Once the car is built, the only thing that needs attention is brakes .. otherwise .. she's going to be fast and hopefully reliable
I'll miss it for sure, much more comfortable.
I approve of YOU.
Thanks Todd

I can't give you a definite date, but I would imagine the car will be back together before mid November at the earliest. I felt I've planned for this well as far as parts, research, etc, but you can't ever be 100% prepared .. there's always going to be something broken that you didn't notice before lol.
Once it's buttoned up, definitely need to drive it for 250-500 miles to give it a good burn-in before I contact my tuner and throw another 10 PSI at it.
I'm worried about the rear main seal install the most - if you get it wrong, motor needs to come out again .. and it's a lot more common than you think

Oh and - welcome the newest member of the family. A friend of mine was cleaning out his garage and was giving this away for free
Talk about a come up.
Every drawer works / slides and it comes pre-labeled - couldn't pass that up
Best part? My old mini Craftsman toolbox drawers fit perfectly inside of these drawers ... satisfying AF.

With my current OEM ignition system & stock rods, hopefully over 400whp and a bit more torque.
Here's a similar setup - I don't plan on pushing 23-24 psi, maybe around 21psi to increase longevity of everything.
Dat torque

Boost is addicting for sure - I've always wanted to dive into a 1JZ / 2JZ build to satisfy my tuner car itch - more power AND better reliability? Sign me up!
My wife would leave me if I mentioned a second project

Day 2 of the tear down, I had a few friends come over and helped till around 9pm last night. All in all, really fun .. lots of bullshitting but otherwise we got a lot done.
Drained the radiator / powersteering fluid
Removed the front clip
Removed intercoolers / hoses
Removed both axles
Removed alternator
Disconnected the grounds, harness is now completely clear from the chassis
Organized chaos
Only things left to do:
Remove fan on the front of the engine
Remove Driveshaft heatshield & Remove driveshaft bolts
Disconnect transmission & motormounts
We're getting close, right on target to have it out by Saturday
