More ...
HKS BOV:
Alternator:
Well I have no more excuses. I have to get back to polishing the UIM. I've been holding off as long as I could. Maybe I should pull off the turbos.

If you are referring to the wire clamps on the 2" rubber hose between the pump and reservoir, yes, they are out of place compared to the rest of the clamps on the car.
If I may make a suggestion, use Breeze constant torque clamps on the silicon coolant hoses. Those worm clamps loosen up after a few repeated heat cycles.

Nice clamps. I actually use the Breeze Liner Clamps (http://www.breezeclamps.com/liner.htm). Not as good but at least they save the hoses from the worm gears. I'll probably end up grabbing some of the constant torque clamps for the rad hoses. Where's the cheapest place to buy them? I did a quick search and found a couple places that sell them for about $5-$6 a piece.

I also bought a couple more things ...
Fuse Bracket (painted w/ new bolts):
NRG Hood Dampers:
HKS Twin Power:
I was thinking of mounting the Twin Power there. Just curious where you guys usually mount it? You have to remember I'm RHD so I have the ABS stuff to deal with. Also, how hard is it to recharge the A/C?

You need a vacuum pump, you have to have a vacuum on the system so it will pull the refrigerant into it.... I don't know off the top of my head what they were speced for but if it were the older type you might need to change all the o rings before having it recharged.

It took a lot of time to polish that thing. I just wanted some proof of all the hard work. By the way, I really like you FD website. Nice clean MB. I've be contemplating on whether to change the color of mine. After seeing yours and "Deals Gap Rotary Rally" I may just stick with it.
