The "ls1 kit" sold by garrett has a supplemental diff. mount which bolts in. I welded mine in. We see if it holds

Got a couple things done today. Prior to re-installing the heater box I cracked it open to clean it out and found that the heater core and the ac evaporator were disgusting...so I replaced them both and cleaned out the box itself....












I also removed all of the old foam padding and replaced it with new stuff...





Installed my immaculate crack free dash and wired up the heater/ac controls...





Began my wire tuck by threading all the wires into the inner fenders....

This is what $80 in new bolts for front/rear suspension looks like. EVERY BOLT on the cars is new...

It's like Japandrew, except you're fucking awesome instead of a ginormous retard

My girlfriend was nice enough to unravel the wiring harness, remove the factory felt/tape, clean all the wires and plugs. We then feed the wiring harness through the firewall and re-wrapped them in new painless braided wrap....

Put a ring on that shit. Fast.

IIRC the OE gasket is less than $20:
