^Now that's clean! ;) So, what do you guys think...touch it up and then hit it with ~1800 grit? Then maybe polish it a little after that?

Thanks! I'm not sure what to do about the scratches yet. I'm wondering if touching them up will only make them look worse...? Maybe someone will chime with good advice on that. It took about an hour. I didn't do anything toward the top. I only worked up as far as the blankets because I...

ACT Clutch install FTW!!! :)

Dawn, Gunk, a plastic scraper, blue towels, one other thing, and a TON of elbow grease! :) PM'd...

Then I attacked my engine bay. Thanks to a certain someone's tip, this turned out awesome with less effort! ;) Before: After:

LOTS of things accomplished today! My buddy came over at 7 and we sorted out my transmission problem. (gotta watch IJ with the 'tranny' word ;)) Then I started unboxing more parts. Here's a little goodie from DM. A CSI Stanless Steel Braided Line.

Ok. Here it is... Before: After: I'll bet it's safe to say that my car lost 5 pounds just in dirt removal! ;) I ended up using a few different things. Dawn liquid soap and Gunk was my arsenal of choice. I also employed a VERY nice tip from someone on here. There will be...

It appears that I'm going to have to watch my use of that word with you IJ. ;)

Thanks Fred. A lot of this wouldn't be possible without you! Much appreciated! :) There is a minor issue with my tranny so my buddy is coming over Saturday morning to sort it out. After that, I plan on mating it up to the engine with the new clutch and new flywheel insert. THEN...

Thanks. I've been toying with building a small device to monitor injector pulse duration. We'll see... Yeah, I remember watching your afr's in one of your vids. ~10.4....yeah, you play it safe. ;) You know what they say: It's better to be rich and retarded than lean and broke. :)

The later firmware versions for the Maft incorporate timing control. That feature is still getting the kinks worked out. grimreaper has been toying with it for some time. If he sees this question, I'm sure he'll chime in. crisp: What device are you tracking/calculating duty cycle with?

This next series of photos are of yet another very rare piece. This is a lower intake runner that has been Extrude Honed by Stillen Racing. Hopefully the pics adequately show off how nice the runners are. And of course I painted it flat black. ;)

Ok. I'm pulling out some more new parts. Here is a 'Stikky' thermal Intake Manifold Gasket.

Yeah, the Blitz Elbow is a little too bright for my taste too. Hopefully it'll darken some after a few heat cycles and the coating cures. Paint the Heat Shields...? Hmm...I've already been asked that. I don't know yet. I'm thinking of having them ceramic coated also. We'll see. The Turbo...

I am on a stock motor with the exception of an HKS MHG and ARP Headstuds. On the stock fuel system, I made ~300whp for about a year. I now have all supporting mods along with the Maft Pro. I made a reliable 360-370 for around 6 months. I know that's not a long time; but, I can vouch for...

Believe it or not, this was on a JDM that I bought. The outfit is in Boise. I'm glad no one spotted it along it's journey to me! :)

Flat Black with silver/gray ribs will look nice! Do it! :)

Well, it was Christmas all over again! More parts arrived today. First up, my Blitz Elbow. You'll probably NEVER see another one of these! It arrived from getting Ceramic Coated. The color is called "Fresh Blast". This color looked ok on their website; but, I was a little disappointed once...

Well, as long as I get the ALL the credit, I'm ok with it!!!! :biglaugh:

Another vote for meth. It'll be cheaper in the long run and less of a hassle for you.
