joekd Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Don't you already have the factory STB? Just wondering why you didn't decide to paint or chrome it instead of buying a BBK one. To be honest they don't do very much to improve handling, just look pretty.Scrapping the remote coolant tank idea huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Gonna look dope tony! that expansion tank will be nuts when you finally get it nice and polished out! i see you're going for the chromier than you look ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.greg Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looks great man! The alternator looks good too. Have you thought of a COP conversion to get rid of the coil packs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95opal Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Looks great man! The alternator looks good too. Have you thought of a COP conversion to get rid of the coil packs?Looks good tony and Im with ^ either relocate the current CP or do the conversion. I would also work on offing that god awful Vac tree and run everything off the intake, it will eliminate a few tons of unwanted rubber hose lol.

Tony Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 i actually unbolted the coil packs to see if i could remount them somewhere else. may do that. i seen an engine bay where a dude relocated each coil to the firewall. looked kinda cool imo. 8 plugs mounted across the firewall.

Tony Posted January 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Looking good like always tony! Have you considered an optima battery with a crome cover? Like this..i just dont know if i want a gigantic cube of chrome or polished aluminum. need to find somewhere else to mount the dam thing. it might still go in the trunk, i just need room right now to start putting a 3-5 gallon tank and a compressor. they make what's called a pancake tank that would fit in the spare tire well. i have an amp & 2 subs already. just the amp & subs pretty much wipe out all room in this fn trunk, lol.
