So here's a picture of my baby. We were going to start it yesterday until we noticed the freeze plug had a crack in it so it was leaking coolant and has to be replaced. No big deal though... will replace it and hope to start it this weekend. Here is a picture of it from yesterday.

Just have to wire in DSM link clutch wire, shift light and then finish installing the Sparco pedals, then put in roll/harness bar, then Sparco seats and harnesses. Finally tune. Then the monster is unleashed.

If anyone cares, I can give a full list of mods. It's VERY long, haha.

Can't wait to see some results from that thing.

And if you don't mind me asking how much was the air to water cooler set-up?

So yeah I'm bored at work so here's the list... I think I got all of it...

Purchased car in December 2006. It was 100% stock for $4800. No accidents.

Wow. Looks like a hell of a project. Keep us updated! I've got to ask, where the heck are you putting the air intake pipe/filter?

Holy shiz nitz man! I hope thats not your DD. lol

Very interested on checking out that water cooled intercooler. Great setup!

dam that is a good looking set up. i would like to see the cop's face if you were to get your hood popped open, and see that huge pipe hooked up to your intake. their going to be like me a non turbo car with a huge turbo in their faces, and he gets me for my breather filter on my catch can.LoL.....good luck with your new set .

Good news! Started the car yesterday for the first time and it fired right up! Idled perfectly! No leaks, no overheating, everything worked great. Now just have to wire a couple things in and put the seats and pedals in, a tune and it's ready to go!
