Have you tried photoshopping them a dark gunmetal? I think it would look with the blue

 

[justanothermp5]

Looks good. Are you going to can spray or PC?

Probably spray..i dont want to pay 80 bucks just in tire mounting and dismounting fee's lol plus one of the wheels was majorly curbed, so i fixed that with body filler...which the powder wouldnt stick too

Have you tried photoshopping them a dark gunmetal? I think it would look with the blue

this is the best i could get that looks gunmetal...i thinks its a little too bland

Ill prob stop by walmart, lowes, or autozone to look at spray paint and see what colors look good

and the parts still arent here....fedex must not come till 5, thought it came earlier for some reason

 

[justanothermp5]

ill just leave these here....

^^^^ like the turbo

J_Naoto i freakin love your LX....just sayin

 

[HKPRO5]

What are you going to do about your lower coolant line?

 

[justanothermp5]

It clears, but just barely, so im prob going to buy this http://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-universal-flexible-aluminum-hose-kit.html

i thought it wasnt going to clear at all, so im happy with the test fit, everything clears, and nothing is going to need cutting or welding...
Ill have to push the upper hose down to clear an intake and ill need to clock the turbo to align the oil inlet/outlets and move the compressor outlet away from the block

a few more pics...to show the clearance, BTW, i put the blue tape on there lol i didnt want s*** getting in the turbo

its a tight fit to say the least...going to need to make a heat sheild for the radiator

inside the wastegate adapter

...drooool

 

[CheeseHelmet]

You gotta love it when a plan comes together

 

[justanothermp5]

yes, yes i do, and right now im already running into some problems

turns out, garrett decided it would be a good idea to use SAE bolts for the oil drain and oil feed, so I have to go buy those
also turns out, that the stock MSP oil feed is NOT 1/8NPT...the side that attaches to the tee, and the tee itself is, but not the fitting to the turbo...sweet gotta buy a -4an line and 2 1/8NPT to 4AN fittings. Also Just ordered the rest of the parts I need for the turbo assembly, (V band, v band clamp, alum piping, clamps, etc..) so as soon as that comes in, hopefully by friday, then i can get this thing running again

^DAYUUMMMM, that was your P5?

today, mocked up the IC pipes and the DP, cut the bracket on the bottom of the radiator that holds the fan, pounded the AC line in a bit, and everything clears perfectly

 

[CheeseHelmet]

That's looking awesome

 

[Lewis7789]

Badass. I demand video when it's running again. Or you should come to the Mitty in GA at the end of April so I can see it in person.

Equinox's P5-T (Reagan)

muthafucka rolled with one BRIDE seat in that beech haha... good times. CitizenPro raced him when he had his MSP back in the day. Some Dallas Meet in front of a dyno place where everyone met up. I was was sitting in the back of his hatch to even the odds, where as my brother had his wife in the front seat.

Wish someone could post the vid who ever had it.

OH trust me, there will be plenty of videos, first start up w/ open downpipe, first run, and possibly even a dyno run (if i have it done before the 5th)...but what is this Mitty you speak of?
