Yeah, they look sweet, primer on half the wheel, blue paint on half the tire...........that's what you wanted him to do right? I had to pay extra, the bill is in the mail. :teeth:

[Scones]

So when do we get to see the pics? If you want I could snap some with the digi cam and host 'em for you.

^Thanks bro, but my lady's got one too, I'll have 'em up soon enough. I just got the wheels back on today, I'll be driving it tomorrow to work w/no mirrors or trim. Thanks for the wheels man, what do you want me to do with 'em??

[Scones]

Just hold onto them for a while for me if you don't mind. I'm in the middle of moving to the new house and I'll know better after this weekend where I want them to go.

Its coming along nicly. Will you have it out this summer?

HEY GUYS , NOT KNOCKING ANYTHING HERE.. BUT I TOO USED THIS INTERCOOLER ABOVE MADE 900RWHP, WITH IT , BUT IT SUCKS IT HOLDS THE MOTOR BACK , WHEN I SWITCHED TO A BAR/PLATE DESIGN 3 CORE COOLER I WENT UP TO 1145 INSTANTLY...LOOK INTO IT., AGAIN THESE COOLERS ARE GOOD FOR ABOUT 800RWHP , BUT YOU ARE INDEED CHOCKING YOUR MOTOR, AND HEAT SOAK IS ABSOULUTLY REDICULAS WITH THEM AS WELL...

Yeah this IC is only good to 650 WHP on the type of cfm we need to move. The one I have is a bar and plate design. Heat soak would be ridiculous because of the cfm you were trying to force though it LOL. The IC was way too small for your setup.

i should have added , it is the best bang for the buck... cheapest ic. iv seen around for the power level it holds....

[Scones]

I paid $60 for mine and it looks like new...it'll work until i need something bigger.

With the move finally all finished I have time to post some update pics for those of you still following.

Here is the MSD 6BTM my buddy gave me for lending him my daily driver for a month after his died. He had it laying around and no use for it, and even though I never asked for it I appreciated that as much he appreciated the loan of my car.


The sacrifice the SAAB FMIC demanded for use in a 4 eye. And yes, it's like that for both high beams.


Even though it's a tight fit, you can still get the silicone couple on it.


Wish I would have known before hand, but these headers are going to require the relocation of the starter solonoid and coil....the down pipe fits in where they are. Oh well.


The passenger header fits in nice, pleny of clearance to access the spark plugs.


So here's where she sits now. Can't afford waterpump bolts, but xmas is coming and all I'm asking for is parts. I need waterpump bolts, autolite 3924 plugs for the E7 heads, a couple wastegate actuators, and a silicone reducer.
I hate being laid off.


Got an early xmas present from my bro though. Found this at used Westside for $60. Came with 30psi boost guage and Air/Fuel Ratio meter that ties into the stock o2 sensor. Not as good as a wideband but better than nothing.
