I thought the catch can was supposed to be catching oil from entering the IM?? Why is yours located near the pulleys? I'm confuzzled.

As for the car. VERY SLEEPERISH. Me likey, Interior looks really nice as well, not overdone, I love that steering wheel too.

We really need to find a place that'll do am Airram compatible (sp??) strut tower bar. That would really set off that engine bay.

It could use a cleaning. wink1.gif

You are partially correct. I catches oil from entering your TB more than your IM. The reason it is over there (I havent gotten the hoses yet) is because with the Turbo setup being installed in the next month or so I will not have room over there for the ctach can with the FMIC piping and the air filter. So the only other logical place to put it was were I had the most empty room. And that was really the only place. Yeah sleaperish was my goal. Thats the main reason I have not gotten rims or anything. Also when I do the gauges, boost controller, turbo timer, the whole 9 yards for the most part they will not grab your attention to make you think it has a little more pep.

Bad lol. I think my best was a 16.3. But I did find that my spark plug porclain was cracked on piston 1. Anyway, I honestly hate how much people like 1/4 times. The 1/4 mile takes no skill at all from the driver. It is 99% car. I prefer Solo events (on the road autocrossing). They are just as demanding on the car as on the driver. I think they say alot more about a person and their car then any 1/4 mile times. But now that I am done that rant....... Once I get the turbo installed I am going to get it dyno tuned and get some WHP numbers for my babie smile.gif

- Edit -

The stearing wheel was easy to install. The only real problem is that I lost the horn and the auto off blinkers..... No big problem it looks good enough to make up for it. Yeah those boots are from Redz. CF black and CF red. They look really sweet and were not very hard to install. I didnt paint the license plate lol. I just masked it in paintshop so my license plate number wasnt all over the place.

I agree with you about the 1/4 mile times... none of my cars have ever been to the strip and will probably ever be there... I know there is probably quite a bit of skill involved in getting the fastest times you can.. but it is just not my thing. Like I said, my car is a highway and backroads burner.. cornering and braking first... power second.

Why'd you run 16.3 then? tongue.gif Just playin LOL, seemed oxymoronish. I would hide the boost controller and timer in the glovebox... my GSX has its Air/Fuel, turbo timer, and boost controller in there... very sleeperish.
