I will. PM me.

aight so back from school. time to get to work. you guys feelin these seats?



added a nice greddy boost gauge. the color at night matches the orange stock lighting pretty well. too bad I couldnt find one with a black face. Not to sure about the location of this either. Its not too bad when driving so will see how it goes


Added some switches for cooling fan and gauge controls


Oh ya, while everyones at bfest guess what I get to do....

Gotta be ready in less than two weeks to take her up to dynotech. Im pretty stoked on my choice of MS over a full standalone. More updates soon. Im gonna shoot for 300 wheel horse powerss. Im going to do a full how to replace a hg for the m42 guys. lots of pics. thats all for now

[JT325is]

damn i like that. keep up the good work man.. sick ass car

[Ian Bowers]

Dude. Those seats. God damn. I regret not saving a bit more and going Bride versus my Sparco R505s.

Have you looked at the OBC replacement boost gauge panels? That's what I got, but I think I may put my Wideband 02 there instead.

P.S. We need to go boost together some day, brah. It'll be brotastic.

[ISB E30]

I didn't read 13 pages, what manifold are you using?

Yea man im going to pick up a gauge vent panel I think. My wideband and boost amongst oil pressure and water will go there.

But yes. we should slide at the track or something

Its a custom made manifold constructed from a m5x turbo manifold.

You sir, are a boss!

[MR 325]

Does the hood clear the turbo?

[Dj Buttchug]

Does the hood clear the turbo?

yes, but its very close. less than an 1/8th of an inch.

[10-66kruk]

Would you be interested in some Bride Vios fixed seats??? Possibly? Straight trade? I'm dying to get a set of the adjustable seats.
Anywho the turbo set up looks legit. How does it pull?

[5spoke]

Fuck, those seats are bad ass.

[1mz]

this thread is full of win. keep it up buttchug.

[e30guydownunder]

Looking good man, you got anything to hold the head on that gasket? I ended up going with ARP's and a Cometic MLS.

[howie]
