first off, i re did the outter heim on the tie rods because when the car was off the ground they would interfere with the strut arm itself.
hole in the inner fender for the intercooler pipe, both pipes are one piece with Vibrant VAN-Jen clamps on all connections, more pics on those below.
Vibrant Van-Jen clamps, kinda like a vband, kinda like a wiggins i guess from the pictures that ive seen of them, kinda like pretty fiddle sticking cool and surprisingly easy to work with.
you first weld the two ends to whatever it is youre connecting...
then this sleeve goes over both ends
the clamp goes over the sleeve
you latch that bastid down and....VIOLA!!
they will allow for 12 degrees of misalignment, but all the connections i have are straight balls on with maybe 2 degrees max of misalignment, hopefully they keep everything together
my new Turbosmart race port blow off valve
close up of the power steering hose setup
Accessory bracket setup with the manual tensioned alternator
the exhaust manifold
the 'downpipe', if you can even call it that.
and onto my FAVORITE part of the engine bay that a few of my good friends despise, but i adore.
neon pink.
