Made some good progress over the weekend. Did not get to start the car but I only have the wiring to finish up before I can.

I changed the clutch disc$$$$ since the old ones were worn. I have to figure out some sort of art project for the old discs since the replacments were so much money LOL. Installed the motor and intercooler/radiator setup.

I also angled this alternator brace since I did not like the angle it was on when the pipe was straight.

Got the car running over the weekend!. It runs real well and the haltech elite was definitely an improvement over the ps2k. JHNrx7 came up with his wife to visit and he helped get a good street tune so I can break in the motor. Put approx 150 miles on it this weekend. I cant wait till IRP gets their dyno up and running so I can take my car there.

So a few months ago I drove down to PA and JHNrx7 and I tuned my car on the street. It runs awesome! Next year I should be on the dyno to make some real horsepower. Car makes about 14lbs of boost now. Plan for this winter is to just clean it up and enjoy. Here are a few pics.
