Well, I am only 20. :shrug:
And why can’t I have a pretty girlfriend? Cause everyone thinks I’m a big dickhead or something?
EDIT: Haha, yeah, I need to take a better picture than that one. I like the one where she is holding the drink when we were in London.

Sorry, just had to say that.
By the way, how hard was it to get the radio in the compartment, i was thinking of putting a DVD player flipup LCD in there . [/B]
LOL, you mean Ted Danson dude, Tony Danza was from “Who’s the Boss.”
Moving the radio was about 17 times easier than I thought it would be, you just put it in there and make a hole in the back of the box for the harness to fit through. Later I just ended up cutting a square out that was about the size of the whole unit, and it worked out better that way. The only thing you need to do is extend the antenna cable, but you can go to Radio Shack or Checkers and get an extension for pretty cheap. You can also ask haberdasher about it since he was the one I stole the idea from in the first place.
It’s really easy to do. Just take your time so you don’t do something that you’ll regret later, although, it’s not like it’d really be all that hard to get a new glove box or anything. The hardest part was the little brackets, and they only seemed hard because I kept procrastinating on them. Once I started trying to work it out, it was easy.
Here is how my oil lines are attatched to the fire wall. I have some padding there, so it’s hard to see, but towards the right is the brass T fitting with a plug on the bottom. Now, when I install the turbo, all I have to do is attach the feedline. To the left is a right angle fitting.
Here is where the line goes through the fire wall. I just drilled a hole through that gasket and went through there. It worked out really well.
Here are the DSM 450’s. As you can see the factory clips fit perfectly on there, so you can’t tell unless you know to look for the blue.
Here is the general engine shot again. Like I said before, the car came with that ghetto CAI, then I cut it into a short ram after I sucked some water up on the highway. Anyway, you can see that the powersteering is gone. I removed all the hard lines and the rack as well. I put a manual rack in from a CRX. You can see where I attached the battery relocation cable to the stock location. It looks more ghetto than it is. though. I just clamped the two ends on to each other and wraped them with electrical tape. I guess what you do is run the big cable to the starter than a smaller one up to that black box on the shock tower, and that cleans it up for you. Let me know if you have any questions.
The next pictures will be of the mods I did under my bumper to fit my intercooler. Basically what I did was weld an “L” bracket onto my bumper support, then bolted it to the hood latch mechanism. Then I cut off that metal brace that goes down to the front of the radiator supoort. This allows me to go as deep as I want and still keep the hood latch from moving around.
i rarely say this, but i’d pick ur girl over the car anyday. shit i wouldnt even pick my girl over my car. lol. u ever heard of cleaning ur interior? its almost as bad as mine. ur girl is hot tho, props to an asshole getting a hot girl. that battery box isnt legal in any track competition i know of tho. and whats that line goin thru ur firewall, nitrous? if u want to make under ur hood look a lil cleaner u should buy a ground distibution block like you use to ground out multiple amps for a system and put it under the hood so u dont have electrical tape. i got mine but i still need to take the fuse i had there out and put the block in. also y dont u move the gauge u mounted on ur dash down in the din pod thing u made? o yea also how old is ur girl? lol peace.
Did any of you guys even read what I posted at all?
That line is my oil line, it says right there on the picture.
I already said how to clean up the battery thing. It’s also right there above the picture.
Turbogeek: What are you talking about on the intake/nitrous thing. Also, the intake isn’t wrapped with anything, that’s just what color it is.
Lastly, the box is legal, just not in this type of car, or the way I have it mounted. I’m taking care of that later, I just needed to get it into the trunk.
It’s not too bad. I had people helping me because no matter how many times I do it, I still don’t learn how to take off the suspension. It took us seven hours, but only because we did it on jack stands and had the wrong rack and had to go to the junk yard and find one.
