haaaa!!! Car finally coming together, come take a look:)
Well, I took it out for a spin yesterday. Totally different from driving my brother's single turbo. Since I was using a stock LT1 throttle cable, I was only able to get 50% throttle. Drove it around my street and this things got some *****
Again, I only had 50% throttle but it felt great. I'm not boosting yet but I just ordered some more piping for the IC and need to reroute my cooling lines just a tad. I'd say I'll be boosting in about 2 weeks.
This weekend I plan to finish up my painting, do any wiring that needs done, and get an alignment. Then I'll be on the road. People from work have been pressuring me to bring it so I think my first drive will be up to my work to show it off. Last time they seen it, it had 18" TE37's lowered with a Knightsports front end, that's it!! What a big change

Took the car out for a longer spin and things seem to drive very well. Exhaust isn't too loud under load, suspension seems the same as before, lots of low end torque. After a few runs I parked it home and found yet another problem. Got a small but deadly waterleak right on the waterpump housing. Took the whole housing off to find nothing wrong
The only thing I could figure was the bolts holding the housing needed some sealant. Also found out I have some type of wierd chatter from the clutch.
Don't know if I'll drive it to work this week but it'll be soon.
After my drives my brother decided to show up so I went ahead and took some shots
