Default Turbo Sol back into action....

Spring cleaning is out of the way, now its time for car revival...

You can Kinda see an intercooler through the grille:

STD mani soon to be replaced with my LoveFab stainless tubular mani: Td04 turbo. Full boost at 2500 rpm (still a little left at the top of rev-band)

New powdercoating on valve-cover, fuel rail, and all piping:

My G/F installing her harnesses:

A lil bit of End tank:

We are installing a clutch today...How long does it take you guys to get one in and out ready to roll? Clutch is ACT Extreme w/street disk.
I think this car is a perfect sleeper because:
a.) Its ricey, and most people would think it was all show and no go.
b.) A girl is driving, and most people wouldnt think a girl could possibly be fast

clutches on a D series is basic, to be honest. Should take around 2-3 hours at the most...B series is about the same, only problem i have with H series is the 100lb tranny....

btw, i'll have the $$ sent out tomorrow asap.

We actually met in a local garage. We were aquaintences, just knew eachother because of our cars. Well one night I was hanging out with some buddies and she showed up for a brake-job. I stayed late that night, finished the job, and then got a job of my own We have been together ever since.

On the clutch issue, she was scared to drive the car. She did all that work, got dirty and everything, so I got the first honors...all I can say is
totally different car now

ya my camera blows i know...maybe I will invest in a better one soon here. My g/f did most of the install, except the lifting of the tranny. I just "advised" her from behind, ya know, like golf coaches do she kept getting pissed off because she couldnt get any work done...haha
I will get some pictures of her plastered across the hood once we see some sun again...Springs here! woo hooo...!
