Test fitting new set-up...finally!!

Aloha all.

Here are a few pics of the engine being mocked into place to make sure everything fits OK. I'll put more up tomorrow after i get the engine inside the car
Enjoy:

that's all for tonight. More to come later. Then it all comes back out for painting and detailing.

Sorry, the pics are kinda big.

This was early this morning.. The turbo did not fit in the car due to the turbine housing hitting the shock tower .

Swapped out the turbine housing with my old one from prior set-up. And it fits like a glove.


Everything fits nicely. Now it all comes back out again and gets painted and powdercoated.

Here are a couple more shots with it in the car now. and manifolds DP etc.. fit on.

I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel.

You need to rename the files so the server sends the right content-type. Rename "engine3" to "engine3.jpg", for example.

Just at the end of it? I tried earlier and it wouldn't show up. Sorry I'll figure this computer shiat out some time. Gotta get something to shrink the pics with so i can post them directly. Looks like photshop gets ordered tomorrow.

They work OK for me.. Mahjik said something earlier about people not haveing IE being an issue. I will resolve my computer incompetence tomorrow.

Yes, just rename the files on the server, for example "rename engine3 engine3.jpg". Or, in the GUI, edit the filename and add .jpg to the end. Then post some new links on here with the .jpg file names.

(Note: Windows might quickly hide the new file extension from you, due to its "hide extensions for known file types" feature. Further note: That feature is retarded and causes many more issues than it solves, including, but not limited to, having to include this "the file name you see might not be the real file name" disclaimer, and the maddening time you are likely to have trying to fix the filenames. It may also be responsible for this issue in the first place, and it will be responsible for the strange fact that you will need to have a .jpg at the end of a URL for a file that may appear to not have such an extension when you view the directory with Windows Explorer.)

Without the .jpg at the end of the filename, the server doesn't know what kind of files they are (it normally looks at the filename for an extension such as ".jpg"), and in turn can't tell the browser (you're right -- I'm not using IE) what kind of file it is getting. All I see when I click the links is a bunch of garbage, including a little text about an Olympus digital camera.

Same here... I'd love to see the pics, if you could rename them!

If you really need to see them, you can right-click the link, choose Save As... and save the file with a .jpg filename and then double-click the file to open it.
