yep, you heard me. I'm coming back to the 5sfte community. Doing things a little different this time around, here's what I can remember so far that I'm doing differently:
Genuine HKS BOV, the new 2007 design Got my injectors cleaned and flow tested at witchhunter. They were is poor condition before and are great now! Going with a SAFCII instead of a neo. I got it for about $75 cheaper, and it measures knock. I was gonna get a greddy emanage ultimate, but I don't have a laptop to tune it with and it just looked too complicated for me to figure out how to tune it by myself, so maybe I'll upgrade later. Got a custom stailness braided oil feed and drain line kit made specifically for my 5sfte. I just gotta weld a fitting onto my oil pan but I'm having a hard time finding someone willing to do it. I'm fixing my radiator fan which was broken before. the motor fell out of the blade cause it was hooked up wrong I'm using a regular sized radiator instead of the koyo, for a little more engine bay room I'm relocating the battery to the trunk and I'm cutting my IC piping down a lot for a cleaner install, might even paint them like LewFX that's all I can think of right now, pictures to come. hope to be running by the end of the week  after 6 months of down time!--------------------  94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |

IMO it works better than engine degreaser. update! last night I got an intake set-up put together, and then I hooked a battery up to my car. with my fingers crossed, I hooked it up and just hoped for the best. nothing! no burning, no smoking, nothing went wrong! I got in, turned the key to the ON position, and my radio works, my headlights work, everything appears to work!!! this is great news as it means I didn't fry every electrical component on my car! the car is only days away now. I got my new oil drain line today, I just have to put that on, wire up the SAFC II and my gauges, and fill it with some fluids and it'll be ready to start! -------------------- 94 GT - Sold -------- 69 Pontiac Lemans - Sold 88 Alltrac - Sold ---- 04 WRX - Sold 00 GT-S - Sold ------ 91 Miata - project/drift car 95 GT - Sold -------- 96 GT - New Daily Drive |
