Yes but I'm not sure how far Kan will take it. I might have to put him in a sleeper move until I get the number I'm looking for

I'd like to run a C4 soon but that's going to be down the road. I'll just enjoy the TII trans for now.

Wow....that's just crazy.

I didn't know you could run a turbo without a wastegate. ESPECIALLY when the turbo is that large.

Taking a break from it, it's just way to cold to be wrenching on a car.

Starting to get motivated again. I just need the cooling system installed so I can fire it up. I bought a small radiator last week, CSR Water Pump yesterday and will pick up a Meziere Pump Adapter tommorow. So, this weekend I'll be fabbing up the radiator mount to get it installed. Only thing left is the high dollar -16 an fittings and hose.

Oh, I picked up a built C4 transmission last weekend. It has B&M shift kit, reverse shift patterns, rollerized gearset, hardened input shaft, hammer shifter, alto red clutches and PCT converter. Does anyone have a 2nd gen Auto Bellhousing, Starter and Flexplate they want to give away ?

Fabbed up a radiator mount and got it installed. I'll get the adapter and electric waterpump installed next weekend. Rad is kinda close to the turbine, so I'll need to make a nice heat shield for the turbo.

There weren't too many places or positions to put that radiator. So, that's where it will live. Hey, if the hondas can do it, why can't I ?

Well, it's either where it is now or in the trunk.
