finally some movement!!
Been polishing away now and i think i've gotten it looking pretty good
got a little half and half shot for you guys
also got my Full Function Engineering LIM Adapters for the secondary injectors
these things are awesome!!
they've got an o-ring around the outer edge and comes with a set to put on the injectors themselves
very good quality setup!

finally got some more work done!!
Got my injectors in...a fresh set of Five-O Injectors "Silver Bullets" 2200cc flow-matched injectors
getting these mounted properly is basically whats been holding me back from bolting everything back together
had to fab up some brackets from some aluminum...They arent the prettiest things in the world but they'll do the job just fine
i also would like to throw in that the Full Function Eng. o-ringed spacers are absolutely awesome!!
awesome fit and the customer service was great!! definitely recommend them to everyone

No FFE Rails cus i really need to stop buying parts, and just finish the car lmao
The rail came with a complete fuel system that i bought from someone here on the forum
That blue ring seal thing isn't the "real" seal of the fuel rail to the injector extender
that blue ring was on the the extender when i got them, so i just left them on there...the injectors sealed completely bottom and top
i guess those blue seals are just an extra precaution or something...not really sure...but i figured the more things sealing the better lol

got a little something something done today...
put on the LIM with the injectors and ran the fuel plumbing for the most part
also put Thermo-Tec Cool It over the OMP lines and the fuel line that leads from the primary to secondary rail.
That should keep the OMP lines from melting against the block

Got some more work done this after noon
Finally got my tires!! Continental ExtremeContact DW
Front: 265/35/18
Rear: 295/35/18
they aren't my first choice at all, but they were basically the only ones that were on back order...it was either these or Nitto Invos, but the Invos are sad excuses for performance tires.
I've heard good reviews, but i'll definitely be swapping these out for some proper BFGoodrich KDW2 and then the Toyo R888 for the track
swapped out the pulleys with the new Touge Factory units. They really are awesome. Lightweight, brings the alternator pulley and water pump in the smaller stock sizes, and then the crank pulley is smaller and lighter...and it comes with a power steering pulley!! super sick kit and decently priced as well!!
I put some comparison shots so you guys could see
also did the turbo blankets on the twins
they're finally ready to into the car for good!!!!

Where are the rims you are mounting the tires on?
Also, why would you buy new tires only to replace them shortly after?
If the car is not running yet then what is wrong with waiting for the tires to be back in stock? or just get them from a different source.
