ahaha jk! All I ask if you break a nail or 2 helpin me change my oil, a car wash, and hang out thats all :slight_smile: But I see, well I’m Laos.

^^ or 2!!! Man… that’s asking for a little bit too much. Haha.

Got the sales tax license! Ordering parts Monday and scheduled to start body work Wednesday. We’ll see how everything goes. Wish me luck!

So the build is official… Day one started today. Spent all day washing the bay then grinding down the block so the turbo would fit (boyfriend of course). Just about done with that part but probably going to put a second gasket on so it helps gap it up a little bit more. Its sitting really tight right now. I was told not to say anything about the build until it was all done ahem…ahem dan! but i couldn’t help it. I had to say something. I took some pictures. But I might just wait until the very end to post them all up ;). But then again a couple days from now I might now be able to help myself either.It looks so f-ing sweet right now. :inlove::inlove:

Not stupid at all. It hasn’t been relocated yet but now it will. Probably in the trunk. Maybe…

Exhaust is staying same for now but will be changing it to 3" with oval piping and changing my muffler to a black muffler.

UPDATE:

Alright! Time for updates.

DAY 1: Washed down the bay. Good old power wash at home is great! :smiley: Spent the rest of the night grinding down the block to get the turbo to fit, also ordered extra gaskets to help gap it up a little.

DAY 2 : Made mounts and mounted the front mount.

DAY 3: Drilled holes for the front mount piping. Made the hot and cold side piping. Welded on the pipes to the front mount. Made the intake piping and partially made the rest of the cold side. Shaved down the inside of the bumper a little.

That is it for now, been really busy with school and work. So the build is going by a little slower than expected. Meaning I probably won’t make the last race of the season :frowning: which is next weekend. Its okay, there is always next year. Sorry for the not top notch pics, took them all with my handy dandy phone.

forgot one pic:

3" cold pipe and 2.5" hot pipe?

Wow, everything looks good Mini! Been following this one since the start:) Bit o’ wood hood prop, FTW!!!
