So it looks the same as it has, but in this pic, it is capable of running and does... lol



Been driving it for just over a week now and it does need some tweaking

Gonna do the things on my list this weekend and see how that goes.

Once school starts and i get the rest of my tuition money, Im gonna get my 4 inch exhaust installed.
4 inch downpipe to 4 inch straight pipe all the way back

Then once its running right, gonna repaint the calipers I think... Im feeling a Hot pink with glow in the dark clear and prism flakes.

I also think Im gonna grab a spare auto and build it up til I get around to putting together my manual swap.

Nope, dont feel like messing with it. This one works fine until it doesnt. I may build another stock one for a backup, but Im doing a manual swap one of these days. Just have to buckle down and buy the parts.

The tranny cooler is in line with the radiator one as well. its hanging on my AC condenser. Its pretty big, and ive not had any issues with my tranny really. Slight slippage in first but locking the line pressure cable took care of that.

bought it like that honestly, i would assume it would be fairly simple to trace it out and use a dremel.

You can use a hole saw. Summit has a kit on clearance for 12.95. It has a 5 inch hole saw. Trace it out and cut half on the coil cover and half on the timing.

Turbo drain is leaking at the turbo.... FML... have to pull that out and fix it.

Still running rich as hell too.

Any idea why it's leaking? Where did you buy it? So you're running rich with the gte ecu mod and going COP?

Its just from pulling the turbo off and putting it back in 100 times. Not a big deal. I just have to reseal it.

I think I either have a bad map or... im not quite sure what the problem is. Im gonna look into it more today.
