I have to wait for the install, I don't think my wheels will clear the brakes. I'm not looking into running spacers either. So they might have to wait till I get the permanent wheels.

IL be going with sve track setup, 17" skinnies in the fronts and wide 15" rears. I'm gloss black. IL be building this car right! Can't wait til I swap in the gte.


I went with blanks just like you did. Got them from Autozone for like $65 each (Brembo Blanks). Had to paint them since they didn't come with the coating like yours. Mine look just like yours now though.
I plan on having an install day on Friday evening:
LS400 Brakes and M2 Axle back exhaust!

Replaced the power steering fluid using the remove, refill, cycle, repeat method.

I used a 100ml syringe to pull the dirty fluid out of the reservoir, dumped that fluid into a old 2L water bottle.
Filled the syringe with new dexron atf fluid and put it into the reservoir.
Replaced the cap, then turned the car on, twisted the wheel R to L (end stop to end stop) three times per side.

Repeated the process until until the fluid I removed from the reservoir was light red like the new stuff (4 times).
No more squealing when idling

I haven't seen you post pictures in a while. Your car is still as clean as ever.

As you can see, they were definitely needed. Now I need an alignment.

I do like the craftsmanship of the manifold myself, looks like itbs inside of it!!
Rock on!!

Clears brake master cyl just fine!

Huh. Mine wouldn't clear the factory oil cooler/warmer. Had too many hoses running underneath along wth the harness. With the oil filter relocated down, it clears beautifully.

pierced 4 holes in the firewall to install the clutch pedal assembly and clutch master cylinder. 3 were for the clutch master cylinder and 1 for the lower mounting point, which only required a nut, bolt and washer. installed the manual brake pedal too

what part of it hits the oil cooler? Is it aftermarket oil cooler? I got huge space between them
