Yes I added a drivers side DM mount. I think the rear diff mount is shot too (which I need to replace soon) which I'm sure will help drivetrain movement and all that too..
I have only driven the car about 50 miles so things are extremely fresh at this point. I might end up trying to get the...
Figured I would give a quick post about the first thoughts of my Clutch Masters CM725 Twin Disc Street series.
It is obviously twin disc and has 2 different materials of friction discs but not exactly sure what they're made of. As far as quality it was extremely high quality from what I seen...
So apparently adjusting the MS6 clutch engagement point is stupid easy and amazing! Lol I adjusted it to catch further out and it is in the middle again where it used to be. Such a great thing to have or my experience with this clutch could've gone wayy different! Car is running but seems to...
Got it all bled enough to give it a test drive last night and dang lol The clutch is all at the last inch of the pedal off the floor right now. Hoping I can adjust the pedal for that a good bit as I'm used to it being in the middle more.
Needless to say the test drive went good and it is up...
******** UPDAAATTEEE *******
Oh yess your assumptions are correct... She is alive!!!!!! lol
Got it to build fuel pressure through wot gas pedal and cranking it over for 5 seconds or so about 3 times. Then proceeded to fire it up.

You can...
First off, I'm jealous how clean your motor is lol Anyway though, secondly, did you double check all the tdc stuff after final tq? I didn't read or missed it on whether you did that. Glad it is coming together for you man! :D
So I have opted for more pie cuts and less couplers lol Hopefully that much welding doesn't bite me somehow but boost leaks should be much less of a problem hopefully!
I test fit the bumper over the intercooler and lets just say it is still sticking out the bottom a bit lol I don't want to cut...
Time to try my hand at aluminum apparently lol Water-cooled tig welder be putting in some work lol
Played with some settings to get what I liked so tomorrow I will pick up some rod and have a hand at some joints and fit everything up.
After a late night and a bit of work.... The front clip is on and I am getting an idea on how I want my ic piping and fmic. She is looking sexy! Going to buff out my headlights once everything is together as well.
Despite my lack of patience and ability somewhat, I got the job done with my new downpipe. Didn't bother cleaning up the welds so it is as raw as she gets.
In my defense I ran out of stainless rod and actually used 1/8" cut pieces of the stainless pipe as my filler which I felt was a decent...
I would definitely have ordered upgraded axles if possible but apparently my 4-5k wasn't enough to get "everything" I wanted lol
I will definitely keep bothering them about it as I don't like being ripped off $100.
How would I go about doing that? I am currently waiting on an email back about it. Basically said that it was attempted to be installed so they wouldn't take back.
I emailed and told them I didn't mean to select that and it is uninstalled and new in original box
An off brand "premium" axle from Rockauto.
FVP was the brand. I am emailing them now about how Rockauto is selling it saying it fits but it doesn't and won't exchange it.
Ok guys so I know it probably seems like the car should be running by now but going top mount makes things... interesting lol
Anyway, I finally got my ewg dump pipe all welded out sporting some pie cuts!
(Keep in mind this is my very first thing ever welded on a tig lol)
Was a squeeze...
Sorry to hear it man, but I'll be praying for her recovery. Glad the car is working for you though. I will be looking forward to hearing that your mom is doing better!
I'm trying to persevere despite several set backs lol There's always a few wrenches in something like this and I found the first. My power steering pump needs a spacer to clear my intake manifold now due to the DM pi adapter.
I hooked up the plasma and cut away and fabricated a piece to space...
Pretty late night for me and the speed but she's got her heart back! I am still getting things hooked up and will be welding and fabricating the downpipe and screamer pipe.
Then the front clip will go on and the ic piping will get fit up and welded as well.
I can't wait to get this thing...
Getting very close for sure! I have a couple new plugs (alternator plug and vvt solenoid plug) to wire up. Then, just need the material for the downpipe to extend it and fill the fluids and get this baby dropped in!
I custom made my intake and it was obviously not intended for a top mount setup...
