I know, its nasty under there. What would you recomend i use. Just a pressure washer or some sort of cleaner. I want to powdercoat everything but unless i could do it myself for the cost of the suplies it would be too expensive

DO NOT SPRAY DEGREASER ON ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

Other than that, spray away and then hose that bitch down.

you could've saved another 30lbs by putting in a PC680 battery too :wink:

nice to see the straight intake w/Apex-i filter installed.
we have one of those waiting to go on also.
only 1 question...is the AFM in sideways?
i've read that it can mess things up if it's not flat :shrug:

thats the plan :)

shaun also makes the point i was thinking about with the battery. If i want to, ill get a smaller one for racing only. Plus my hookup got me the battery for $100 flat. And i can sell my other one since it was new.

As for the afm being sideways its the only way itll fit and according to dustin itll be fine

i didn't even think of that...sorry :oops:

it gets cold here in the winter, but i guess not cold enough to make a PC680 poop out since the MR2's has lasted thru many winters :)

im sorry but i chuckled at this. Look at the picture of my car buried in my gallery and you can little idea about how bad it gets here sometimes. Last winter we had over 2 1/2 months of consecutive days with snow on the ground. However last winter was particularly bad.

haha that's ok. i suppose i should say it gets cold here to me.
we get temps in the teens-20s-30s, no snow, but the humidity stays high so the cold can be bone chilling (again to me)
we only get ice/sleet/freezing rain/little snow a few times a year, but it is just different here & i am glad of that :)

email me with what you have and we'll see ;)

my battery kit is compleatly installed now along with the eighth circle of hell known as the clutch line (the 9th circle is reserved for the 3 infamous coolant lines). Also did simbas home depot mod for the speedsource crossmember mounts, some rubber washers which will hopefully eliminate some of the vibration.

i guess the only thing left is the ss brake lines and the bov. Ive got a bunch of pics ill post up next week.

It runs. I started it yesterday and sounds good.

it was however short lived. The bayareaaAT throttle inlet promply blew apart at 8psi. It wasnt even welded, it looks like it was superglued. Between him shorting me on tbolt clamps, giving me the wrong silicone adapter for my intake, and some of the pipes were slightly bent when i got them, im pretty disapointed in his products. Now this?

Luckly a local mr2 guy is willing to let me borrow his, so ill grab his stock one tonight. The radiator works wonderfully too.
