as soon as possible, I wanna start driving my rex again so bad you wouldnt amagin. Sehe came off teh road 3 years ago when I found out I was having a son and was on the back burner for a whail and has only seen the road for maybe 20 days in 3 years. It's in the car now so thats a big step. next weekend I might have it running but joe says he needs 2 more full days to finish the body work. so to be honest it might not be till the end of may befor its on the road.
But! I do promise that as soon as its running I will have a vid of it running that I know will turn into a ripper video.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. That turbo picture is pretty funny, man that things is TUCKED in there. What are the specs/trim of that thing? I'll be VERY surprised if that manifold holds that hairdryer up. None-the-less, you've come a loooong way so props to you, bud. :-D Nice downpipe too.

well its sunday and its mothers day. Im going up north to her soon and wil have to sneek into the barn with out my nanny seeing me(she doesnt like the car or me working on it). I have a civic half rad that I have to install because the turbo is so big it wont fit the rad in even tucked into the engine. Im gonna weld up new mounts for te rad and install the timig belt. she should start today! I hope
WOT is going to help me build the traction bar because th reverse side 3" down pipe is hard to fit in. once the setup is together I will have to grab a nice aluminum rad for that space.

----, no pics bad day
Spent forever today trying to get the ---- to fit right but no go. Turbo is so big I had to turn it the otherway annd scrap the downpipe and make a new one. Then I had to pull the pan and redo the oil return. Then I spent hours making brackets to hold the half rad in place and trying to get it to fit. I had to remove the stock rad mounts and the lower rad suport and drop down the rad and fab a skid plate for it.
All in all this is it now
Rad is in
oil retun is done
turbo is in
charge pipes are done.
Next weekend Im spending sunday monday tuesday with her!
T belt
oil pick up
START THE BITCH and do one big ------- burnout with my big *** slicks!
