[eurotiva]

oooo well it only took like 5 min to make lol... i was thinking of polishing the $#!+ out of it and leaving it like that, who has polished copper in his engine bay? not many people lol... bling bling 8)

Mike get some aluminium brake line and polish that....I like bling. I think i started my swap after yours? Oh yea and built Tom's car between and I'm driving mine......Get in gear and get it going. Do I need to mak a vid so you'll finish yours?

I was afraid someone would ask. I think it was a Mazda, maybe a 323 or 626.

from what kind of car?

[freshtiva]

I found this brake booster line at the junk yard, it had the brackets on it and everything and fit like a glove.

[sasquatch]

[eurotiva]

man keep up that good work i like the light in the back how long till u are zipping around town

[sasquatch]

UPDATE!!!

i allways forget my camera in the house when i start working so i allmost never get a before shot.... so after a bit of work it looks like this...
(notice all the wiring mess beside the brake booster)

this is how far the motor is tilted back... even the gtx intake manifold hits... and it looks retarded how low it sits cause of the tilt... (gonna get fixed in a couple days )


the brake booster vac line i made out of copper piping i still have to trim the end but i dont know what length cause im gonna be moving the motor around and dont want to make another one...




the wires that where all bunched up beside the brake booster along with my car alarm was bugging the heck out of me cause they looked so ugly, messy and chunky now its fixed


all hidden even the daytime running lights that use to sit on the fire wall and look like a turd


looks better eh?


and the rust on the brake booster was also bugging me... its flat black, not gloss... i didnt wait till the paint was dry to take the pic cause the fumes where getting to me :tard: lol... still have to get the 2nd and maby 3rd coat on it...


i also got this thing installed


and a vid of it in action turned out a dark vid but what ever...


i can have up to 9 presets on it.... i have 3 set so far... (www.fordfestiva.com) (12 sec 1/4 or bust :] ) (did somebody say turbo???) once i get to the 12's ill change it to 11's also gonna add one that says (got boost???)

and the last shot... i thought it was kind of funny lol...

[sasquatch]

the only reason its not fitting is cause the mounts where made for the b6t... not the bp... so its all tilted and out of wack... as soon as i get it over to my friends shop im gonna re-do the motor mounts and cross member... i got it all figgured out me not dum dum

[batstiva]

ya even with the bashing it still dosnt clear im starting to think i got a bigger than normal bp lol.... i should be starting on that new cross memeber in the next day or two...

That's weird, because the couple of BPs I've seen up close didn't really need all that much extra room back there. Perhaps you've got a Sasquatch sized BP?

Looking good. :thumbleft:

[eurotiva]

Mike ask any questions you might have. Mine required minimal bashing and i can fit my arm behind the intake. And my axles are nice and straight. Stock b3 front mount, stock festy rear trans mount(small mod). custom front tranny mount.
