decide to install mine.
Today i ordered the Whiteline adj. front sway links to match up with the coilovers i finally have installed.
Since i cant find any one fabbing control arms anymore i might just upgrade to Whitelines bushing sets for now.
From Alan and JP at Edge. One of our beloved sponsors. Gave me a break and have already answered a bunch of questions for me.
lot going on with folks this spring ! nice to see.
8.5 what exactly let go ? with the trans ?
Hope you get her sorted soon : )
Nice folks.

Thats why you cant have nice things
Thats alot of damage. Root cause ?
You know why i ask these things brother. I also am on the road one cannot turn back from.
21.5 lbs on stock k04 tune was past the envelope at the track and things broke. Although the block stayed together and the head is fine. But i got a lot to learn and all the help i can get is appreciated before i build the next motor.
Define the weaknesses and address them.
PM if you please of course for the gorey details : (
learning curves can be bitches
he really cant.
i know ! i am cut from similar stock
