EssFo Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 This reminds me of the Terminator days. Add horsepower, deal with wheelhop. Fix is swap in a LRA. :gabe: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Groove Automation high volume clutch line came in today http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/6C99209A-BBCD-48B0-9585-40F7154B8162_zpstcizie68.jpg Passenger side header installed today, motor mount and starter put back in, and we started taking the driver side header out. Should have it completed tomorrow. I may put the car back together to take it to get aligned. Since the procharger may not get here till next week. I'm doing all the fluids right now as well, everything drained, just have to fill it back up before we are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 I got the OK from the wife to mid the car, so I'm taking advantage of it. She is pretty damn awesome, never complains about my toys, or spending money on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Clutch line installed today, and ran the line for the boost gauge. Long tubes almost finished up. Just have to pu the rest of the exhaust on,and button a few things up. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/834B795B-6D10-456B-AFE3-AD589B0FAFA9_zpstbu9ztb8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 My valve cover breathers and t-bolt clamps came in, and I decided to order a Steeda shifter base bracket/bushing. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/582F84F7-BAB8-45EF-846F-D7075F080205_zpsmp0cben8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 thursday night i filled all the fluids finally, reinstalled y trim piece on the dash with the boost gauge, ran the electrical wires for it, connected the boost line, reinstalled all the other parts i removed in the engine bay, and friday before work me and my buddy finished up the exhaust and put it back on the ground. Monday i i have an appointment with Derek to get the car aligned. Seeing that my Procharger hasn't showed up yet, i figure i have time to go get the alignment out of the way. after monday, the car will start to come apart again, and ill start on installing the new plugs, injectors, boost-a-pump, and pull the bumper off to get ready for the Procharger install. I may end up doing a DIY grille delete while I'm at it. now the sweet sweet sound of those long tubes. sounds a lot better in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Got the alignment done yesterday. Derek and the guys at Best One did a great job. Before here is what it looked like http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/CD92081A-6B0D-4670-B74F-2F3655DFEDA0_zpseilz4ien.jpg And after, only got a pic after the rear was done. http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g425/hobglide/56898FF1-5F81-4D25-9718-2D20A38D6D3A_zpshpoweue8.jpg Also, good news! Procharger will be here Wednesday! As will my Steeda shifter base bushing. So Wednesday the car goes back in the garage for tear down. I'll start getting things ready for the install this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceGhost Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 So what's the plan when the clutch and trans go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I'll be installing a spec stage 3 clutch over the winter. The trans should hold together at the power level I'll be at, but if not I've already been researching and pricing out the Tremec Magnum XL trans swap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
