did alot of work last week on my day off (wed&thurs) since i am trying to make it to a local drag race event that is this coming sunday. but the way things are looking it doesnt seem like i will make it & i dont wanna rush things since its 6 days from now. but the good news is, its almost done =)
last week, i drill and tap my xspower ffim and also welded a GTE iacv flange on it
that day i also picked up some blank garrett endtanks to weld up on my garrett 4.5 intercooler
welded up to the core
=)
made this bracket for the powersteering reservoir that i made
welded up
and mounted

i will not be running a front sway bar, this car is gonna be for drag racing and since its going straight im not worried about the sway bar. by removing the front sway bar it gives it better suspension travel to the rear.
im located in the bay area, ca
i could of cleared the sway bar if i ran one. but i think this route is way better then cutting up the pass side.

weather was pretty ugly today, it was pouring here and there. so i couldnt do much since my car is outside.
when i was pulling the motor out, we got into a lil accident and hit the a/c radiator. so today i welded it up.
prep'd the area to be welded
and then welded shut
i also installed the trans cooler onto the a/c radiator while i had it out of the car already.
ill be ordering some materials for my exhaust, planning to go 4" from the dp all the way to a split dual 3" to a vibrant 1127 muffler.

im a budget builder, and if the GE has been proven to be almost the same as the GTE bottom why not? the only thing what the GTE has over the GE is they have alot of camshaft options.
