Thats it? Thats all we get? I know there has to me more.
i started on the work yesterday and im pretty much on track to finish tonight...thats pretty much it...i actually did most of it yesterday but forgot to post about it...straight forward install for the most part, the only major issues were a tight fitting oil return line, some clearance issues between my actuator mount and the block/transmission, and a few small issues that i have or am in the process of working out...not really enough to warrant a full thread...but for the info, its a stripped down msp turbo setup (no heatshields at all) with corksport j-pipe and unintercooled til my fmic arrives next week...

heres some pics for those curious...

do ya got pics? I know to use search, but is this mod to improve the wipe coverage? i.e. top center of rear window never gets wiped.

I am about to wash my car. I will take pics then. I will post in a couple of hours.
 
I haven't even seen my car today. It's been pouring rain all day, so I didn't want to get her all dirty :)

maybe I'll go rev her in the garage haha.
 
new set up, powder coated valve cover and wires....

Looks good Mark, as usual.....is it me or is it getting crazy with all these crazy d's around....haha.

Nothing much but a drive to the mall in the rain and then parked in the driveway in the rain. Stupid rain.
 
Washed the car tonight and the mp3 ecu install a couple nights ago was easy-peasy and it seemed to make a noticible difference on low and high end power.
 
Finished my new grill and did cable43's wiper mod. Retrofitting the grill w/ factory mesh sucks ass but is worth it in the end. The wiper mod is the easiest thing I have done yet. I think both turned out great! Let me know what you think.

New grill w/ OEM bottom grill painfully inserted.....

so after 10 weeks, I DROVE HER! She stumbled a little right when I craked her, but a little throttle cured that. Probably from the gas just sitting for so long. I must have posted this like 10 times so far:

After driving that damned rental impala for 10 weeks, Ol' Blue on stock suspension (changing soon :D) feels like a freakin go kart :D

I <3 her :)
