Default Ok, now I have pictures!


A recent one of the car!


I've had the AF guage for a long time, now it's finally being put to good use.

Temporary location of the boost guage...

Busy engine bay....

Notice the cracked crank pulley, the ghetto down pipe, and all the other home made goodies! :fawk:

And the strut bar I made a while back that actually did some good. I love it!

Comments welcome, and yes, I did complete a turbo that is running safely at 7lbs of boost, and I did it for under 450 bucks...

Thanks man! Nice to know someone else appreciates all the hard work I've done. Couldn't have done it without a couple of my friends that kick ass!

You know I like it! To turbo my D16 is my ultimate plan... but seeing as its pushing 90K miles, I'm not as sure as I was 15K ago. We'll see...

Very nice, though!

Damn dude that rear strut bar looks sturdy as hell! Nice work with the turbo...I wish my Sol was boosted.

BTW, I didn't know the Si hatch came with steelies and wheel covers...did you put those on?

Zivicase is right, it did fly before the turbo. The 10lb flywheel and act clutch helped a ton.

My block has about 160K on it, and I'm just waiting for it to blow so I can throw in another block I will soon be building. PLus the car is going into storage as soon as the snow flies..... Maybe another week.
