OK so I took 2 weeks off work to get to work on the car. Well it was not as productive as I liked but I did make
some progress. Unfortunatley the motor has not yet been started up. The dash setup is only temp at
this time. After the car is running, & any drive line bugs are worked out, I will begine construction of the
new dash. Well on to the pics...click on pics to enlarge in a new window

Weak Stock Plastic Ratcheting Clutch Quadrant

Notice the new clutch cable already installed awaiting the Billet Quadrant
Old v/s New
New Billet Aluminum Quadrant is stiffer & more reliable than the plastic stock unit
The pics of the engine bay are obviously of work in progress. Most wiring will be concealed & out of site after
intial tuning is complete. At this point I am awaiting 72lb injectors, 3Bar MAP sensor, & then the intake with GM
sensors. A Porsche 944 Intercooler will fit snuggly in front of the radiator & A/C to access all available
cool air from the front air dam. Once all parts arrive I will plan another trip to work on the awakening. Precaution
will also be taken by building a custom header bag protecting vital areas from the immense heat that will be radiated from
the turbo & header. Once initial tuning is complete the car will be brought to Chastain Engines to be placed on
their Chassis Dyno. Results will be posted at that time....
At Home in the Bay...
Ahh yes it sleeps now but once all parts are recieved it will awaken
