and i also relocated my Valce Cover catch can away from the BOV like i had it b4. ( my fear was that it would fill up and the BOV would suck up oil. )
So i moved it close to the battery and made a bracket and bolted it to an existing 10mm bolt hole.
B4 ( can was literally 2 inches from the blowoff valve)
Now ( it's up at the battery)

---- just has me in a slump. I kinda put the car on the backburner for a bit. But materials for the cage will be ordered soon and hopefully some progress.

Hang in there, man. There's a saying I'm sure you've heard....when it rains, it pours. That really sucks about your pa-in-law. Dedicate this year's racing to him, and kick some serious ***.

Thats crazy as ---- man... We had a fucked up end of 08, if it makes you feel any better...
-Met a new girl, same day, lost my job and clutch went out...
-Had to leave the car in a parking lot, someone tried to steal it, and fucked all kinds of ---- up...
-Wrecked the new girls 07 Tiburon w/ 6k on the odometer...
-Girls grandpa died days before Christmas (so they had to cancel Florida trip, and head to Arkansas and take care of the funeral and grandma)
-Had to go pick up my girl early from Arkansas. 775 mile trip, hit a deer 10 miles from destination (in the rental w/o added insurance), ran out of gas 5 miles from...
-Still couldnt find a job 1.5 months later...
But I finally got the car running again, found a job, getting married, blah blah blah. So I guess just keep your head up. ---- will come around. Cant stay fucked up all the time, just cant go dwelling and stressing on ---- you can change or control.
Good luck man. I love the car. ***** clean as FAWK. Get that ---- done.

few changes.
Well a T4 GT35r damn near fell into my lap at CDM $.
A friend of mine had a T4 Full-Race ramhorn manifold and a T4 divided houseing .60 trim turbo(which i will post for sale soon, since it's a lil too small for my build, but would be perfect for a nice mild street car.Will support 500-550whp) that he asked if i wanted to trade for my T3 topmount manifold .
i'll be converting the 40mm gate flange to 44mm, and get the manifold coated. ( Geoff is taking too long to release that divided houseing manifold)
