Battery relocation Done

And this is the fused junction block that I got for the cables up front

I'm running out of adjectives to describe how awesome I think this project is, man.

too lazy to finish up the gauge pod that we we're making so I mounted just the oil pressure gauge for now so I can keep an eye on things.

Ok Cool...

I bet you will love to drive her. I mean you only have been waiting for 2-3 months? Probably even more. I remember waiting 3 days when i did my clutch, and i finally put the tranny on but lost the top mounting bolt...boy was i mad.

[Sporno]

looks really tight ,good job

[speedpenguin]

I'm waiting for pics!

You better give us one hell of a photoshoot.

[Pico]

The car runs great I just got back from taking her on a short test run. I'm gonna have fun driving her now especially after I break in the engine and trans. I still have to adjust the clutch a little bit more and get used to driving a stick, but it's all good.
One thing I noticed since I went to a smaller diameter on my CAI it seems alot louder. My CAI before was 3in the new one is 2.5in do you think thats why the sound difference or is it just me since I havent driven the 3G in 3months.
Oh well I will try to get some video's and pictures up this weekend after I do a little more fine tuning

[russiankid]

I didn't need to adjust my clutch after i replaced it. Only thing that changed was that it went from grabbing 1/8th out to 1/4th way out. The free play didn't change. Anyways what clutch did you put in?
