Holy crap! When I asked if you wanted to race on installs, I had no idea how fast you were really going to go!

I should finish sanding and painting my car this week and have the engine in this weekend.

I will get mine in this weekend, so I wont be too far behind you.

I noticed that you didnt pull your front bumper... did everything fit ok without pulling it? The intercooler is the only thing I can see pulling it for.

You can mount the stock sidemount with the bumper still on.. just take the inner fenderliner out and belly pans. It would be easier with the bumper off though.. thats for sure

my swap came with the cruise and charcoal canister. I reused the stock charcoal canister and I am not using cruise control at all. I have an aftermarket steering wheel and dont have the cruise stuff anyways.

my swap also came with power steering resivor and lines. I just installed the one it came with in the stock soarer location. As for the heater lines those pretty much have to be fabricated. I still need to do that
