damn! an actual savannah..i WISH i had a real jdm 12a turbo..that is my dream. im a big 12a fan good job with the setup and very clean too. post some video's for sure when its ready.

:AA:

 

Pure sex, thanks for posting her up.

 

Nice! That manifold looks expensive!

 

 

LOL!!!

very clean! love the engine bay! any idea on how much power its putting to the wheels?

 

LOL wow Stu.

 

^ looks like a sad hotdog.

 

:jawdrop:

Wow that's a beautiful machine. Any shots of the intercooler setup? I totally just ripped up the stock radiator support bracket to fit my intercooler (NPR large diesel...) and I'm regretting that now.

 

Stu, LOL, thats hilarious!! reminds me of that silly hot dog from the junior senior video "move your feet". the song is..well...weird.but the video is a riot:

 

^^ Wow, I am surprised I remembered that video! I looked it up and it brings back memories

 

Some nice engineering under the hood - beautiful fabrication. Obviously labor of love
Well done-

^ happy hotdog.

 

Haha!

It was one of the guys at the shop that painted the seat, funny you noticed! We call it the sad seat..

 

Well, she is up and running again! Started right up after a little bit of ECU hassle. Testing her at the local track in two weeks...





Still some cleaning up to do, but we are getting there!

 

That mod is a long ways from home ToTo!!

 

My '79 is wetting itself just looking at the pics!!

 

Really like that dash. I have been thinking of something like that after removeing a 79 dash, and feeling how heavy the steel framework is. Also, the rest of the car is pretty nice

 

Thanks for the replies!

Installed the remote mount power steering today, behind the drivers seat. Seems to be working fine! Only a couple more things to do before i can take her out on a test run..

 

Looking good there Morten ! I like your custom intake
