+1 I enjoy reading your build thread, you are doing great work!

what about something like the racelogic systems?

that new style window trim looks great. I wonder how much a shop would charge to replace the stock stuff without replacing the windows?

So 1-3/4" .095" 4130 or .120" DOM for the main bar and 1-1/4" x .095" 4130 or .120" DOM for the lowers. Thanks I found this site awhile ago, has some nice stuff if you want to fab your own: http://www.ballisticfabrication.com/ Just FYI, Nashman welded in a bar about where the harness bar is...

you should make your valvecovers match the turbo.

i think that green will look great in the engine bay

if you find someone to do it, please post up where and an approx price.

It is obviously up to you, it is your car, but keep in mind it might not just be you that gets injured. As was mentioned, if you add a harness bar, the belts simply wrap over to get the proper angle, your retracters would still work as designed.

i meant the angle, read this: http://www.sparcousa.com/resourceFiles/16.pdf in an accident, your mounting would compress you down into the seat, which i would imagine could do some damage. i may be completely mistaken, it just looks wrong to me.

Nice work, but shouldn't your harness be mounted higher?

Check some of the forum vendors, VRP has some nice turbos, and I'm sure they could work something out that fits your power goals and budget.

I would buy one of these. They will have to price it below the Genesis Coupe, especially if its non turbo.

out of curiousity, what is your budget for the turbo?

weird, yours has a hose barb on it. mine is simply a hole. do you know what kind of locking clip that is? did it come with the valve (mine didnt)?

ouch, sorry to see the damage, luckily it looks like you can replace everything fairly easily. i would replace the door panel, unless you want to recover the arm rest.

that appears to be an upgraded ECU by Reg Reimer (I think thats the name), one of the original MKIII tuners. It will have an upgraded/upgradable chip in it with new fuel/spark/etc. 5 seconds on google: http://www.monsterhorsepower.com/ contact them for details

looks good, ditch the red wheels ASAP.

with 550s, forged pistons, and a T4 turbo, aim for 400+ rwhp. It will all come down to tuning. I would suggest a Maft Pro running speed density. And don't forget a new fuel pump (walbro or similar). And I agree, needs a drop, and some non-stock wheels.

-10 required, or is -8 still ok? -8 is a 1/2" line, still bigger than stock IIRC
