The air tools help A LOT.

The following day we installed tein coilovers onto travis' car and that took a little over an hour. The fronts took a lot of time but the rears were like 30 mins for both.

I really can not believe the amount of work you guys are getting done in the FREEZING cold! This week I have barely been able to walk from place to place and back to the car, much less work under a car!!

Layers are the key!!

Turbo kit is going to be here soon.. im estimating another week or 2. Should take us 2-3 days to have it installed and tuned. I wont be pushing more than 7psi until I can learn this AFC and see how the car runs before we really push it.

Took the car out like 2 weeks ago for a little drive around town and over to travis.

It runs well now minus the fact that it will randomly not shift into 2nd. lol. Ill fix the solenoids when I work on the turbo. Car is going on jackstands late next week for surgery to begin

Wow. You're not wasting any time at all. Are you shooting for a spring deadline? At this rate you won't have any problem meeting it.

We're trying hard for spring. But im sure its gonna be done for sure before summer kicks in.

We haven't done much work on the car lately. Just lots of prep work.

Yesterday I basically stripped the old leathers off the rear seats. Im gonna try tomorrow to start the fronts.

I also rewired the gauges properly, I actually took my time and crimped them properly, soldered and taped them with some good electrical tape. Once my AEM Tru-Boost gets here Ill wire that with the AEM wideband I have already.

I might make an attempt if I have some time to install the AFC II. God willing in another week the car should be on jackstands and ready to go.

Cool! I'll let you know if I come across anything I may need.


Finished my fittings. Looks to be sealed up properly. This is going to provide oil pressure, oil temp, oil feed for the turbo and a spot for the stock oil sensor.
