some pics of my winter project
« on: March 09, 2008, 03:29:25 pm »
I learned alot this winter (being an amateur home mechanic) installing a new clutch, turbo, fmic, fpr, and other goodies :)
Thanks to everyone who have been a huge help with tech support! lol

Nice car, Nathan :)

Where'd you find BOV recirc hose like that? I'd like to pick up some...doesn't have to be coloured either. My FMIC piping and FP intake make it difficult to recirc the BOV right now.

thanks guys!  I found the recirculation hose at home depot...hehe...it's pool hose, and blue was the only colour they had, which worked for me anyway.  yeah, the calipers are just stock with some shiny red paint :)
