Re: Completed Turbo EF *Carnage Pics*
 
man I love how you mounted the gauges in the glove box. no one would know you are turboed until you blow past their asses. I was thinking about custom mounting the gauges in my cup holders, they have a cover that latches down so I can hide them whenever I want. what do you think? by the way it is a 98 dx sedan.

While the motor was in the shop I decided to remove the dash to install the reinforced pedal assy, chipped OBD1 ECU, and delete the unnecessary wiring. (I had taken out the A/C, and fog lamps)

I cleaned up the heating ducts and put new foam insulation on it as well as under the top bottom edge of the dash.

This car reminds me of when I used to build remote control cars, but this one I can actually fit inside to drive.

The CAT rods in comparison were actually beefier than the Eagles, but, I spent the money on the JE pistons, so I just went ahead and got a set of Eagles. I sold them with the Vitaras to a local friend for a good price.
