So i haven't updated this in FOREVER so im just gonnna put em all together to catch it up to present

went to a race in lubbock tx and broke my rear axle.

pulled my transfer case and driveshaft on the side of the track and kept racing FWD /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

finally got a new windshield

decided to go to a big boy grown up intercooler.

a lot thicker as well

got a new 4 bolt rear end setup

all the stuff i removed putting in the 4 bolt.

switched over to some brad penn... LOVE IT

installed my massive magnaflow to quiet this sleeper down.

made some solid mounts for my shift linkage.

made some solid mounts for my carrier bearings for the driveshaft

alternator relocation kit...

deleted the massive rear bumper, yeah gettin rid of more weight.

 

[GolfBall]

deleted teh front motor mount bar...

with a lightweigt solid motor mount versian i fabbed up.

got my new front mount mounted..

all my new mandrel 3" pipe for my boost system

new vs old. was able to straighten out some of the bends for better flow.

2.5 to 3" really makes a diff.

cut out a hole for the BOV

other side pipe... straightened out as well.

its a little ghetto i know but im not cool with blowing of boost pipes. so i made ridges to keep it all together.

more to come...

/\--- Its called rolling a bead. Nice job though. Why did you decided to use one of those bars instead of your front cross member?

IC piping route with that massive IC. The compressor outlet is only a few inches away from that front lower subframe with the compressor outlet clocked down. I have the same turbo, and was going to do the exact same thing, but then I found an IC setup on here that doesn't require all that. I just have to take a gamble with a Honda radiator! haha. we'll see. I have a large external oil cooler, I hope that helps.

Golfball, I never got you're name when you were here(Lubbock) I'm the guy that was on the little dirtbike. Oh, remember that guy with the red camaro that ran off the end of the track? He bought a truck from the same member on here that I bought my IC setup from in Ohio! haha small world. I'm close to being able to turn the key on with my galant and I'll be heading to OKC to get it tuned after I get some break in miles on it. I'm trying to hurry so I can make it to tx2k11 in Houston this year.

Ready to see more. Looking good

Like the build, I had never thought about the weight of the rear bumper beam. I might have to look into that.
youre firewall looks clean. love it.

re-did my downpipe AGAIN...

 

[GolfBall]

so figured i would give my engine bay another facelift... i still wasn't happy with it.



before

after

also lowered 2 inch's... i need a bit bigger wheel but its gettin there.

and lastly made myself a little coil on plug set up.
started with some coil packs from pull-a-part off a intrepid

mocked em up on a spare sheet of lexan i had laying around.

finished looking like this

then for fun i added a little oil cap touch.

I remember when you made your 1st post on saving the vr4. Following this thread and seeing how you build this thing up from pretty much scratch is /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jawdrop.gif Keep it up man!

 

Builds like this are pure inspiration, awesome fab work man.

 

Nice build! i like the oil cap, adds the what the hell is that effect.

 

[GolfBall]

got some new wheels and droped it.

heres what they were befor.

decided they were to plain so i figured i would try out 3m's new carbon wrap.

after pic

We went down to Tx2k11 supra/gtr nationals. it was a blast.

threw er on the dyno to see what'd it do.

 

Wow i like the wrap on the wheels. Hopefully it will hold up.

Btw what did you put down on the dyno?
