My data plan thanks you..after the holidays however, feel free to be a picture whore.
Always excited to see where these sorts of builds lead
Talked about getting back on it so I can actually drive it, instead of sit in it and make vroom vroom noises.
Got the one main thing I was looking for today in the mail.... My turbo's back from the shop getting balanced. They also cleaned everything on them, honed the bearings housings, and just did a superb job on them. I almost thought they sent me the wrong ones back. Got a week off for the holidays so I'll be working on getting everything all back together.

Holy Moly. Was removing the stock engine harness so I pulled the HVAC fan. These things get filthy! Checked out the other cars for comparison and it was identical. They also have a thin metal shield thingy in them that are prone to rust like everything else on our cars. I decided to take it apart and give it a good cleaning and then put a splash of rust prohibiting primer on as well. Yuck!

Well...I imagine the noises...maybe I could do that hard enough for others to hear? :p
My tranny was rebuilt about 2 years ago (by chris hill),, recently i was getting a squealing sound from the tranny area. I had to drop my tranny replaced the throw out bearing (OEM), replaced fidanza flywheel insert, re tap the tranny mount screw holes, got a new starter. Everything installed. this is a new year time to hit 10s....
Scrubbed down the engine bay, It was nasty! Didn't take a specific "before" picture but you can get an idea with this older one, nasty stuff everywhere! Used purple power and some pretty stiff bristled brushes (used for cleaning wheels i assume) and scrubbed and scrubbed until it cleaned up.
before-ish

Surprised that more paint didn't come off the rail there under the brake booster and master. So often people are careless when they top it off and end up spilling brake fluid on there.Quote:

Going to repaint the engine bay anyway but that's still no bueno.
