Got a few things done today, didnt take any pics cuz they are temporary. Getting the exhaust on there fixed tomorrow so I can try to go pass emissions. Bought a universal cat to weld in for the visual inspection... so annoying.
Installed the driftmotion pulley kit, looks decent. Waiting on titan dampener to show up. Lol... this week is gonna be like christmas... have like 12 shipments showing up.

Decided to try to go thru emissions without doing the cat... they didnt even notice. Put 2 gallons of Shell 91 octane in and 3 gallons of e85. Drove for about 20 minutes on the highway and then went to emissions.
Passed on visual and on the run test. Got my plates renewed so its on for this weekend, assuming all my stuff shows up. Gonna put everything on while im waiting to find a 5 spd swap.

Yeah, ive done it for years on regular cars. It runs just fine. still get good afr's but i dont boost at all while normal driving.
I have seen a few here and there. Im not in too big of a rush on that. Itll happen when it does, for now I just wanna get all the other stuff in and sorted and thatll be the last thing.

I wanna see it done with less crazy fabbing and be a consistent performer first. I dont like to guinea pig anything on a car I daily drive, nor do I want it to be down for a month waiting on the only guy that makes the components to come thru. Ill be fine with a r154 and then if I change my mind, ill just do the easy swap of the v160. Its not that expensive compared to the time and energy spent making a nissan tranny work.

FINALLY, my stuff from Titan showed up after I called and *****ed 3 times. Ordered a few more things from Driftmotion too. Ill take a few pics of the updated pile o' parts when I consolidate it all.
Now, just waiting ion the weather to cooperate. Its supposed to be snowy and crappy here again this weekend and Im getting real sick of it.
I pretty much have everything lined up... once the semester is over, that when Ill look into the tranny and put together the r154 swap.

Yeah, the weather there is supposed to be pretty crappy after I saw this mornings weather report. Heck even Alabama is supposed to get a light percipation mixed with sleet and snow. This sucks. I hate snow.
For the time being, concentrate on your studies and get it done. I finished my Bachelors while I was building my car as well. Now since my swap is done, I have concentrated on my Master's. You will love the R154, as I do, even with the stock rear end.
