So, i put my kartboy shifter bushings in... BIG difference, love them, well worth the money.
Exhaust hangers, got 3 of the 4 hangers in, the stock hanger location isnt anywhere near the muffler, about 8 inches away, looks like another "hanger" was rigged to the frame. going to get my buddy to move the stock hanger and weld it above the muffler this weekend (hopefully) - already notice less "wiggle" in the exhaust. Got my boost gauge, will not fit where i wanted it... thinking i might just remove my ash tray and mount it there, angle upward... - just gotta order tubing! totally forgot about that. oh, and i got my cf trunk piece, gonna put it on tonight (after I wash my car) - and motor mounts should be here soon!

my boost gauge just showed up also...it's SO cheesy looking but I bet it's REAL accurate so you'll be able to measure just how each mod affects your boost.

Jackelope

w00t! now just gotta decide where to put it, and buy a tub'n kit

Roddimus Prime

tubing kit is available at any autoparts store for like $3-5. I dont plan on using this one but it was SUCH a good buy i couldn't pass it up. Maybe it'll go in the SHO....:wink:

Jackelope

oh no... another project! HAHA.

Front motor mount is on! - back motor mount is ... yah.. haha - that things gonna be a job...
- and i got a tubing kit ($5) - and some of those "T" things, think i'm still miss'n something though.. how to connect the "tubing" to the "vacuum hose... hmm.. oh well, i'll figure it out.

Jackelope

Blah, seems i'm missing a piece... what needs to go in the "gap" (attached picture)

i got several fittings, but nothing to go to the vacuum hoses...

gauge end is no problem, got it

other end... got 1/8" "adapter", after putting all pieces together i get a "threaded pipe" look'n thing..

Jackelope

w00t - everything is on except rear motor mount, and 1 exhaust hanger

well, this last week or 3, my wife's front left tire keeps losing air (cant figure out why!), so i did the only logical thing, swapped to the 17" wheels/tires. - IMO it looks great with these wheels (wife thinks they are too shiny)... i know... pictures... i'll try to get some this weekend of both cars, maybe even take a picture of the front of my msp where i got mad at the splitter and broke most of it off

barry, i just used a section of hose that is slightly larger to slip over both ends. works good and doesn't leak.

Jackelope

did i miss something? i'm guessing you are talking about the boost hose? i was talking about a tire leaking

Roddimus Prime

i guess you missed something.....

Jackelope

haha, oh yah! the *leak* messed me up... yah, i went to the auto parts place, looked through the parts myself behind the counter - found a good combination - looks nice..
