Nice job getting it up and running. Are you going to be running an aftermarket ECU? If you are, you should come down to Halifax June 8 and 9 and take advantage of the tuner we are flying down. There is a thread going in the "Canadian Forum" right now.

wahoo not bad! i think if you cut the lip in half and widened the center portion it will look a lot better-- so the lip "flare" is the same size as the bumper opening!

love where this is going!

Well I am sending my wheels away so I decided to find my oil leak and hard start problem... Chipped and broken apex seal anyway I went and polished one housing although the wire wheel managed to get the best of me..

Just picked up my new motor yesterday hope to crack it open today.

lololol nice battle wound.. i remember when i was wire wheeling and it caught my ls shirt sleeve, and strangled my arm... that was fun lol i hate using a drill with any sort of attachment besides a drill bit. i feel like its such a bad idea bc of the way you hold the dril....
