I think he wants someone who will help work on his car and not just sit around and rap all day.

Can rock even rap? Well I need to finish my car before I start working, and it is a bad economic decision to continue working on the car in lieu of starting working for $$$

got some fun toyz tonite in the mail- got my bushings from QA1 (jegs) and my stuff from Lindsey- full gasket kit + turbo seals, kn MAF filter, custom IC->turbo pipe, all belts, oil pan baffle, crap load of silicone hose(blue) and an oil filter. Should get me started- i have a couple questions though...

if i have a solid trans mount, should i get solid engine mounts?
will that rattle my teeth out?

my maf is 3" and my kn filter is 4"- is there another filter i need or do i need an adapter?

some modification needs to be done to the coolant pipe on the turbo to clear the cold side...can you just bend the pipe or do i need to have a custom deal made?

i had alot of fun with this one. I ended up making my own piece for this. I started to bend mine and it cracked, I'm sure if you are very careful you can bend it without messing i up.

if you have a solid tranz mount dont go to a solid motor mount. You will hate it. Unless if its a track car

anyone running the LindseyRacing dampened two piece mounts? Look pretty cool. I'll prob just bite the bullet and end up w/ a set of new stock german mounts.

Dan, do you have the threaded spacer out of the turbo for the coolant line? with this, it gave me just enough room to get the stock coolant pipe around the cold side, but I am still going to have to extend the hose from the expansion tank, as it comes up about 1" short.

i dont have it apart yet but i'll see what i need when its apart. Im sure it'll be alittle of everything to make it clear. I have new coolant hoses so hopefully they are alittle long and i can make them work.

anyone running a 3" maf w/ a 4" k$n filter? I can either sell this one (new) and get a kn w/ a 3" outlet or make an adapter for this which may look funny.
