What, no pics of the manual steering rack or should I say racks? Maybe you have selectively erased that particular project from your memory!

90mm MAF capable of 500+ hp with very accurate reading and response. Current MAF is maxing out.

Much more modern a/f controller with 3D mapping. Current ARC2 is going in the trash.

For the cost, the old parts did their job just fine, but just out grew them.

$260.00 total for the new MAF and controller. Not brand new of course. I never pay retail.

Will be installing/tuning in the next week or two.

You know, sending out the wheels to a plating shop could have saved you a lot of money. They would sand blast or acid dip those wheels, removing any traces of the factory plating. Then you can polish, paint, chrome or do whatever to those wheels.

For my project, im replacing the driver's side engine mount, as well as removing the x-over pipe to send out for pressure testing (got a leak somewhere).

Pics will follow once some parts come in.

Man you guys have done tons of nice stuff to your cars.

The first three pic's were sent by the PO to me 4 years ago. Car was in AZ.
My winter project was to polish major parts in the engine compartment and get some new wheels. Im just trying to keep up with Sam The last few pics is of the car in its current state.
