UP-date on the SA (56K sorry)

It's been a while since I've posted an update, so I felt it is a good time.
The following has been done:
MSD 6AL box
2nd gen leading coil
Removal of trailing ignition
Removal of AC
Removal of rat's nest
Racing Beat rear springs (Thanks Gonzz)
Ground Control U-weld coilovers (Thanks Gonzz)
S3 front strut tubes
Tokico Illumina front struts
S3 brake calipers
Slotted brake rotors
Russell's SS brake lines
All new Moog steering components
iEquus gauges (need to be mounted)
Oil pressure increase
New FMOC lines
Powdercoated oil pan, radiator surround, water pump housing, pullies, strut tubes.
Epoxied under belly calipers, radiator, and basically every removable part in front of the front cover if not powdercoated
Truck bed lined front underbelly up to the frame rails


I'm sure that I am missing something, but it has been a lot of work that paid off. trochoid did the majority of the work. Although it took a while, he pulled through with some help. Thanks again trochoid.

Nice engine bay! Very clean and organized, I like your (both of you guys) work. How did you bump up the oil pressure?

Carl can you add "Polygraphite Bushings (Thanks Billy @ Re-Speed)" to the list and delete it from this post? Thanks.

Ic you've kept scott just as been as me an Dan have ... Scott has definatly been the center of our money pit lately. Whats the reason for ditching the trailing though. I know its mostly there just for emmision and only gains like one or 2 HP, but thats still something right?

You've given me quite a few more ideas to PC though ... and thats not good, gotta stop adding things to the list lol.

Could you please resize the pics?

640x480 is just about perfect for the forum.
Get infranview (google it) and resize them. Upload them in this thread and I will swap them out for you.

They are just too big..
