Oopdayte.
Precliffnotes: still have shitty exhaust leak, need to finish vaccum pump deal, ic systems decent, starting new methanol setup, dont ever let your alternator **** out
Rerouted all the cooling **** to run a stock fillerneck for now, used a bunch of 90° pipes and stuff to do it, came out pretty trick. Bear with my awesome pictures



Threw on the moroso catch can dealio.,, looks sick there instead of the option b

Also got to throw on new alternator today. God dammit what a pain in the dick that was! Had to remove ic pump and the bracket, and the ac condensor to replace.
And to top it all off its squeaking even worse now, the belts fine on all ribs of all ribs of all pulleys. So idk naybe tnesioner **** out? Pissed lol

Take the belt off, and start the car. Squeaking still there? If it's not, then that'll tell you it's one of the pulleys or the belt. Spin each one of them (pulleys) individually with your hand.

Good ideas, good ideas..
Admittedly, i did spill some coolant on the belt hookin up the main hose
Idk whats up with ne and exhaust leaks. Coppertech header gasket, torqued in the proper sequence with new bolts and studs, new vband clamp, bent the ears back of the dp/catback flange to undo the () shape the mating surfaces were making, and a felpro gasket between those. New clamps for the catback pieces too. Like wtf
