Got the oil pan powder-coated today, textured black. Feels rock hard, like stone guard.... ...and so does the oil pan...(sorry, couldn't help it.) Going to bring a few things to a metal refinisher shop tomorrow, to be re-zinc'd, like the coolant and vac pipes, alternator adjuster, crank...

Lol- Those Hoosiers look brutal on there- in a good way!

Welcome to the forums on your first post. This is the wrong section for such a thread, though. The mods will move it to the General MkIV discussion section, most likely.

True for the front as well.

Um. Please tell me those aren't plastic zip ties, because on close inspection, they SURE do look like it... :yikes:

Ah. What about SupraMANIA members? :biggrinbo Yeah, I knew that. I just *thought* it would be a similar price with little piddly stuff. I was wrong.

Oil pan, stripped for paint: Bagged and tagged, till I get the gasket set, and a few other things:

Well, they're not getting fed. No, my local stealership. I asked how much a new oil galley plug was- $36.00!! Well, I hope that FIPG is better than most of the stuff I can buy at my local parts stores. Do you think I should reconsider?

Threw on the NA filter union on, and slapped a few other bits on, including a test fit of the head gasket. Looks like only one rivet is a concern:

Well, maybe no winner, but I know I'm the loser.

Will someone PLEASE tell me, what universe is this stuff worth $55.07???

Thank you sir.

Interesting read.

Wow. Ok, I'm now thinking it's a 3/8 bsp.

$255 from Driftmotion.com Hmm. Looked up the bearing online, and found that Oreilly auto sells them for both turbo and na. NA- $89.99 (Anchor part#8588) Turbo- $346.99 (Pioneer part #648588) Holy Shiite muslim. Then I read a thread on here that says NA will fit turbo...

Looks great.

So, my question is... oh. I guess I already asked it. Anybody know? It's either 5/8x18, or M16x1.5. ...i think.

Wow. THAT motor won't be used again. ever. I have read that the W58 tranny is fine up to 300hp. I used to have that setup with the gte(260hp), and it was quick. The car looks even better with the black and white photos- can't even tell that it's not one color. :)
