Nice. Are those JDM upper and lower intake manifolds? Or did you guys in Canada also get them like that?

Nice car and a good start. I agree that those headlight have got to go!!! You can pick up a set of flip ups for 200-300, well worth it!

looks like there was some porting done already. the block has perfect compression, i just don't know what has been previously done plus the coolant seals were going so I'm gonna rebuild everything, paint it up all nice and keep it clean

those primary diffusers look trashed, might want to replace those unless you're going with different injectors.

Now that my build is damn near done, I'm bored and missing building, lol

yea i have a FFE primary and secondary fuel rail, 2000cc for secondaries and 1000cc for primaries

aha theres always something that can be worked on, it never ends

the whole motor disgusts me, its been neglected and looks like garbage.. can't wait for the final product.. hopefully everything will be good to go for april

Make sure to document the ABS delete and list what kit you got. I am doing the same thing this weekend.

Yea I'm still waiting on ALEXs kit to come in. Im flying to texas and new orleans.. then I'm back for a couple days and fly out to miami to go on a cruise.. so if i get the chance to do the abs delete kit in between i will! Heres just a little update, I've been busy with christmas stuff so not to much going on. I found a piece of my iron gone which affected my coolant seal ( ill post pics soon) and caused for it to smoke so that sucks.. i might weld it and fix it.. but i just have to run my fuel lines and the fuel will be complete

What did you paint the hanger with? There is not many paints that can stand up to soaking in fuel 24/7. I left mine raw stainless.
