No one ever hears Angie complain.

Probably because she thinks it's sooo cute.



Okay!

Back to my car.

So, I found that MSR sells the Enkeis that I want, just not as expensive, and are made in the US, so I'll probably go with the black ones that have the chrome lip, when I get the dough...

Tic tac was started by Angie's girlfriend who was jealous.

No one ever hears Angie complain.

Awkward!!!!!!

So, lets see.

I got my 130mm bolts for the alternator and 110mm bolts for the two bottom middle intake manifold holes.

I broke my antenna on Woodward last night - so it appears I'll be needing a new one, I'm gonna look into possibly getting a 2005 antenna bracket cause then I shouldn't need to re-do Tim's antenna I bought, since the 07 has a weird thread size (they increased it). So, for now, I have no antenna, but I don't usually use the radio anyways...

Oh, and I used an app on my buddy's iPod touch, and ran about a 7.8 second 0-60 time with two people in the car. Slow, but it's about what I should be running...

Got my tensioner and idler.

Getting closer to having everything.

Looking good Kyle, this will be a sweet upgrade to your DD!

[MP81]

I definitely can't wait.

Okay...another update.

Got a few more parts for my supercharger swap: Alternator bracket and Windshield Washer Reservoir








I also installed my B&M Shift Plus Electronic Shift Improver Kit, as well.

[Lucky SOB]

neat!

i think windshield washer fluid reservoirs are cool

[MP81]

Yeah - this is the exact mirror of the one I currently have, since the NA engines have the intake on the opposite side as the SC cars...

Looks like it was used as a meth tank, previously...

Hows that shift module work?

Hows that shift module work?

It's got like a resistor inside it or something, changes line pressures and what not.

I can feel it shift a little harder...probably an exponential thing - will increase when I have more power...

Doesn't some company make a module with more than 2 different settings?

I don't know.

It cost me a whole $25...that's why I bought it.

Did a mini photo-shoot at the house yesterday.

Here are the originals.
























I played with the contrast and brightness on a few to what I think looks good.

[MP81]

All right - the swap is going down tomorrow, or that's how I plan it - anyone is welcome to come over during the day to help out or just hang out!

Got a few parts a week or two ago...
