Thanks!

I am using the Greddy Ultamite E-Manage for a piggy back.

I have to keep the rats nest for california smog reasons. Even though it will look hooked up, most of it wont until I smog the car.

The rats nest tubes are paint, so will the water pump.

I have spent countless hours polishing the chit. I kinda got discouraged after the UIM, but kept my spirit and have started the rest. Just finished the TB last night.

300-340 rwhp would be nice.

I upgraded the fuel system for reliability/looks. I will be showing this car as well. Nothing extreme, cause I am doing it all myself. I want the best of both worlds without paying a fortune to get it all done.

Very, very nice work. Sounds like a fun project. It's challenging the bling that rx-heven has Too bad it wont be finished to show off at the vacaville meet.

What is a manifold mod btw? Also you're missing the TB spacer (I know it's not all together and just a mock up for the photo).

nice work man


i know how it feels polishing til your hands are numb and then some, which is why i hate to do it except on my own parts but to help make ends meet i might start doing it for more people.

Atkins Pully set w/ Pinnapple Racing Alternator Kit.

THe combo is pretty sweet. I wanted to relocate the alternator to open up the area infront of the UIM. Here are some pic, as well as other of progress.


Alternator Kit W/ Atkins Pulley kit. Custom sizedbelt, the on Atkins sends wont fit with the Pinnapple Kit.

Nevermind the little red wire, it is going to the Fuel Pump Rewire Mod.

Oil and Water Temp Guages.



Greddy Ultamite E-Manage


Custom Pigtail made from Extra T2 Harnesses and ECU.

Very nice work. Good battery relocation, clean gauge/electronics install, and I even think I see a pulsation damper there. What are you making space for at the front of the engine?

Thanks Aron!
The fuel lines will run easier, and it is much cleaner. I saw the Alt relocation on some Aussie car, and thought it was nice looking and practicle when working on the UIM. It allows you to view the injectors, rails ect. Worth the price if you dont have, or get rid of power steering and Air con.
