You're my idol Juiceh.

Before the line issue, did it drive like stock?

That's one thing I love, being in a fast car that is just fine to drive from A to B.

Before the fuel line issue?

Well stock the car was NA & Automatic... So I guess the answer would be no.

Now if you mean like the stock turbo setup? Yeah it cruises like stock, but when you put your foot down..... not stock...

Overnight parts from J-Pan!!! LoL j\k.... It actually took over 2 months to get them... I got them through AutoRnD. They are able to give a decent price. Still pricey parts though.

Removing the AC is the EASY way out

Awesome work otherwise. My turbovert needs a new engine too

^after a summer with no working AC in my jeep I think I may have to keep it in the vert. A triple black car in the summer with no AC is slow baking suicide.

Did you ever get those TEIN front struts installed correctly (I don't know if its been mentioned yet, I didn't read every post in your thread)? I noticed you have them 90* out, there meant for camber adjutment, not castor, or was this on purpose? Kick *** ride btw.

I think I will be keeping the car black, it depends how the paint samples turn out this week. I'm going to check out a few Lamborghini & Ferrari colors. There are a couple blacks on the list.

I didn't really think they would be a problem. But now that I think about it, with the weather that we sometimes get up here, I see how they could be. I'll see what I can do about them....
Any suggestions?


Just popped in again. I work with Mariah Motorsports and have done the wiring on most of their race cars as well as all of their roadgoing cars for the passed couple years. I refuse to use any sort of small gauge crimp connectors (unless you purchase a proper crimper and unmolested factory style pins and sockets) in anything other than an emergency patch up, so I guess my suggestion is to solder everything unless you're using a proper crimp tool with factory style connectors.

^Thanks. The wiring was gone through again. Anything that could be soldered has been now.

Well I stopped by the body shop today to pickup my paint samples.... Now I have a dilema... Everyone thats seen the color samples thinks I should paint the vert with the color that my FD will be getting, and I sorta think I should too! LoL!

It might be time for a color change for the vert....

Plates came back from lapping over a week ago, they were really worn. Worn enough to catch your fingernail on them very easily. Now they are being machined for studs. They should be back very soon.

yeah what Mike said.

I cant believe nobody else pointed out that your setup was not able to dial in negative camber with the pillowbpalls monted the way they were.

wow man too bad about all of the engine problems, thats a prime example of why some guys have moved on to LS1 swaps.

holy moly those tires are amazing! props on the tire choice an width, hells yeah!
so what width wheels are you going to run?
I cannot wait for the pics, oh man so sick.
more more more!
best of luck finishing everything up and having no more problems.
