Also I have a ST sway bar, and a egay rear strut tower bar. I'm gonna make a upper front when I have some time. $80 dollar welder to the rescue!

Re: Long time lurker...UPDATE BYATCH
Cheap *** paint job is holding up great. A few spots where my rust prep was a lil crappy and a few tiny bubbles have appeared. But oh well... I think I'm the only one who notices em. Who knows if I get bored I'll repaint it next summer.
outside of the dorm before the end of the school year (last semester)
Got a new oil feed line off of my firewall tee (a bit longer and smaller). also newly welded up mandrel charge pipes with DSM BOV
Fixed a stupid *** leak on the turbo. A lil JB weld took care of the shitty threads.
All jambs painted low gloss, satin black. ( didn't feel like mixing up paint... busting out the gun/compressor yada yada yada) Looks great. I prepped with 3M scotch bright green pads and cleaned it up with soem paint prep. Oh and of course I pulled all trim, locking things, yada yada yada.
Fixed a lil boost leak from my adapter plate to the HF manifold. Too bad the bolts were badly stuck and 2 outta 4 broke. Drilled em out, retapped. Great results. Spools faster, sounds better. The 14b has 10x1.25 bolts and I tapped for 10x1.5. Apparently 10x1.25 is near impossible to find in socket head cap bolts. But every ACE had the 1.5 pitch.
89sipimpin and I decided it would be a good idea to make our VC's pink. lol. It was.
As of the middle of the summer @ a HT meet.

Nice setup man. Just had a question for you -
Where did you get that hose that connects your turbo inlet to your air filter? I'm looking for one that takes a sharp angle right away, but only have come up with home depot 90 degree 1 1/2 couplers. Thanks man.
Once again, lov'n the car.
