yes so far everything seems easy to service like it would be on a stock setup I can access my O2 sensors very easy, change my oil filter easy aswell, stock radiator hose, the only thing ive had to sacrifice to this point is my windshield wiper fluid resivoir so i could route the IC piping but ill just make a tank and relocate it =) lol.. oh and im in Miami so keeping the AC was a must!

Default it works!

well guys today i took it out for a spin!! it feels like the tranny came stock on the car!!.. the gears go in so smooth! Im really happy, the car is running on a half tank which half of it is 3 year old gas and i drove it for about 8 minutes what a great feeling people would break neck when they heard the v8 spooling the t70 up.. i can hear the turbo over the engine it is very quiet.. I couldnt do a video the phone died..

freakin amazing build bro. just read through all 9 pages of it. Only thing i can suggest is you really shouldnt be running 3 year old gas. Id empty the tank first and refill it with some fresh fuel.
