Looks good, Another quick thing you can do is remove the hooks from the head (the ones used to pull the motor). Just keep them around if you ever need to use them. Just a suggestion.

yea i was actually just thinking about that lol they kinda stick out and look weird...i just dont want to lose them haha
gotta find some room in my tool box
 
well today i was going to helicoil my stripped out exhaust manifold bolt hole, and before i even started i found out my thunder manifold is cracked
fuckkkkkkk, so im gonna be selling the thunder manifold, corksport S and J, turbo (if anybody wants it), wastegate, OBX Underdrive pulley, wheels..and maybe some other stuff

and then im gonna buy a t3/t4, use the other manifold i have, buy a set of 440's from a local, make a downpipe out of mandrel bends and be done
 
well i figured it would be a good time to update, the next couple weeks are only going to be pics...i think its pointless to describe the pics if nobody is following the thread lol

Manifold looks familiar ;) I ran 19 psi with it w/o a problem ;) Also I know how u feel about a loss of intrest in build threads.......... I will be following now

Thanks again for the awesome deal on it lol and got a question, did you have any trouble clearing the thermostat housing with your downpipe?
its hard to tell for sure but i think my setup may hit..

Niiiiice, now post more pics!

lol i would, but it just started sleeting outside...there will be plenty more next tuesday (thats when my parts are due to arrive)
 
No I did not have a problem, that manifold set the turbo more towards the drivers side so my 3" downpipe cleared......... But jump into the group buy for the hell of it incase u change the manifold and have that problem in the future ;). I have that problem now and it sucks.......

Rob
 
Lots of us are following your build, Simon. We just don't post. ;)
 
I keep an eye on lots of builds for ideas and to learn from others mistakes... Keep it up.
 
Hey that wrinkled black looks pretty sweet. Great job on the tuck mang, can't wait to do one myself when I install my mani.

Keep up the good work!

i had no idea that my rusted midnight blue's beefier/tougher/manly-er twin car had a build thread lol
good s***
 
lol thanks for the support guys,

and kauai, the hood looks cool sometimes, but I had too many people asking me what was wrong with my hood...plus the rust was running off onto the paint leaving weird brown marks lol
I still have it, its rusting away outside...may put it on again, who knows
