Cruisn's turbo build
Start:
Well.. everyonce in a while I will come on and update pictures...

hood, fenders, and bumper is off.


please note fat tires...

Update:

completed today: sub frame dropped
axles pulled
tranny dropped
clutch removed

Time taken: 3 hours

And onto pictures:

Start of the day:


Subframe Dropped:


Sway bar comparing:



Even got the woman to help:


I am under there somewhere....



Clutch removed:
This is after 154000km's of driving!!! GM clutches are jsut fine if you can drive properly.

this car was raced every friday for 4 months a year for 2years at the track. and is driven very hard on a daily basis!!



not even down to the studs yet...


no major wear on the pressure plate


Not really any heat scorching happening either.
