So it drives AMAZING! Idle is perfect, motor is spotless and runs very strong. Only drawback right now is how string the clutch grabs. Still trying to get 1st and 2nd gear smooth without the car chattering haha.

Now I can start cleaning and tucking the bay. Also plan on relocating the battery.

And where did you guys get the outline to cut out the fenders for the side markers? Mine didn't come with a template like I had heard they did. The ones on my car now only required a 5/8" round hole to be cut, unlike the PWJDM ones which basically need the entire side marker shape cut.

Boost it now.

And upgrade intake manifolds so you get rid of the butterfly valve.

Thanks for the link, but none of those had an actual size template. Did you all just draw one up based on those measurements?

I took out that red wire last night, along with cleaning and armor all'ing a lot of the bay haha. The red wire was used as a hot wire to the horn for a state inspection. We have to have a working horn during the inspection when titling a car and my cars for some reason didn't work... theres a break in a wire or something somewhere. But thats all done now and the wires gone.

Swapped steering wheels a lot? SRS light on too? I'd look at your cable reel.
