Got delayed for a few weeks due to school and other things.
With any luck it will fire tonight!

Mounted my catchcan:


Engine bay shot...just need to put on the cam tower and belts then do a little wiring and finish the temporary IC pipes (friend will be TIG'ng me up some one piece ones once I get it running and down to his place)

Nice to see it all coming together. It always seemed to me that the last few steps on re-assembly take forever... What are you using for boost control?

alxdgr8

Just going to be using a MBC (have to see what PSI my wastegate springs are first) for now until I upgrade my Vitesse system to VFlex and then I'll be using the electronic system that offers.

Nice, are you planning on going to E85 w/the VFlex?

alxdgr8

Yeah, eventually I'd like to have the option of running it. We'll see how she does on pump gas first and then see if there is enough headroom with the injectors to make more power on E85.

Worked some on mounting the headlights to make sure everything fit and snapped some few pics with the bumper on (not bolted on or anything).

Euro fog/driving lights:


FMIC clearance to GT Racing splitter (still need to fab up ducting to the radiator)


Drivers side headlight mounted (paint doesn't match exactly right but planning on respraying some things in the future so I'll do the headlights then):


Stole some inspiration from Elliott with his black/green theme as I will be doing a White/Red "968CS" theme. If I don't like it everything is easy to change.




FMIC through the bumper cover:

"Alex's Engineering"

It's an ebay intercooler (CXRacing "RX7 V-Mount") with a core size of 18"x11"x3" (overall 24"x11"x3")

Been super busy with lost of stuff...mainly moving, but that's also the reason for getting the car done. Moving to Seattle in 1.5 weeks so I have to have the car our of the garage at school.

Needs plugs and a few small things to start up...then I just have to finish the wheels and get the tires mounted!

Have to leave the day of the Fest so I won't be able to make it

looks amazing.

Got new plugs, powdercoated IC pipes black chrome to match other parts, finished remounting the PS rack/control arms/sway bar, made wiring harnesses for euro fogs.

Waiting on my wastegate adapters (at machine shop getting threads tapped) and some T-bolt clamps...both should here on Friday. Going to work on the wheels tomorrow so I can get the tires mounted on Friday also.

So close!
