WORK! ok, today was my day off... plan was to work on this beast all day...
first up was the motor mount bracket. it was scaring me. it was close to the timing belt. and when you pushed on the belt it would go about the tooth depth in. so with a little belt slap...eeeeh.

looks like i forgot the before pic... but i cut in about 5-6mm or so i think. as you can see, i have clearance now.

details... small things. but shit, i noticed that some of the smallest bother me, and stack up quick. this was brand new, so it made it easier to paint than after its oil soaked.

i was kinda worried about the downpipe. needs to clear the stock front mount. oh yeah, swapped in an unmodified crossmember. i bought a bunch of materials from CRMB (Columbia River Mandrel Bending). but i kinda liked the look of the ITR downpipe i had sitting there. it was 180* the wrong way in every way. i cut that fucker up pretty good. and made what i think is a pretty decent downpipe.

my hot pipe. lol. this turned out little better than i was thinking it was going to. shit i should have took a pic of it installed. ill do it later. it has opened up my imagination for something else too...
thats a stock GVR4 elbow cut and rotated, whore to weld to btw, to a 2" sch40? weld el lol, and to a hacked up leftover piece of CRX/ITR chargepipe. then goes to a rubber 2.5" 90* Mishimoto coupler on the intercooler.

my power distribution block. i mounted this a while back. i need to figure out my starter cable. i cut it up when mounting this, then realized i should have done it another way lol.
