Battery relocation to rear:

14ft 2 Guage power wire
JL Audio Distribution Block
Kicker 0 Guage Ground

Shift Linkage:

Took the Festiva linkage and cut the end off. Then cut the end of the Capri linkage off slid it over the Festiva linkage and mocked it, drilled a hole threw it and put a stainless hardened bolt and nut threw it and wall-la shift linkage no weld.

Did the same one with the solid rod.

Explain..^?

The sway bar is going to eat threw the aluminum?

[festivaWES]

That setup won't work... that swy bar is gonna play hell on that piping... it may last a 2.5 mile trip with minimal bumps...imho

[Damkid]

Ah ok

[M3NTAL]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Let's just say this is temporary

[Damkid]

Sorry man, but i am not a fan of that piping, i mean i'm sure its a tight engine bay with A/C and all but isn't there anyway to keep it in the engine bay? lol

you jerk, shoulda asked me to install your intercooler..

[M3NTAL]

July 24,

Trimmed up the lower bumper for intercooler, made a support bracket for Intercooler, routed cold side, trimmed up bumper for AC line, and almost finished the lower radiator hose routing.

Still need to thermo wrap a few parts, fill tranny with fluid, exhaust, shift linkage, seats, bleed brakes, throw some fresh gas and start her up.











Looks like rust in this pic but its not
And I need to clamp these up!










Starting Tuesday! ( I hope)

[Damkid]

Hmm maybe I should try some of that for my master cylinder lol

[M3NTAL]

I bought some Thermo Tec Thermo Guard Insulation today for my radiator hose, and AC lines to help out with extreme turbo heat. The company claims "*

Thermo-Guard FR offers the best in heat and sound insulation. This lightweight, durable shield does everything: reduces sound, absorbs vibration, protects from radiant heat and provides an extra layer of insulating padding. The product features 100% synthetic fiber felt that provides sound and comfort control and a high-tech foil
heat barrier that blocks 70%(One-Sided) of radiant heat up to 1500º F.

13 bucks it's worth a shot
