Yes it is Brett. Sorry John, it was straight too. I didn't really want to let it go, but I don't have enough space to keep it. Too bad I didn't know you needed it when I was passing by your place.

Mocked up the turbo just to see how it would fit this weekend.

Got a few more things done in the last few weeks. Old 7 bolt and trans are out. Leather interior swapped in. New sub frame is sandblasted, painted and re installed with urethane bushings, rebuilt steering rack is installed, new ball joints, tie rod ends and Powerslot rotors with Hawk racing pads are installed. Eagle Talon front bumper is on and trimmed for the FMIC. Five speed shifter cables and shifter base are in. Clutch pedal assembly has been swapped and the new 3" exhaust has been mostly installed to check for fitment.






Holes cut out for the clutch master. Looks a little messy because of a previous hole for some gauge wiring.

Needed more space for real car parts, haha.

Fun times with wiring harnesses!


Modified the auto wiring harness to get rid of unnecessary plugs, have a functional backup light switch and have some spare wiring to the engine bay in the factory harness for future expansion.

NO! BAD COLE! Do NOT solder the wiring harness. Or if you do put toothpicks or something in to strengthen the soldered joints.

Learn from my mistakes, bad solder joint (cracked when bending the wiring harness into place) cost me a moda!

Finally after a very long wait my bottom end has arrived!! Its a G4CS with Ross 9.0:1 pistons, Eagle rods, ACL race bearings, Kiggly Racing main girdle, ARP hardware and a balanced rotating assembly. I also had the block machined for oil jets for added safety.





A big thank you to Ryan for all his help taking parts to the shop for me and shipping me random parts!
