Been a bit since I updated this thread. Project began for real at the beginning of February here.. Still taking my time but am shooting for mid March to have the car back up and running.
A couple pics of the progress:
As it sat before I started pulling stuff off...
After the 1st hour or so I spent on it. Stuff removed: Upper IC piping, Intake box and MAF, SAS Pump and hoses, Right headlight, and a few covers here and there.
2nd session got a bit more interesting...
Stuff removed: Intake Manifold w/ TB, Fuel rail and Whites, Cooling fan, turbo intake pipe, distributor, plug wires, IAC, the rest of the IC piping and couplers, and a few more hoses etc that are getting replaced. (Dont mind the pile of parts on the floor Really need a spot to start putting all that)
Also pulled the dash top off to pull the cluster and run boost hose for the gauge.
And lastly I installed the cluster trim rims and blue LEDs for the gauges, odometer, and info bar.
Next up is drain the coolant system and pull the stock IC out, fan shroud mod, the NA cam swap, PCV, then start to put it all back together. Having alot of fun with everything so far. Going from stock to what its going to be is kinda worrying me as far as the amount of issues i may have to work out haha. But im taking my time and making sure its all done right the 1st time... Ill keep the thread updated as the project moves along...
