It's Alive!
If you check out my car domain site, here , you'll see that I have been working on my 85 gs for quite some time now. Just about everything that I could possibly think of has been replaced on that car, and 1 year and way tooo much $$$ later, I got it running today! Started right up. Here's a video.
You can't really tell from the video, but that was one of the loudest things I have ever heard. Well, it looks like I have about wrapped up thios project, what next? There just happens to be a box in my garage with a turbo, downpipe, boost controller, guages, and intercooler, so we'll just have to see where it goes

Nice! I checked out the car domain site, but didnt look at teh video because of my 56k 
. Looks like you did a real nice job 
. Isn't it a great feeling to be working on a project for so long and finally get to see/hear it in action? I just hope i get to have that feeling soon...

Looks nice. I think you should ditch the beehive and get an air/oil cooler. Oh and dont expect that paint to last on teh header.

yea, the paint smokes and bubbles every time I start the car I have an old volvo oil cooler that I might use, but hose fittings and braided lines are expensive!
