My baby is pretty much done!!!
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.

Re: My baby is pretty much done!!!
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?

Re: My baby is pretty much done!!!
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.
Since then, I have done...
FP3065 Turbo w/ Lines FP O2 Housing Tial 44mm V-band Wastegate Wastegate Dump To Atmosphere Tube SBR Exhaust Manifold SBR Heat Shield PWR Liquid/Air Barrel 6x6" Intercooler + Custom Piping, Mishimoto Aluminum Radiator Mishimoto Silicon Radiator Hoses Buddy Club Radiator Cap Hose Techniques Silicon Intercooler Hoses HKS Intake Silimline Fans Greddy Type-S Blow Off Valve Apex-i N1 Cat-back Apex-i N1 DP Apex-i Grounding/Voltage Regulator Aeromotive FPR Steal Braided Fuel Lines 850cc Injectors Walboro 255lph Fuel Pump Odyssey Mini Battery RoadRace Stage 2 Head SuperTech Dual High Tension Springs SuperTech 1mm Oversized Black Nitrate Valves SuperTech Brass Guides SuperTech Valve Seals Ferrea Valve Locks ARP Head Studs ARP Main Bolts ARP Rod Bolts DSM Link Boomslang ECU Harness 3" GM MAF MAF Translator Apex-i AVCR Black AC AutoTechnic EL Cluster Kit Gizmo Tach Light Pioneer AVH-P7800DVD Headunit Pioneer AVG-VDP1 Vehicle Dynamics Processor Tein Basic Coilovers Tien F/R Pillowball Upper Mounts Tein Hood Dampers DC Sport F/R Carbon Steel Strut Bars 5Ziggen FN0R1C 17in Matt Black Wheels Dunlop Tires Power Slot F/R Rotors Earl's Plumbing SS Brake Lines Race Pads Sparco Speed Driver & Passenger Seats Sparco Race Driver & Passenger Harnesses Sparco Pedals Auto Power FIA approved Roll/Harness Bar Black Housing Projector "Angel Eyes" Headlights
Here are the maintenence/cosmetic fixes:
New Black Carpet Replaced Cracked/Warn OEM interior trim pieces Replaced both front and rear bumpers with OEM ones (the ones on there were scratched/cracked up and looked like shit) New Front Fender Liners Painted brake calipers black Replaced and flushed every fluid possible Rebuilt front axle New coolant hoses and coolant lines (metal pipes) Heat shielded all coolant hoses near turbo and exhast manifold Tons of new OEM engine parts replaced.
Ran out of money... so here's what's in the next month or so...
Re-seal Rear Diff (Leaking) Sparco Shift Knob Sparco Shift Boot Sparco Parking Brake Handle Sparco Parking Brake Boot Sparco Stearing Wheel Fix some dings and scratches and repaint front and rear bumpers because the guy who painted them before sucked.
then the future...

Re: My baby is pretty much done!!!
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?

Re: My baby is pretty much done!!!
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!
