Does anyone know the correct banjo fitting used to tap off of this brake master calender?
The hardlines i made are not as clean as i'd like to see them. That sharp bend off the side outlet is so damn close to the shock tower!

my suggestion? get an air filter on there so you don't screw up your engine.

Nice work hiding the clutch MC there in the cowl trim! That's pretty trick.

I haven't been able to find this so far, although I'm sure it's within the 500 pages of this thread...Is it possible to tuck the fusebox in the passenger compartment while still retaining Heat/AC/Airbags?

And I think I know the answer to this, but is there room for the OEM battery tucked behind the fender liner? Just bought a new battery last year, not looking to have to buy a smaller one!

How are you guys splitting up power off your batteries? Just a new terminal with multiple openings, or some sort of termination block?

Thanks!

Not a big fan of the AEM sticker. I think the AEM coupler is enough AEM advertising in one place. May I ask where the valve cover color came from? It is very bright. Is that the color of the outside of the car? Looks nice and clean.



Just a suggestion for security purposes. I know back in the day that if a theif wanted this car and knows this car that he would simply stab that battery and go sit for a few minutes till the battery died from drainage and then towed it off. Why not make an enclosed box that was also a security feature. And yes stab right through the fender.



Have a good one.

really dont care if it shows thru the bumper. I cant count how many cars ive seen with a half rad and no ac. and you can see the header thru the bumper. (incl one of my previous cars)

ehh i dont care. im not a big fan of lambo doors.
no the car is black. the valve cover color is like a baby blue/teal. its krylon from Wally world.
heres a better pic

for that.

butto me it being there looks taky cause you cut up the cowl should have left it in its stock position if you didnt wanna have to take th cowl off everytime instead of cuting it up. least thats what i think.
