No more using the flash.
And you seem like you have a jerky trigger finger. I bet you shoot low and to the left.
Looks nice though Eric. I hate you.

when I don't use flash, it's even more blurry. I just need a new camera and need to lay off the speed. I got the shakes !

we need to see updated pictures of your car. How's the healing process going ?

Cool........

Mine was welded with a Mig and SS Wire. It seems pretty strong, I lifted up one side of my car with the manifold. Don't Ask !!!

For a mild steel weld el manifold ,I'd use a min. of sched 40 2" pipe.At least for the main tubes that support the turbo.

I just don't know.. I think you're going to run into a pretty big pressure drop from turbo to intake.

.. what I'm trying to say is that I'm jealous of your setup. :/

took a break during the winter, just too cold in the garage....... but it's starting to warm up now.

Fabbed up a radiator mount and got it installed. I'll get the adapter and electric waterpump installed next weekend. Rad is kinda close to the turbine, so I'll need to make a nice heat shield for the turbo.

Got to fartin around today and fabbed a little alternator mount. In these pics, it wasn't quite finished. I didn't take pictures of it all braced up and the adjustment tab.


Oh well..... still waiting on the coolant lines and fittings to get here.
