    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    I hadn't thought about it, but like the idea. Welding underneath the fender might be a pain, but I've always wanted to try those threaded zerks. Might be an option. Any thoughts on color of the panel. Part of me like the thought of the the black contrasting.

    Did I miss out on the voting for the carpet? I vote Disco Purple with custom gold "Gila" embroidery.

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    So since I get such blazing feedback, I figured I would put another couple of questions towards the forum. I had originally become a bit rambunctious in cutting my inner fender. Beyond MadMike and others giving me flak it's always bothered me. The original plan was to use some Scott Rod panels...

    Any suggestions on someone local to tune this pig when I'm done? I can't remember the brand of the current chip, but she runs incredibly rich done low. I would like to go with the AEM plug and play collecting dust, but am up for suggestions from those you recommend. Thanks in advance.

    After posting. I managed to order the factory style dipstick I need and work on the Jeep. The dipstick will help me make the gestimate much more accurate when eyeballing my oil level, and is one of the few "nice to have" parts I have on my Christmas list. After filling my oil through the catch...

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    Does anyone read the crap I'm posting? Between some of my treatment and my lack of adding a decent oil bung to my valve covers, it's been awhile since the last post. I've loomed the wires the ugliest way possible, installed a new flex-a-lite fan controller, adjusted the UPR coilovers and...

    Heck yeah they are. Hard to tear them up when they've been sitting under the car so long.

    I've been seriously slacking. We got the disco snail back on last week, but I decided I needed to make the wife's "go to work car" road worthy considering we bought the thing only to find a koi pond where the spare tire well is supposed to be. Seems the quarter has been repaired and the body...

    Yup, right after I read your post. Oddly enough, the first turbo I pulled up would have worked awesome. Oh, well.

    Well, the shaft is fugged. It is bent slitly, and must have been re-worked back in the day by HP Performance. Gameplan is to replace the cartridge (centersection) and see if there is a billet impeller out on the market. I'm going to save Butkiss on rebuilding vice a new turbo, but can't seem to...

    Good, out of all the unique monsterisms, I've grown to really like the way your console came out.

    Have you tried pulling the carpet over and rough setting your center console yet? Just curious if you can see if there are mods you can an do to your burgeoning tunnel vice the console.

    Called Boost Labs today and I'm supposed to re ceive some input by the end of next week. I was hoping that they'd be able to inspect it after a week, but seems like the covid spending has them busy. No worries, I've been thinking of selling my A5 and getting somethimg else to daily. So my time...

    See, everyone thought I was just promoting hooliganism with the "buy a plasma cutter" comments. Actually, I was, but I can't help but say it might actually have helped in transitioning sound deadening into smoke.

    Progress Thread Fire Hazard GT build: On the road

    Did manage to drop the turbo off today. HP Performance ended up using a Holset turbo which is probably good concidering every vehicle parked outside of Boost Lab was a cummins diesel. Initial visual inspection seemed good. Hopefully she's good after teardown, if not I think I'm going have to...
