Engine bay pictures.

I'm going to get flamed for pulling the ABS so please leave you negative remarks on that out, I hate ABS... And it didn't work right, AND had wayyyy to many lines. So I got the Proportioning vavle/simple lines.


Not completly put back together, and I still need to have the IC pipes made, but that's the last major thing.... It just got a brand new Spec Stage 2 clutch, and a ACT X-ACT streetlight flywheel. Can't wait to drive it again

Look like that was a fun project. You should upgrade the Y-pipe if you plan to stay with the twins.

The ABS removal was acctualy cery simple, It only required a bunch of 3/16's brake line (from NAPA, only cost like $40 bucks for all... and I bought alot of extra) And then a T that was also from NAPA, and the Willwood proportioning valve from speedway motors for like $40. And the remote cable was like another $45???


And we just got it running again, and it revs quit a bit faster than with the stock flywheel.

It's a Feed.


EDIT: There are kits that look just like the feed on ebay (I don't believe they are though....) for $79 buy it now. The only problem is you have to angle the ABS pump (it has adjustable mounts), and it is still very very close....

Have you played around with the wilwood Prop valve? As in dialed in your braking system yet? I have the same unit, but i havnt even started in on my car and was curious to hear some thoughts/comments about it.

-Funny how you say for all the haters to get bent, i cant tell you the # of people that got on my case for removing ABS when i made posts/threads about it, sheesh...

ABS Removal

I love not having tha abs. My engine bay looks so much cleaner and still brakes fine. Though I've been in a couple of close calls when the brakes locked up but thats more my fault for speeding.

Was almost the easiest thing that has been done to the car.... The hardest part to me was bleeding the brakes (which isn't bad....)


And here are some pictures of the new paint job (no all around ones until I get fenders, and it wet-sanded )
