they said its the right mount so im gonna man handle it tomorow with my buddy Big C

didnt get the mounts done today didnt have a second pair of hands so figured id get the cables connected to the pedals.... the clutch cable is to short i hooked it to the pedal inside and there was no slack in the line to even adjust it, is there a difference between the 92-93 cables to 90-91 mine was messed up so pulled the one off the 90 parts DA


painted my bat tray and support. the mounting bolts were rusty as Fk so i blasted them very clean now

so today i was gonna start it and start swaping some stuff over from my DA but the battery was dead and they have to charge it for 8-10 hours cause its a optima lol..... also had to wait for them to order my belts, so i just did some small stuff today i got the clutch cable to work the boot was pulled over a piece to much and wouldnt let it fully extend so got that figured out the bracket was looking a little rough so we blasted it and painted it

New Oil filter and Oil its ready to go just need belts and a Battery


Befor

During


blasted

Painted


I also liked how my "Spoots Intake" i made when i was in high school sounded so i made another one lol spoots is my last name backwards its a inside joke with me and my friends

We are gonna mod the hood so it will fit




Lol jk

Started with the stock lower piece removed the lower chamber


Cut it out


Cut my PCV pipe to length i wanted used electrical tape to make a seal i know ghetto but it works really great

Big Sexy modeling the "Spoots Intake"(AKA Big C)


Now to plug up the other hole i used more tape and a piece off one of my BK crowns
First layer

The crown piece


Sealed

K&N drop in Filter

Finished

That intake is purty cool! I just pulled off the resonator and that seems to have worked well, as least as far as the way the motor sounds.
