This is not my first turbo car and actually the IROC has always been turboed since I've had it. Had a remote mount kit which I finally decided was like pissing in the ocean to try and raise the tide. So I decided to do this epic build and make an ultimate mullet ride. LOL. But yea I've had a few other turbo cars before like my Lexus, WRX, Conquest. I would prob have to say I would not do another complete car build in such a short time like I have done with this. I LOVE BOOST for the record. Its like a peanut butter and crack samich!

Stephen do you have a cutoff wheel? I need to grind/cut the studs on my center tunnel that used to hold the console in place.

I'm going to try my dremmel w/ my good metal cutting wheel and see if it works.... if it can't handle it I'll give you a ring.

Plus: Fuel lines are in!

Minus: The oil return bung sits in the middle of k member the 90 degree elbow -10 AN fitting cant clear cause the k member sweeps up to much. Ugh how the fuck am i going to clear this... i guess its dremel time with a grindind wheel.

Plus: Flaming River Steering shaft is in and looks super mega awesome.

Minus: Driver side header is prob going to get mor bashed in and more than likely back runner will have to be rewelded in some sorta fashion so it doesnt come out as much.

Minus Minus: Any LS guys know if there is a way to move the power steering bracket (or an aftermarket one) i need it moved towards the center of the motor maybe an inch. More would be awesome but an inch would prob give me enough room an eliviate some of my other problems.

Damn this car to hell.....

Thanks
