Looks good, I'd do it, but I'm scared it would spring a leak in the line somewhere.
There was a bagged car brought into my friend's shop
one of the lines or the compressor leaked and the whole system deflated and left the car sitting on the floor.
It was 5 years ago tough
Anyone know if the newer system have a safatey device to prevent this form happening?

The first page has been updated with a current mod list.
AEM V2 has been ordered.
Racepak IQ3 cluster ordered
My oil cooler stuff has arrived. There isn't much information available about piecing together a kit and the Greddy kit is very expensive (~$1200) and it only comes with a 16row cooler that is also anodized blue, which I did not want. So my kit consists of:
Earl's billet thermostatic sandwich plate - allows oil to warm up before it is sent to the cooler/filter. You can get the non-thermo for like $30 if you want.
Setrab 25row oil cooler & brackets
Greddy oil filter relocation kit, which most sites say do not work with other brand sandwich plates - this is a lie to get you to buy the Greddy cooler kit. You can buy the Earl's remote filter mounts, but after getting lines and fittings it is cheaper to buy the Greddy relocation kit - and the Greddy kit looks better.
Overall savings is about $300-350 after you buy the lines for the cooler.

Thanks guys. I can't wait to finish this car and drive the hell out of her!
As far as what I do.. I own/manage my family's wholesale textile company. But you also must realize it has taken me 7 years of ownership to get to this point with the car and other than seats, I haven't done anything to it in 2 years.
Tips: the game is selling in VOLUME, don't have kids (or other liabilities) until you can properly afford them, don't get into debt, and invest whilst you're young.
