Where did you buy the ARP mani studs? I need to get some news for when I put the turbo on
His name isn't bleeped out anymore??? (boom06)
I just ordered AWR pass. & tranny mounts from there this morning.
I bought the 45mm length, so I could use the washers. Just know that you will need a 10mm 12-point socket, and wrench. For use with this particular MAM manifold, I had to grind the wrench down so that it would fit between the runner of the 3rd runner of the manifold, and the end of the stud.
Car drives f'in awesome after installing the AWR rear & front mount last night! Ordered AWR passenger & tranny mounts this morning. I'll have AWR 70's at all 4 sides in a couple weeks.
I'm probably going to wire up the supertones tmrw night, as well.
O and I should get my new tires in a few days, so I'll get those mounted on the new wheels shortly. Everything is coming along nicely... I'm not going to be able to get everything done b4 MWMF, but I think I'll be at a good place by then.
Sweet, UPS tracking for my new ADP says DELIVERED. So I'll throw that on tonight. Nice....
New shift knob should get here this week, too. Sweet

Okay good. Should I just go ahead and get the 45mm to use the washers just to make sure it holds the best?
So yesterday, I bought 15ft. of 4ga. power wire and re did my battery power & installed new terminals. Removed the old ground wires, and threw in a daisy-chain ground system. No more dimming headlights & struggling power windows!! Idles a little bit better too, maybe. I may just be imagining that, tho. haha
O ya, and I installed the Hella Supertones! Hooray for having a functional alarm again!! And btw, those horns are f'ing loud and obnoxious, haha. Their tone is very unique, I will say that.
AWR Passenger & tranny mounts are otw. Tribute windshield washer nozzles are also otw.
Muteki Blue anodized lugs are waiting to go on with the new wheels. I'm going to try to get prep done with the wheels by this weekend. Haven't worked on them for a week or so, been putting in work on the Protege this week. But, that way I can get the new tires mounted and take them home for paint this weekend, as well. (rockon)
I'll post some pics of a lot of this stuff this weekend or next week. I'm house sitting for my parents all week, and my laptop doesn't have the proper input to upload images from a memory card. (headshake

So I hit a huge ass pot whole with my right rear wheel trying to dodge one with my front and bent my strut. Now it looks like I have negative camber on one wheel, I ordered a new Tokico strut and top mount today for the right rear wheel. Freaking Texas roads!

That sucks, People get angry with me for driving so slow at times, but our roads here are so F'ed in places, it's just dumb. Steel plates/covers everywhere and huge potholes, it's BS. I pay taxes, so you bastards can fix the roads in a timely manner! Not wait until they are practically undriveable to repair them!

Anyways, I got my Tribute windshield washer nozzles in the mail yesterday. Used them this morning on the way to work, and OMG it's amazing! That and the Tribute nozzles actually fit properly in my VIS hood... I had to use some electrical tape around the washer fluid tubes to make the Protege ones stay in place. So all around they are pretty crispy.
I might head down to my house tonight & if so, I can upload pics; so a flood of pics of installs & parts may be coming...
What clutch do you run with your setup?
