Some things I did over winter...

Well after Finishing my Garage at my new house. It was time to Do a little few things to the car ths winter that I didnt get to before.
First was to Install my mustache bar eliminator kit, this makes the rear end solid and saves a good 15+ lbs, Next was some shifting bushings,
and a lower clutch line.
Then it was time to get ride of some usless brakets and such, and remove my intake manifold to get ready for my new one.

New JDM EVO 7 Tail lights

New Mustache bar replacement bracket


Got Bored painted the rear end

Missing Intake Manifold :biggrin:

Re-Routing Vacum Lines

Took the ABS out of the Car. Cleans it up alot!! also saves me about 10lbs

did a little work on this bracket.
Un painted nasty green... :sleep:

Painted, with a few tricks. and all sensors put back on. :supz:

Got Me a Fluidampr, on and installed


Got my brake parts:
What comes with the kit, Even comes with the OEM Clips!

Master Cylinder on.

All lines installed, filled back up with fluid.

So much more room on this side!


Got some new Wastegate springs, 23psi compared to the 19psi ones I had, now 49psi will not be my limit

Trying some new oil out this year, guess its the best anti-wear out.

Here is the Tab-Fab Rear Motor mount that was made, some installed pics!



Thanks to AMS, STM, Tab-Fab for all the parts!!


Will update when i get my New AMS Intake Manifold

Car looks killer!

The motor mount is a Custom unit. It saves 4lbs off the stock one, is made of S.S. but is 100% solid. I would only recomend it to someone that has a solid front motor mount, like the AMS one. This is a prototype one off as well. A Jig was made, but some modifications need to be made if there is to be more made.

Curious why you removed the ABS?

Maybe you can get a parachute instead; your car definetly looks to be fast enough to warrant one .
