Building a Boosted Duratec
Ok... I see I haven't posted anything for a while now. Here we go!!

I just dropped the motor in.
I had Joey swing by and help me (Teach Me) to adjust a Coil Spring. Here we go low...

Put the Rad in to test is the piping fits around. It does.

This is how low she sits now. I have to raise it a little and flare it too.

I hooked up the Stainless lines to the Power Steering.

Time to change the Caliper Colour

I had to insert this bolt backwards so the Massiv End link didn't get damaged.

Started to clean up the Transmission wiring harness for the Auto to Manual. Brandon did the hard work of figuring out what's what... so I still kind of don't know because while he was working on that I was working on the Front Toe of the car.

Dad bought me a Flip DVD head unit. It looks good and sounds even better.

Joey and I painted the Valve cover and I love it!!!!

To the LEFT. I ran the Coolant lines from the Heater Core of the car and tied them up to the rest of the system. The two ports from Front of the Water Manifold and the Thermostat I have to use the stock rubber hoses... I can't source large enough Stainless lines that don't cost a small fortune. SO whatever...

I made sure the sparkplugs are tight and then bolted the valve cover down. I still need to get washers for the bolts. But! the WeaponX Coilpacks are in. I use some Dielectric Grease in the boots and snapped them in place.

I also had time the other night to clean up the Valvecover harness. It's a disaster under the loom. So I just made it somewhat clean and installed new loom to make it prettier... To a point.

The Fuel Line is held up to the Firewall. The main power line has been half run into the engine bay. The Battery Post have been mounted. Oh and the old Tranny Cooler for the Auto has been converted to a big Oil Cooler for the engine now. It too has been painted bright green by Joey lol.

I slide the Top Rad Support tin place and placed my new Headlights to see how it looks.

So ya, that's what I have been doing lately.

I also have some interior pieces updated but no pictures yet. All LED conversion. Stereo bezel sparkled. and some now Prosport Digital EVO series gauges with pod cups and a new A-piller trim piece to clean things up.
I have some switches to hook up, a hoochie horn to install and a RoadRunner Horn to install too lol.
Not much more to do. Going to order up the Racer package in the next few days. Maybe Sean can hook me up... lol Big GrinBig Grin

There is still a lot to do. Winter is so dam close and Brandon seriously needs a Rear Engine Mount (Jamie...) and he needs to raise his car up to get into my underground parking lmao. The funniest and scariest moment of my life was in that car Friday evening lol.
