very nice man, that car has sure come a long way and looks amazing. keep it up!!

why dont you run air to air setup on the turbo kit?

climb385

thank you
i thought about sellign the air to water kit but, it come with my kit, and its all in great shape other than the overspray, so i figured ill run it till something happens to the h/e, plus i think it will be cool to have something different

climb385

Haha thanks riceburner, I can't wait to get the boost flowing, but as much as I want to get it done, I'm in no rush to get it going just taking my time collecting all the right parts todo it right the first time, I'd like todo lsj front brakes b4 I boost it, better to stop than go fast and not stop

Love your car man. Where at in the burgh are ya?

When you did the power door swap, was it all bolt in/plug and play, or did you have to do some extensive fabbing/splicing to get that all in there?

climb385

im from jefferson hills/west mifflin area, i live about 5 mins from bower subaru/nissan/gmc and the regulators bolted right in and plugs right in but i had to run power wire, ground and wires across the car for the other door, still need to finishing wiring the power locks, i just got my aftermarket keyless entry
