The heat from welding will cook the lining of the tie rod ends and grease and pretty much everything, wet towels will keep it all cool and prevent damage.

as for the wheels they're Hyper Black Varrstoen ES 2.2.1's. 18x9.5 +12 / / 18x10.5 +15 thanks bro!
Been a busy guy lining up parts, and planning out what to do with this thing. ordered a shitty clutch to get the car moving until i hear back on the OS Twin Plate i've been gawking at. ordered a water meth kit. new injectors so i can give my friend his injectors back finally. also swooped a 38mm tial gate to ditch the egay 50mm china gate that was seeping boost...
getting one step closer to being able to sit the **** down, stop making excuses, and start driving again. Top Drift RD.1 is the next stop.

notched my front frame rails to remedy the tires locking on the chassis... should've done that a year ago...
Temporary Clutch came in today, waiting on the Tial Waste Gate, Doc Race 13B mani, Oil Coolers, AEM Water/Methanol Injection kit, gang of -an's, and then it's going to be a bunch of installing.
Pics coming in the morning. sleep coming now.

Lol damn dude.. I woulda sold you my water/meth kit for less than half that. I do race gas now... I don't trust that swill coming from a pump.
They're straight forward to set up. It's pretty easy to tune it too. Just remember to run it a little richer than just normal gas when tuning it, so if you accidentally run the tank dry, or something in the system fails, it won't lean out and pop the motor. Some of the more baller kits have fail safes and warning lights that you could wire into a haltech and if the "warning light" comes on, the 12v power would be used as an input to switch to a safe map, or a limp mode type of map.
What size injector did you get with the kit?

This kit came with 3 nozzles. i think one is like 118cc/min, 550cc/min, and like 800?? idk. i have to look at the instructions.
would it be beneficial to order the inline filter also? i'm not using window washer fluid with this setup... i'm either going to buy a drum, and mix my own blend. or find a deal to buy a few bottles of pre-mixed stuff online. would the filter still be a good idea if im using quality blends?
this thing also has a dash light. i didnt buy the gauge yet, but i probably will in the next few weeks. **** was almost $400...
also i really don't think i'll tune with it. mainly wanted it to keep charge temps down, because summer is coming up, and this year i'm trying to do 3 full, separate series' which are all mid summer almost.

Started mounting my AEM Water/Meth Tank, and Pump tonight. Made some fast brackets to weld to the chassis, and step drilled/welded the bolts to the bracket.
Tank Mounted. Pump placement mock up.
Before getting cut to size.
just going to bolt the pump to the brackets and tack them in, and call it a day so i can start wiring up the controller, and move to installing the nozzle into the throttle body. havent even looked at it yet to see if its aluminum. would be nice to just drill and tig it up but pretty sure the nozzles are steel...
