Got Boost?
Yea, I haven't even put the car in gear, and I'm already addicted. It sounds sick, and revs up in neutral much faster than my old 12A. Oh, and the blow-off sounds 
Unfortunately I'm starting to suspect my clutch install, instead of a hydraulic problem. I'm going to pull the access panel on the bell housing tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it figured out without pulling the tranny. Its driving me nuts with that thing just sitting there unable to get the clutch to disengage.

Makwana- Thanks
fatboy7- So when you push the pedal you can't the get the clutch slave to move the fork? Or it moves the fork but the clutch doesn't disengage?
inittab- Thanks, 2nd gear was short because it spins the tires like a SOB in 2nd
Watch the speedometer when I get into second

I press the clutch, the fork moves a good travel, but no disengagment. I took a look this morning, and for some reason the clutch disc is sticking to the pressure plate. I'm in the process of pulling the tranny 
to take a look. Hopefully, I'll have it back together tomorrow.
Looks like your in the market for some better radials, huh

Steve- haha, too bad you needed to buy a house! That was a hell of a car you had...
luiml73- here is a shot of the engine bay before I made the heatshield and relocated the air filter.

Anex250- it's a custom 13b turbo setup. Over 5k and under 10K
brianmcd- thanks, look ^. It's from a Mazda Cosmo. 1992 model, that is the car they also put the 20b in. The 13b-re is the standard engine.

So you're going to give up the forum because there is a V-8 FC in the thread??
I posted the car because I was showing what I'm up against.
No reason to whine.

Im so motivated to go work on my car right now from that its not even funny. Unfortunatly, I have nothing to do to it because I have no money to move forward with anything, and I ran out of things I can do for free. Its also too bad I only have 56K and I have to wait forever to watch those movies, lol. Ive only downloaded the first one so far, and I cant wait to see the rest...
Damn man, I CANT WAIT until I can finally get my "dream 13BT swap" going. After my car got stolen and all, I need something like that to show that it was all worth it in the end, ya know?

Damn Setzep, your car really puts my 12a turbo to shame. I have the mildport going back in soon because my stock 12a blew from high milage worn out apex's mid augest. If only I could get the DAMN endplate I need desperately in time for BIR(Brainard)10th and VSCR coming up. YOU should go to VSCR in St. Cloud on the 13th Sept. Your car would kill everything else out there if you know how to drive well even with stock suspenion or whatever you have. All you need is $70 and a SNELL 95 or newer helmet!

abe- You coulden't be more right!
Rotor- Hang in there, it will be worth it in the end
brian- not sure, if it ever hits the straight track I'd like to see 11.something from it. I think my buddy that has that V-8 FC is going to be taking his cr to the track soon. Whatever he gets I'm sure I woulden't be far off from it.
Wacky- haha, thanks I guess. I'd like to get my car on a twisty track someday but it needs tires bad! I have Eiabach springs, tokico illuminas and poly bushings up front but stock sway bars. I know it could do well but the 205's are really hurting me in the corners right now. It's bitter-sweet being able to step the rear end out in 3rd gear, fun but at the same time I'd like it to just stick.
