4 minute(s) of a 297 minute read

Last night I put on the driveshaft, downpipe, exhaust, coolant overflow, windshield washer fluid, boost controller lines, turbo coolant lines, moved intake manifold grounds (due to plastic TGV's), and connected the head-to-chassis grounds.

I think these are the only things I have left: TMIC, FPR, alternator bracket and alternator, hood, wheels, oil change, coolant fill and burp, and tuning. I am still waiting on the FPR and alternator bracket, but hopefully they arrive soon and I can get to work.

Update from Saturday:

Yellow Bugeye getting an oil change.

Lows in the single digits called for the heater to be turned on.

Start of the night.

Tranny fluid. Fill on the top.

Wait for it to come out the side (no dipstick on the newer 6MT's).

Notched the stock heat shield for the wastegate arm (already modified to fit the downpipe).

Notched the stock heat shield for the wastegate arm (already modified to fit the downpipe).

Hood back on, wheels back on, car on the ground, and garage finally cleaned up!

3 cars parked inside for the first time in quite a while.

All together and on the ground.

All done except fuel lines to the FPR because I bought the wrong size.

Found fuel lines in one of my boxes and put them on the next day. Mounting point worked out nicely. Used the 02-07 oil fill neck to allow for clearance.

4 bar MAP sensor.

GrimmSpeed MBC and vacuum line setup.
