Heres some more pictures guys!

Car at teh shop


All new bushings


Powder coating control arms and stuuuuuff to keep from rusting



Preping pulleys for powder coating


New bearings for the supercharger


Milling the fuel rails


While we are in there.... NEW starter =D


Intake mani


Milling the Plenum for the IACV



changing some things on the plenum to use a Blow off valve in place of the recirculation valve. Yes technically it will still be a recirculation valve but it will sound like an atmospherically vented blow off valve when I shift.







Painting random brackets and stuff with glitter paint, Why? because real men rock the glitter and are ok with it.






A hint at the motor. The supercharger will be Black next time you see it. and the wires will all be hidden if i have time. Get a little taste of that new rad. Look at all the room you get by removing that stupid hydrolic fan set up...

Can't wait to see it finished Grant. It's amazing how far your car as come along since when you first messaged me about wheel fitment and when you first joined the forum.

Holy effing scheiße Batman! The beast is emerging.

I'm sure you've already answer this but I'm too lazy to go read through all 11 pages of this thread to find out, which manifold adapter did you use or is it custom?

How bout it. I was thinking about that the other day.... how I thought i stumbled apon some great car myth with the 1j swap... so glad i grew up. Its amazing how much knowledge iv gained from everyone here, You included. My build hopefully reflects how much you can really learn if you just listen and are motivated. Thanks for the words of wisdom
