Here's some pictures of the car. The first ones are older and the last ones are newer. I just rolled and pulled the fenders as well as lowering it a little more. I assume by "flavor" you meant to type engine. I'll take some pictures later today of the engine bay.






Excuse the filth on the last picture. That was the moment I took the car off the jack stands after working on it for over a month. The new turbo is on, but after driving for 5 minutes it blew out the exhaust manifold gasket, so I need to space the turbo out more so I can tighten it better. I'm going to use a racing beat manifold flange and have its thickness cut in half, and use two gaskets to get better clearance with the LIM. I'm just irritated that I have to take the turbo off again, which is a huge PITA. Updates incoming this weekend though.

Working on a solution to spacing the turbo out more. This exhaust leak at the engine is killing me.

Using the RB flange and getting FD engine exhaust studs so it'll fit. I'm planning to get everything working by Friday.

Small update. I've been in Afghanistan for a few months again, so the car hasn't had anything done to it for a while. I have a friend driving it every week or so to make sure it's good to go for me when I'm home. I've been buying a good bit of parts out here to install when I'm home in December. So far all I've gotten is the rest of the TII drivetrain I need to swap in, along with an S4 auto rear counterweight. Here's a small list of the remaining items that I will purchase in the coming months.

-TII starter
-Short shifter
-ACT Prolite flywheel
-ACT 6 puck sprung clutch kit
-Turblown stud kit
-MS3 or MS3x w/ harness and sensors (Haven't decided whether I want to spend a little more for the MS3X)
-Continental ExtremeContact DW tires
-Rear individual camber adjusters
-DTSS eliminator bushings
-AN lines and fittings along with an Aeromotive FPR to set up a parallel fuel rail system
-1000cc primaries and maybe 1600cc secondaries

I'll order most of this in November so it all arrives at my house right before I'm back. I'll have two weeks off work when I'm home, so hopefully I can get most everything installed. The MS3 may have to be done after Christmas.

Oh, and I almost forgot the most important mod, a cup holder that replaces the switch panel in front of the center console! Can't wait to ride around with my PBR by my side (more like Mountain Dew). Here's a couple pictures of the car my friend recently took as well.

Update: The clutch blew up yesterday when my friend was doing a 3rd gear pull. Not surprised it happened. Good thing I have an entire TII drivetrain sitting in my garage. He plans to swap the TII drivetrain in for me, while I'm still deployed, and I'm going to let him have my old transmission for his 12A Mazda B2000 project.
