I believe there is a pass through beneath the master cylinder, down and offset to passenger side (though clearly on driver's side). It's a tube w/ a rubber cap that has 3 little cylinders on it, all together, maybe 3/4" round.

That one has a 4 gauge wire, 8 gauge wire, EGT wiring and vacuum line going through it so it's packed. I may be able to get everything else through the second grommet on the pass side it's going to be very tight though.

I've gotten tired of scrubbing things and I think I'm permanently damaging my wrist so I bought a new tool.

it can do this :) (NA TB will have a 960 plate in it soon)

Did you use one of those wire wheel thingys? Also, it's a good idea with the turbo plumbing. I'd like to convert to an aftermarket intercooler but honestly, don't feel like playing around with pipes/couplers/saws/etc. :lol:

Lookin good so far!! Was the bead blaster what you posted a mystery pic of in the "recent purchases" thread a while back??

yeah it was a pic of my friends head in the blaster after we finished putting it together(no air hooked up!) :) I figured no one was ever going to figure that picture out so..

Expensive or not that bad?? Parts look brand new!

not too bad, It's a cheap cabinet but with a couple tubes of caulking it seals up pretty good. The expensive part is the air compressor. It really needs a 60 gal with 5 HP and 15-20 CFM. I may have found one used for a few hundred.

do you think you could fit an 18'in wheel in there?

no unfortunately :( for that you will spend minimum $1000 for the just the cabinet. maybe someday.

17s are the biggest you can fit .

I had the same one in red but never used it lol

hmm I may need to dismount some tires to see if volans will fit. I've been thinking about white PC'd volans for the 850 :lol:
