Say, you don't happen to have an OEM coolant tank or any idlers laying around from the original setup in the black car do you?

very nice dubbs, dont discount the blower yet, its already on there and the SN2000 will make plenty of power
GaryI just don't like that I can't find much for anything of info on it.
As long as I can find an idler and get the belt aligned (and decide I can't afford the single 60mm setup this year) I'll probably stick with it for a while. -
Oh yeah he stops into the store to see me about once a month working on his corolla, or the buick, or the caddy. Nice ride I like the stock cobra wheels but you're changing them right?

We'll see how finances are when I put new tires on them.
Josh, are you still at O'Rileys?

dubbs idlers are cake, take a pic of it and ill find you one for around $80, otherwise making a different one fit is easy, hell i made my entire pulley system on my car for around $275Oh I'm not entirely worried about the idler... more-so the fact that it looks to me like the blower isn't aligned properly and I'm not sure how much adjustment I'm going to be able to get out of it. I guess we'll see when I tear into it (hopefully this weekend).

I like em too dubbsy, just saying I'd want em gone if it were mine, and I wish it were btw. Wheels are the one thing that has the biggest bang for the buck impact on a vehicle's look. I am still with O'Reilly why do you ask?

Might be looking for some parts is why I ask... idler in particular, and I was in there earlier this week looking at prices in an oil pressure gauge and I'll be looking for a full replacement triple A pillar pod.

tweecer R/T
Autometer Phantom Boost and Water temp gauges.Short term plans are to fix a couple things. Have the serpentine belt rubbing on a heater hose and the blower belt needs to be aligned (and an idler replaced). Also have to relocate the coolant overflow tank as its rubbing on one of the idlers - which may result in me relocating the battery to the trunk to have a little more room up front. Once all that is done I need to finish getting some break-in miles on the motor (about 350 on it so far) and get it back down to MPLS for tuning. This combo made 405rwhp on the old motor so I'd like to see the same out of it again - although that may have been with the methanol injection set up which I don't plan on using.
From there, who knows. Would like to do a single turbo and E85. Need to figure out how much fuel upgrades are going to cost me first though.
Holt shit Dubbsy, it looks stock. Can we see some under hood pictures?
