RE: REASSEMBLY>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - drunkinmonkey - 05-14-2013
haha me either man. sounded so good to hear crank over let alone start lol
RE: REASSEMBLY>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - drunkinmonkey - 05-14-2013
well last night was a semi succesful night haha. got everything hooked up and ready to go..cranked it ov er and it fired first turn of the key!! loud as hell with just the downpipe haha. but it was short lived after the power steering pump started pissing power steering fluid all over the car.
turns out we forgot to install the power sterring sensor haha . ooops.
RE: REASSEMBLY>>>>my OFFICIAL build thread - drunkinmonkey - 05-16-2013
went yesterday and finished up the car and buttoned everything up. fired the car up and it ran like a dream, no leaks, no fires, nothing. sounds pretty awesome though with just the downpipe on..the turbo whistle is so loud!! i wish i chould get that sound with a full exhaust
. car heads back to the paint booth to finish off the paint process of lining everything up and fitting all the panels together, aswell as a cut and polish/wax
