In this close up shot of the blower I spent quite a bit of time sanding and smoothing out the weld bead on the elbow of the blower and the rough castings on the case, before having it polished. I decided to paint the inside webbing of the SC bracket and the blower webbing black for some contrast with all the polished areas. The Stainless steel hose clamps were polished as well. You could say I went crazy with my buffer.

HAHA, not meaning to tease, but I didn't take any recent shots of the rest of the car. I kinda want to hold out until I get several new exterior mods completed. You should be able to dig up old threads with the exterior shots though.

Right now the focus is on the engine. With all the delays, I really wanted to get dyno #s before showing the SC, but I ran out of time and am just happy to get the car back together in time for the Toyotafest meet.

Off Topic - I oversee the engineering operations in Austin for my company here in NorCal. We should hook up the next time I am in town. Plus I wanna check out your sweet ride !

Thats funny, I'm originally from Nor Cal. Lived in Sac for 11 years and just recently moved out here. Hit me up when you come out.

The engine shots are just amazing Glen!

Your attention to detail is second to none! I need to buy some of those stainless steel sleeves/covers for all the pipes in my engine bay. What is the best place to find such things?

Always classy, tastefully done, and with extreme attention to detail.
"The Passionate Pursuit of Perfection" really fits.

Default Very clean!

Glen, your attention to detail is sickening! I thought I was **** about details, but your small touches here and there on your car brings it to another level! Nice upgrade with a super clean whip!
