woooo! made some progress this weekend. Ive been powder coating and painting parts left and right, and slow but sure installing things into the car. I got the brake booster back in and the new lines made, and my FPR mounted with hoses run to it. I still want to redor one of the hoses because it was too short, but Ill deal with that later. 

here are some pics so far:

this morning...

tonight...

doesnt look like I got much done, but it was a lot of work. I also got the head installed into the 2.0 block. that was a pain because the arp head studs require a half inch 12 point deep socket for a 3/8" drive. I didnt have any 12 pointers that size so I had to drive back and forth to the school twice for one.

no pics of the motor just yet, but Ill try asnd take more tomorrow. 

I also started running the AC lined back in, and then I broke the sensor fitting off the short piece of pipe that goes between the dryer and the condenser.  - does anyone happen to have one of these kicking aorund?

hah! when I am done with this, I will probably never want to look at another rocco.  

especially considering how much money I have sunk into it. In fact, I just dropped another 240 on it. I got a flexalite dual low pro fan (#365) and a 25 psi coolant bottle cap among some other things. hope that stuff will get here quick..

I Still need an intake tube and filter.... I might just modify the GTI tube I have and get a K&N filter for it, but I dont know... 

it has been suggested that I use a honda intake kit like this:

....but I dont like the hose sticking out of the top over the timing belt. why cant they just make something exactly how I want it?
