    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    A little item I pick up reciently, not sure if I'm going to use it though: OS Giken triple plate for the 7m, still need to figure out the conversion to push from pull. Possibly going with a hydraulic throwout set-up like Ron R's, but not for a while. Something like this:

    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    Went with a N/A power steering reservior to clean up the bay a bit, it will also make the custom 4" stainless steel intake pipe take a straighter path (hasn't been built yet).

    I got in on that leatherseats.com group buy in 2005, and had them put black perforated alacantra (fake suede) in the center and on the door panels. Loved how it turned out, but for the money I think the fit/quality could have been better (one of the tabs was sewn in the wrong spot, so it had to...

    I drove this set up for about 3000 miles and loved the power it delivered, but we could never seem to get it tuned correctly. I bought an Innovative LM-1 WB to help, but still couldn’t get the car to run as strong as it could. Then I decided to go standalone and bought and installed an AEM EMS...

    FTF I've got two 89+ front bumpers I'd be willing to let go for the right price. The first one is painted white and came off of my current set-up. It has a repairable crack the exact shape of a Jeep's 2" reciever hitch just under the passenger grill (guess why I know it was a Jeep's). You...
