got a little bit of progress done.

I used 1 inch heat shrink on the coil stems instead of nail polish. works excellent. got pics will post tomorrow.

also i have my oil pressure sender adapter from DM at home now and a 7M sender from CSNOW. so that will be getting put in this week, then hopefully the harness will be finished and all is good!

looking good nice progress and a clean shell. i just picked up an 88 black/grey and i must say i kinda like how it looks with the pre 89 tails and 89 spoiler and bumper.

hahahaa sorry chris

we honestly thought it'd be a 10 min fix

well we got it all running and running GOOOD i might add, but after painting the valve covers they are leaking like a SIV in the back and all down the bellhousing. after driving it a total of 10 mins it lost about 1.5 quarts *sigh*

so new valve cover gaskets this weekend and the car will be GOLDEN

man it runs so good its like stock. turbo spools ALOT faster with the tial and the aristo timing/fuel map. i love it!!!!!

i dont know if you noticed it but at the top of 2nd gear it started to haze the tires a little. on only 12 psi too
