She's back... finally.
Well today I finally got the del Sol back on the road after I totally fried my clutch and tranny. Picked up a new tranny from Whitey and the clutch came from Gripforce.com for pretty cheap.
Anyways, I don't think I've ever shown the soldier to you guys so here it goes.
Close up of the little IHI.
Notice the spray-can style valve cover. Typical underhood rice.
I know its dark but there is a Tyrus in there.
Autometer Z-Series gauges. Love how it looks OEM.
Custom 50/50 Tails. Looks clean, not ricey.
Look at that sexy beast right after the wash job.
Mods are:
IHI RHB5 Turbo @ 6-7psi
HF mani w/ 2.5 down pipe
Tyrus FMIC w/ 2.5 charge piping
Apex Twin Chamber BOV
Vortech FMU
Synapse Missing Link
Walbro 255lph fuel pump
Stealthmode Oil Lines/Oil Line restrictor
Turbonetics MBC
Autometer Z-Series Gauges
Gripforce Stage 1 Sprung Clutch
The stock exhaust and huge *** charge pipes gives me quite a bit of lag but for now that just acts as good traction control.
I have a ------- beautiful Rank1racing.com (Shitbird) "ramhorn" manifold lying around that I'm putting in next week once the new IHI arrives. Man his welds are so perfect, its hard to believe a human made that thing. I'll have install pics of that.
Once I start my new job I need to get some injectors and get rid of that shitty FMU, but hey, for now its more than functional.

Re:She's back... finally.
Yeah man works great, can't thank you enough for getting it to me as promptly as you did. The clutch isn't anything special, basically a stock replacement but its capable of handling the extra torque from the turb.
Here's a closeup of the MBC for you Stan. I forget who I bought it from but it was from someone on HMT.
