MilSpecWiring.com had a black friday sale so I scooped up a bunch of DR25 heat shrink tubing and transitions.





I'm almost finished grinding all the welds smooth in the engine bay but I didn't take a photo yet.

Progress has been slow. Started the shaving process on the 2.5i long runner intake. It pains me to part with my Fastech but it’s hot in TN and I need a dang air conditioner.

Subscribing! Definitely would like to see what you do and how you do it on this one. Know you've been following bits of mine as well.

With 295's are you going flare route or wide body route?

Big plenum, long runner intake manifold shaved and polished externally; ported and polished internally.

I still have to modify the t-body flange to accept my RMR 90mm t-body.

After that, it’s getting a 3-stage powder coat.

Also, I had my new Advan RGIIIs ceramic coated. Once the ceramic coat is fully cured I’ll mount the tires.
