HA thats crazy! I couldn't believe the rod didn't break and it more amazing that other people have bent it the same way!
 
Was this car on Ebay a few months back? Either way, nice build. What is the offset on the wheels? They look great on the car.
 
Yeah kind of had a financial crisis for a while but I made it out and decided not to sell it. Didn't even get one offer on it either.

The wheels are Rota G-force 17x8 w/+45 in hyper black.
 
Stock rad took a dump. The slim fan that was part of the CS FMIC kit some how punctured it. Back on jacks waiting on parts to do a new rad and fan shroud. Also clocking turbo and relocating the BOV, should be interesting :)

Progression so far. Just waiting for parts. The clock was amazingly easy just had to drill and tap 2 new holes and throw it back together.

Mishimoto Radiator, got in yesterday. Just waiting on the hot pipe parts and BOV flange which will have to be welded on.

Yeah it is. On page 6 post #82 you can see it on the cold pipe just under the air filter. Works great
 
ITS ALIVE AGAIN!! Here are some more pics. Turbo now spools at like 2200 RPMs!

Installed. Don't worry I painted it matte black after the test start.
