woot!
I want some recaros, lucky(napolian dynamite voice). Are those seats alot lighter than the stock ones? Hows the comfort?
Too bad I have burgundy interior. That looks pimp! I know I have seen it before, but damn. Grey/Recaro interior FTW!

Oh yeah they are alot lighter then stock! This is my second set that I have bought and this set is mint!
They are very comfortable but stock wins as far as luxury goes... Jaguar;1047838 said:
Its not to late for you bro
I see recaros in your future ...
Well if you say so. I haven't touched my car in nearly 3 years as its been running like a champ, I added Brian Crower 264 cams and 1000cc injectors and the car was great until... I went to the dyno in January as I finally had the money to try and dyno tune but I was sent away in disappointment. Car was having several issues wile at UMS tuning, my coils where fried and my fuel system was failing. So as of today the car is under the knife and my setup is getting revamped, getting 2 new duel walbro fuel pumps with 12v relay mod and getting the 1ZZ coil treatment. I plan on running E-85 on this setup, and then ill take her back to the dyno.
Coils are in and work great, pictures to come soon... Now installing the fuel lines and then the engine comes out to get some cleaning treatment of the engine bay and engine...
awesome build, man. What did you do with the charcoal canister? It looks like you got rid of it, but I've read that's bad for the pressure in the fuel tank. Did you just relocate it?

Thanks, I have heard the same thing about pressure builds up in the take without the charcoal canister hooked up, I did experience a fuel tank rupture in a 88' I had but the tank ruptured before I bought the car but I do not believe that was due to not having a charcoal canister hooked up, the line was capped by one of the previous owners before I had purchased the car.
My current 89' I haven't run a charcoal canister in 4 years with it capped with no issues.
Good to see. I'm in the middle of my 1j swap, & was wanting to put something (like a vacuum block) in that corner. Thanks for the input.
Update: Sent off my valve covers, throttle body, intake manifold, and turbo housing off to the polisher to start working on them, I also bought a few other goodies.
I also bought the DM power steering line, and oil pressure line, also a hydro fan line. I will be also sending my turbo manifold, rear turbo housing, down pipe and wastegate off to get hot coated.
