Bring it up here. and I meant DALE! Took me about 3 hours once everything was out of the way. Next time I do it I will only do it from the underside in order to maintain a "stock appearance" nudge nudge know what I mean!

Heh! It's kinda hard to move the car right now - heck, pushing is even hard with no steering column!

Just came back from the garage - put down another coat of primer. Lookin' good!

Wow, you really like Greddy gauges, huh?

I have been trying to get some gauges(fuel pressure, etc) but haven't been able to decide on a brand.

What is your experience with Greddy?

That's what I run too. I like redline for the diff but I think the royal purple has the better compatability and additives for the trans.

I've been really happy with Greddy gauges for a few reasons -

- Very reasonable price
- Top-notch construction
- Accurate
- Looks great
- Wide range of gauges

Check http://www.german-autowerks.com - they have KILLER prices on Greddy gauges. I bought my p/h/w water temp from them, and had no complaints with the service.

You can get a boost gauge from them (60mm mechanical) for under $100!

The Redline has been in there FOREVER, before Royal Purple was really known or a player in the market. The Royal Purple I got from Summit last order I made from them, since I've been wanting to try it and it's reasonably priced.

Remember, a lot of the stuff done on the car has been done over the past 5 years or so!
