Yep. Dead set. Giken is overkill for my current setup. I'll pull the whole thing again to do a Giken LSD and possibly clutch in the future if I add more power. All I want right now is for it to run. This week. Without spending a lot more money on it. And not keep the OEM clutch.
whew.. You planning a repaint in there or something??? I think you missed that bolt in the upper left!!! haha!!! Be a good time to vent an area to let hot engine air escape out to some vented A-Panels!!! since it is now a race car, who needs the washer reservoir....
It won't be clean for long. And will be all scratched up by this weekend. But at least the color will match the rest of the car, someday.
Aluminum foil works good too... Are you putting the plastic firewall shielding back... I wanted to leave mine out, but didnt... Maybe next time.
Sorry, I only take advice from people who know what they're talking about. :devil: That's a very good tip. I hope I remember it next time. Yeah, I'm putting all that stuff back. Let me be sloppier with the paint in that area. :cornut: Oh, and that shield keeps water out of the inside air duct...
I removed all the black plastic stuff and turned the heater intake the other way round to stop water coming, then used some of the black plastic to build a shield around the heater intake. What are those red brackets bolted to the strut towers?
The "red brackets" are the coveted cabrio strut tower braces. Standard equipment on convertibles, a bolt-on mod for hardtops. Supposedly helps stiffen up the strut towers a bit, reduce cowl shake... They start out in black... but I made them red to match my strut bar and engine mounts.
