So you just removed all the old brackets and the new one just bolted on? Did you have to modify anything? Also if you remember where you got it could you provide a link?

Any insight you can give me about the throttle body bracket? I am running into the same issue where it is hitting the power steering Btw. Nice build. I'm almost done with mines, just running into small little issues to address.

Any more pictures of the intake manifold? Is it custom? Sweet build thread by the way.

I replaced them with 2 100psi gauges. Make sure they are 1/8 npt. I forgot where I got them but I'm sure you can source yours locally. Then hook it up and do the math. Turns a cheap tool into a pretty good tool for the price I think.

I bought the harbor freight leak down test about a year ago. Only problems I've had was the gauges were shitty out of the box. I replaced them and they are still good. Actually just used them this pass weekend. Can't say too much about the harbor freight pressure tester. Never used theirs...

Yeah I'm with ofnarcr4. That flywheel doesn't look good either. You're probably better off with a new flywheel. Without knowing the history of the car it's just a little added insurance. Why do the job twice?

Why would you not just put a new clutch in anyways? You already got everything apart. How does the flywheel look?

You gotta get under the car and check it. If I recall its on the right hand side.

Did you try posting in the wanted section? I usually have luck over there when I need small things like that. Usually people sell the trim as a set but you might get lucky. Other than that you could try the junkyard. Good luck. Hope you find what you're looking for.

I would check for rotted brake lines. Maybe even get someone to press the brake while you look under there. When you say "just did brakes" what did you exactly do?? Pad slap? Cut rotors or replace them?? Did you lube your slides??? How did the hardware on your caliper bracket look?? There could...

Does your ac compressor kick on??

Did you at one point hear metal to metal grinding??

Tbh I've never had a problem with just using lock tite. If I could reuse the old washers I would with alittle lock tite on the threads as well. It's really up to you. I'm sure you could find them at the dealer.

Would I have to send the rotors out to have them warranty it?? Can't imagine having a car be down for 2 weeks cause of rotors.

Thanks for the input and links guys. Ij where can I find more info on dba?? Quick google search and couldn't really find a site for them. And for the whole eBay disc, a couple of my buddies used them for a little while as well. But they had the drilled and slotted. They didn't have any problems...
