Yeah they needed to shut the outlet on the bottom of the radiator and put it at the top as well. That's cutting corners doing it the way they did it and I'm surprised, Defined usually is on top of things.

I got quoted $240 for the undertray. $80 in material and $160 for cutting. He said he can cut the under tray in like 5 minutes but the minimum is $160 Hr. All I have to pay is material up to an hour.

Highly recommend this little tranny jack. Harbor Freight $70 bucks so worth it.

I'll be installing a PFS Girdle along with a Banzai Brace. Some people say It can't be done but will see :D

Yep, that tranny jack is the ish. Makes installing the tranny so much easier than trying to lift and slide it in by yourself LOL.

Oh yeah, I was cleaning the garage last night and realized I still have your flywheel stopper (long piece of angle iron) lol.

I was looking for it the other day lol.

PFS Girdle Installed along with the Banzai Diff Brace, some people @ 7club were saying that It couldn't be done lol. Well it just requires a simple modification.

You can see where I cut the Girdle

Took the FD for a cruise with the new gears and wow I have a 5th gear that's worth a damn. Car felt more eager begin for more gas. I'm very happy with the upgrade and is worth the trouble.

I was actually data logging and tuning as I went. Gor the cruising AFR's where I wanted. Tried to go into boost but I was going lean, I need to start the transition a little bit sooner. Right now the primaries are going as far as 6 psi.

It averaged 11 MPG Horrible yes but AFR's where kind of rich around 13's. Also not using decel fuel cut.

Update is been a long time well that Diff above is long gone. Cracked the case even though i was using all them braces. Turbo2 LSD didnt even knew what happened.

Here is my car finally got it working fine after month of troubleshooting, found out after going Direct Fire ignition I had the spark plug wires on the wrong location LOL. What a noob. Dno it at 463whp@18psi E85

http://youtu.be/LEDHkQ49Gl4

This thing is hauling ###. this pass was at 18-19psi

I think its got a low 11 or even a High 10 second pass with a little bit more boost.

Currently under the knife for a 8.8 Diff upgrade and fuel system upgrade.

That's awesome man! Did you run stainless braided lines all the way to the front? Or did you do a hard line? Also, do you have trouble starting the car on E85? I've heard it can be difficult to start.

What tire were you running that you broke your diff? Also, what rpm did you launch at?
