yeah don't really feel like removing turbo. Fear of broken studs and also timeconsuming... Needs to come off some day though but not right now :)

I Think the precat needs to come off though. That's what they say in other threads I've read anyways. Already replaced last year with aftermarket so bolts shouldn't be much of an issue anyways. I just hate working under the car with jackstands. Always that unsafe feeling.

Here are a couple pictures of the steering. Notice the pivot joint comparison of the lower control arm and the steering rack. Also notice the wheel clearance.

Will that throw the caster off? When I messed with the position of where the tie rod hooked on my rail buggy it made the wheel pull badly in my hand. It could have been another issue but I blamed it on that.

Rebuilding throttle body and replacing injector o-rings thanks to a leak test.

So apparently the "heart" is thumbs up in tapatalk......

I put a battery back under the hood:


Took the factory positive wires and ran them to a disto. block, stuffed it under the fuse box, then ran a single wire to the battery:

Positioned the grounding block out of the way and added split loom to keep the factory look:

Done, just need to fuse the power wire running back to the hatch and it will be complete.

Looks great! When people do battery relocations, do they do that same thing with the distribution and thick gauge wire ran to the back?
