Damn. What would y'all do without Kevin? lol
same thing, just take longer, be uglier, messier, break more things, and be cold. It's nice having a garage.

Tonight will be the intake manifold, motor mount, and maybe exhaust.
Wastegate actuator will be here Thursday.
 
Oh, my, an automotive project taking longer than expected. Whodathunkit? ;)

:D Yah, right? You take the original time assessment multiply it by the number of people who will have their hands on the car divide by the cumulative years of automotive experience they have times the square root of the numbers of beers imbibed and that's how long it will take to actually complete the project.

lol, I'm surprised it took you this long to find it.

If it were me, it would have taken months before I noticed it.
 
Hey all - remember to snap some pics tonight so the progress is documented. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be there to be taking pics of the hineys of those working on the car...so someone else will have to do it for me. :)
 
soo while laying under the car tonight bolting up the motor mount that didnt get finish last night i start reflecting on the current progress of where we are at and whats left. Then i remember the crank girdle has to go on because its has the hole tapped in it. Well guess what got put on last night while i wasnt there...the trans that was originally taken off to get the two bolts out to take off the crank girdle...DOH!!! the only saving grace is the fact that not only did the LSD get installed but there would have been no way to support the engine to do the girdle since we didnt have an engine cradle
 
Intake manifold and throttle body went in today. Also tightened up all the tranny bolts.


Also found a spot for the MAP sensor that came with the boost gauge. It looks like stock.


Tomorrow we'll put the axle in, and run some wires.

You know, as long as you're adding power, you should really just convert to RWD! How hard could it be?
