Preparing for Spring.

The car has been sitting all winter as I received in parts. Work started last night. I'll keep updating with the build as I get things knocked out. I autox for fun and do track days so gearing towards that.





Parts:

18X9.5 Rota with +20 offset
265/35/18 Kumho XS tires


Perrin 3 port
Blue relay for safety.


Porsche Brake Guides
ATE Blue
Hawk HP+ Pads
Stainless Brake Lines
ETS Turbo Back
ETS 3.5" FMIX
ETS Intercooler Pipes
ETS Intake
Witeline rear sway bar
Swift Springs
AMS shifter bushings



Schroth Harnesses - in their display form. Ha!



Old FMIC next to new



Basic and simple parts for this year. Next year I'll get more suspension parts. But wanted to start here and have a fun spring/summer/fall DD as well. Winter it's parked.

I started it a month ago. That count?

Yes those are Torques. I'll have some good shots of them on the car in about a week. Headed home from work to finish the exhaust and a few other things. I'll snap those pics tonight and most them.

Currently stuck on the O2 housing. The only bolt left is the stud with a nut on the drivers side. No idea how to even get at it. Any ideas? I even removed the waste gate arm.

Gearwrench or some other ratcheting wrench. I broke one doing this though, luckily craftsman has a good warranty program.

Yep just got it. I had one of those and just couldn't figure the angle out.

Finally got it.

Lay under the car, you can then feel the bastard nut/stud, get the wrench on it then use the cement floor as leverage and break it free. Nuts!

Some Pics:

I hate this part with every once in my body! Luckily now I know the process next time for which I never hope there is.



Exhaust and sway bar:






Swifts on the front:



Just the front an lower:




I should have everything set up and on the ground later this week. Only have rears to do , brakes, and UICP/Intake.
