I am even thinking of going back to power steering again.
How small is your wheel? I have a manual rack and factory 380mm steering wheel - really easy to drive even at low speeds. Nothing wrong with PS though lol


Wuss.

Do you have a true manual rack or a capped power rack?

It's really easy to do... would take 30 min tops if you're a boss.

I need to drive it a little more before i decide to do anything.

I have a true manual with a 280 mm wheel. We'll see how it goes.

Ait some small updates:

Got a bung welded on the right valve cover.











Finished the intake. I got this pretty tight I don't care what anybody says. Note the vacuum fitting welded on the side. Hopefully it will fix the smoking.











Also got the BOV installed and hooked up all the vacuum lines.



Took the filter off the Moroso can and put a cap on it.









This car is like a lego game. Make stuff up and add it on.

OK well shit - I made a GPS bracket and I fucking hate it. But then again it was my first one - long way from number 4 or 5.

However I did make my 4th switch bracket. This one is closer to the steering wheel, so it protrudes more from the dash - to give the cockpit more dimension. I like it much better.  It's also more round - less dimples, and some side supports. It's going to be powder coated orange.

I am making a new GPS bracket.

Oh yea gots me some new gauges. They light up orange  :yay:
