Picture of scratched pipe is scratched. WTF is up with that rusty steedspeed? too tired to refinish it or too cold? (flame2)

I was on a crunch to get the car together, so I just threw it on.

I was thinking the same thing, some paint would do wonders. But that's still pretty awesome.

No one would give me an answer as to what paint would actually adhere and withstand the heat for any length of time.

My bad I didn't see your post. I painted my stock mani with some 2000* spray paint from autozone after I had it welded up. It's made for exhaust manifolds/headers. You are supposed to bake it at around 250 then 400 then 600 then put it on the car and let it run for a bit then it's supposed to be 'cured'. It's held up fine so far.

Did you grind off whatever that crap is on the flange of the steedspeed?

 

[Preferio]

Oh yeah, absolutely. I was just excited to get it and have it all finished and ready for install.

Picked up a CF hood last night... This car is going through a bunch of changes right now... Hopefully it'll be "complete" and done with in the spring.

 

[hornsfan10609]

It will never be 'complete and done with' who are you trying to kid? lol

FTC is installed as well as an ACT clutch set- currently running 20psi. Think I'm going to run 22psi and leave it at that. I had originally planned on 24psi.



I put the new clutch on in my driveway... With the most basic tools... It sucked, but I had it done in about 6 hours by myself.





Picked up a new spicy front bumper to install, too. Mine had been repainted by the previous owner and was done poorly and matched even worse.



This is my "apartment garage" as my girlfriend calls it. lol Not being able to do big jobs in my shop now forces me to do work at home.

When I was installing the new front bumper cover I took some pictures of my intercooler piping routing.

Collecting more parts... Every time I get rid of a lot, I acquire more!

I'd love to have them, actually.

All of the parts! That is an interesting oil feed setup.

 

[Preferio]

Well when you need an adapter made on a Saturday morning, that's what you get.

As long as it works
