athens7 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 :thumbs: That's why upgradeitis is such a powerful ailment-each successful treatment makes you feel great (without curing the disease), and primes the pump for the next one!
Mondo Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 :cheers: that looks great! Like Athens said... I'm sure you still have a list of things you'd like to do (as we all do). Now that you got the ECM, you just need to start saving for the turbo;)
RGTorque Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 yea, next is exhuast... after looking at my car the shop quoted me at $2500 for header with equal length runners and nascar style oval pipe out the read with QUIET muffers.
Keith Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Ken Hill did the Hydra installation, and he's an old coworker of mine. After driving the car, he sent me an email that basically said "You know, you might have a point about how good these cars are..." Glad to see he hasn't lost his touch!
yellowss7 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 Seats and belts look good Roman. Did the mounting go as we discussed? Tom
RGTorque Posted May 9, 2008 Author Posted May 9, 2008 i used the 2 mounting points behind the seat and 2 on the bottom; the seat is very SOLID. i also used the old rear end bushings (if you guys remember my old post about that) to raise my seat an inch or so cause i cant see over the hood. at this point Tom would fit like a glove, but will need to remove shoes so he does hit hit gas and break at the same time. i still have yet to do anything about the 5th point though... def gota think bout that one. im afriad of drilling that bar in front of the seats and having it flex ot break on me under heavy driving. i think im gona have it welded.
powderbrake Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Verrrrry Sanitary ! You obviously have done some wiring in the past. It all looks great.
