Mix this post up a bit with some Outfront stuff.
John's doing some updates and upgrades while the 3.0 is in for a health check.
New bigger injectors. New fuel rails. New AEM ecu, new engine harness.
Powder coating covers in satin black. Ceramic coating headers, turbo etc black.
Water-cooling the turbo and upgrading all the fuel lines.
I'll be changing over all the hoses to black as well.
Here's some photos. Thanks John.

Looks like we can squeeze 3 of these in. So off to buy two more for the other side.
Last bits of mock up and tabbing happening.

Damn I’ve missed a lot of this thread. It’s looking good and will definitely be a “E-Ticket” ride.

If I'm going to do something it's gonna be as good as possible. This is as close to funco doing it as I could get.
Big thank you to Grant for all the support and parts.

I'll be there but the car won't. It will be close. Goal line is set for Thanksgiving.
Putting the car together isn't a problem. It will be the new wiring, new fuel system new dash new ECU then Dyno that will need to get done in a timely manner.
Working on some of the little things as that's all getting done.
