First Shippment of Parts

So if the car wasn't still at the body shop, I would have some cool install pictures posted up.  Sadly, it is, and I don't have.  Sorry.  Instead, I have the loads of parts taking up my second bedroom.

Yesterday I picked up the Buschur Racing intercooler and short route piping.  Also there is the Walbro 255 fuel pump (direct tank drop in) and Precision 1000cc injectors (plug and play baby!).  And to the side, is the AEM intake. 



Missing from the pictures is the Excedy Twin Disc clutch and flywheel.  Those will be here in a few days.
The AEM intake will have to be fitted, as I still have to make a 52mm restrictor and have that installed pre-turbo within 4". 

Some suspension parts showed up a week or so ago.


Megan Racing aluminum threaded lower toe arms.  They allow an additional 20mm of adjustment in and outward of the range of the stock cam bolt.

Whiteline front roll center kit, bump steer kit and steering precision kit.  Impressively enough, the Whiteline roll center kit total costs about the same as one OEM tie rod.   That's the wonderful world of aftermarket.

And the newest beauties showed up today.  To replace those heavy headlight assemblies, some nice light weight carbon fiber headlight covers.  Yum!




At just a couple ounces each, these will yield a high percentage weight loss.  Likely 10-20lbs total.

The car should hopefully be back to my shop this weekend, and then I will have some nice car-porn to post up.
