you should consider getting a stock clutch fan.

does a much better job than any e-fan, especially in a drifting situation

i had a stock clutch fan on there and it was overheating with it on, threw the e fan on and golden. dont plan on keeping the rotary anyway, but we will save that for another post

I got dumped header on my 88 NA and it sounds great and is nowhere near as loud as my buddy's Cobra.

Got some small updates. didnt get to start on the body work like i wanted to cause of the cold weather and the fact that i started to hear really bad crunching and grinding coming from my driver side wheel hub. started ripping her apart today, bearing was completely done. its whatever good excuse to finally get my dtss in

brake rotor is really bad and needs to be replaced along with new pads



off the car



bearing all grinded and spit



started to clean the hub alittle bit, i think it will turn out decent!





the destroyed rotor and pads





new bearings and dtss. rotors and pads are up in the air. trying to decide on blanks or drilled and slotted. the pads im not sure about either...





i have to wait till tomorrow to use the press, not going to try and hammer them in.
thats it till tomorrow...

Actually I serviced jet aircraft for Delta Airlines for 2 years so yes I do suffer from hearing loss in my left ear.

Here is my channel on YouTube where you can hear my open header, I even put the cam where you can see the pipe hanging under.
