Thanks guys.

Been working on the rear seat delete and still messing around on how I want to do this. I started cutting up some foam board to get an idea of how to get this going and I think the foam bard might be a good start. Very light weight and super cheap at 14$ for a 10x4 sheet. The entire sheet is more than half the weight of the rear seats.

Made a template out of some plastic cardboard I had laying around.


Than cut out the foam bard into three pieces so it can be removed easily. Nex thing to do is shape the edges so its a snug fit.

Still contemplating If i want to use the rear bottom half of the seat as a base or start from scratch. So I went ahead and took the leather liner off and shaped the seat around the passenger side bars to see what I can work with.

Committed I see? Any plans to re-enforce the leather with a "backer" where the cage meets up with the seat? Can't wait to see the end results of this monster!

So I've been messing with this idea all weekend long and I might be tossing the towel on this on. Its a bit complicated to work with and to make it look like an OEM fit. I may try to find an upholstery shop to get something made up or just spray on some carpet foam padding with a tan carpet that will match the interior and call it a day. Its a bit of a hassle and ALOT of work for whats it worth. We shall see.

your GE build has definitely got my thought process going since I have a spare GE sitting in my garage...

Good work bro!
cant underestimate the GE! the only down side is that there are less parts made to fit the GE specifically and cam sensor if you want to run aftermarket cams... but i hear BC is making 272 cams for the GE now with the gear on the exhaust side for the dizzy

Billet bottle warmer and bracket all in one. Loved the clean look of this so decided to get it from NitrousOutlet.

This is how I will be wiring it up. I think it should work. The line lock I may have armed through the bottle heater switch instead of the "Arm" switch. If I want to do a burn out, I can arm the line lock with the heater and not have the nitrous engaged while I do the burn out. Than flip it off since it takes about 15min to heat up the bottle. Hope that make sense.

And there she is. Plumed and wired in. Didn't get any pics of wiring but its just a standard relay to the pressure switch, than turned on by a Rocker switch.

Turned out great id say. I cleaned the factory trunk carpet as well just haven't put it back in. That fire extinguisher needs to be mounted inside on the cage somewhere so It can be assessed quickly. I've herd these work OK and not to trust them but its better than nothing I guess.

Feed line is routed along side with the fuel lines and the solenoids mounted in the bay. I still need to wire them in.

Main line solenoid and purge valve. The purge valve is vented through the cabin filter by a hard line.


Don't mind the dirty bay as it needs a good cleaning...
