Thanks man. Yeah I'll probably be dropping the engine in next week (hopefully) or the week after, so I'll need some help with that if your not too busy.
Thanks dude, glad you like it!
I got up early this morning and bought a metal chop saw and some misc. metal. Then I went to town on my hatch.
Started with a blank canvas:
Carpeted the back of my seats:
I finally built the hatch cross-bar that I have been thinking about for a while now. This was probably the...

Well I just bought it today, so I might not have lost the reciept yet.
But did I miss something, whats wrong with fram? I have run fram filters on all of my cars in the past and never had a problem. What brand should I buy? Honestly, you guys don't even have to give me a reason and I'll get...

Couple quick turbo shots:

My goal is to have the car running by July 1st, so we shall see...

Heat shield installed:
My wastegate:
Wastegate & dump-tube:

My BOV:
My massive RX7 oil cooler:
