I started to "work" my porting skills, just to get used to it









Should I remove the blue part? Do I have enough casting on 12A housings to do it?

If I cant find a 13b-rew I will end up using a megasquirt and the 13b-rew intake mani with an adapter plate

The port difference is huuuuuge











Also worked out my tail lights and removed the color lenses

No worries.

I told them to hold the mirrors and center piece because I had a big volumetric item coming this way. They were supposed to put them in the big box so I would save the shipping, but they forgot.

The mirrors and center taillight piece are still in Miami. They should be on their way next week

Damn! I was wondering if an FD or FC center console would fit snugly in the hump... Obviously it fits very nicely!

I wanna see it finished! RAWR!

THERE IS ENOUGH CARPET ON SOME ROLLS TO CARPET 2 OR MORE VEHICLES INCLUDING THEIR TRUNK AREARS

please measure your application to be sure

IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS LISTED IN THE ITEM TITLE OF THIS AUCTION THEN I HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS AUCTION IS FOR ENOUGH CARPET TO CARPET IT.

Truly an inspiration! Trust me, I understand the look of triumph in your face with the flywheel nut, and impact wrench. Bravo.
