Picked up my car from Calvo Motorsports this past Tuesday. Couldn't be more happier with the work performed as car runs flawlessly. We had to shut it down at 16 pounds because the crappy boost logic NA tranny I have started slipping at anything over 500. Next new purchase will be a stage III ATF in the next few months. Car got poured on way home so it needs a good bath before I post pics. Needless to say I am very happy with how it all turned out.

Got the car all cleaned up this weekend. Started with the motor. Right now I have intake pipe off polishing. Fixing to polish all the intercooler piping off the car. You should be able to see new polished 6766, new fuel rail and 1300 injectors, new powder coated valve covers with new lines for catch can, fuel pressure regulator and some other goodies. I don't know if you will find a much cleaner engine bay on a NA-T car.

Gerb,

Key is to leave the bottom engine cover in place. I had my off for a while and my motor would get pretty dirty. Replaced the cover and it stays pretty damn clean. My car gets driven now. I got tired of it being in my warehouse all the time.

dang ... hahaha, I guess that will be true. But my daily driver is driven now in whatever weather condition so need to find ways keeping the undercarriage clean.

yeah Shane , I need to get those cover back in place . Not one of my SCs have it right now . I guess need to get some done with a metal plate cause the old plastic ones are getting ripped apart due to old age and modifications like IC pipings ..

Shane is right about the undercarriage cover. it is kinda of a pita to work around it and or removing to turn wrenches etc. But if that is what it takes to keep the bay clean, then hey.....

I remember thinking about a metal plate too but do you think there would be a lot of noise from random rocks or gravel hitting it all the time? Maybe I'm thinking into it too much.

Shane, what turbo manifold do you have on there? Looks as if that 67mm sits pretty well down there without being close to the dizzy. I do the notice the intercooler piping on intake side that kinda rests on the blanket. Im kinda trying to decide with what manifold to go with for my na t build


Thanks,
Oniel
