awesome build...thanks for the updates!

also a little off-topic, how did you modify the fuel lid to become flush with the widebody rear fender? Can you post a pic of it? thanks...

The FEED widebody comes with a widening attachment that glues to the top of the fuel door

will take a pic for you

got the headlight finally...the only lamp i found that i really like and still gives me enough room on the inside of the headlight bucket to run my ducting to the turbos she looks so mean!!

[curacaosfinest]

well what can go wrong did go wrong...

Lost the compression on the rear rotor, dropped all the way down to 40 psi

its so weird, the motor was running really strong and well everytime i started it up and let it idle at my house...then the first time we start it up at the tuners shop, no compression on the rear rotor...

nothing changed at all from when we had it at my house, to when we got there...so strange

heres some pics of the drive up there and a video of what she sounded like when we were there

Hey guys i've been on a bit of a hiatus as the school year started again.

but i do have an update finally!!

So i did a steam clean thanks to some help from mannykiller...and it did the trick!!

the seals loosened up and now i'm going to do the ATF trick to loosen any dirt, and then another steam clean for good measure...but she sounds much much better now!!

Roxy's Back!!!
