Sorry. leatherseats.com I will get pics of the interior, but it will be a bit. I have to clean it up and it is low priority right now with all the mechanical stuff needing to be finished.

Ok, here are some interior shots. Don't mind the ugly discolored wheel. i have another one ready to go in when I get time.











And here is another shot of the engine with the intake piping finished.

Thanks! It runs great, but it needs valve guide seals. Puffs a little blue smoke on cold startup I guess it's to be expected since this motor has 100k on it. Still, it sucks to have a nice quiet smooth SC and have it puff on startup.

I have the seals and the tool came in too, so I know what I am doing this weekend.

Yeah I bought the Ferrea vitons from MVP myself. Had I thought about it, I would have done them while it was on the stand. Now I get to break my back leaning over the car.

Yeah found a good deal. Plus its rebuildable and can give me some serious power. For the ac clutch other than the removal and install tools, which other tools are required?

Tools you will need for the AC clutch are a 10mm socket and a pair of snap ring pliers. And maybe a couple big screwdrivers to pry the pulley off with.

So i wont really need those fancy tools specifically made to remove the ac clutch? That would be great if i didnt cause i would have to buy them lol. So when will your car see the 1/4mi? Will you be running on stock boost?
