I'm honestly so annoyed with pulling my skid plate off that I haven't bothered haha. When I fix the header thing, I'll confirm what my base pressure is and then adjust from there

The actuator rod length is a piece of cake to adjust, I just hate the process of putting it on ramps and then pulling the skid plate off. The only thing I hate more is taking the front bumper off

I have not put my skid plate on in over 2 months. I am keeping it off until I have everything with my turbo done haha. I know what you mean tho. I need ramps badly, would let me do some work at my condo instead of always finding time to drive out to my father's garage and getting to work out there (doesn't help that his car is up on the jack stands and using a lot of the space up already! lol

Plus really, I bet 10 PSI feels pretty damn good

I have these and they're awesome. So much easier to get the front end up in the air

[SkAsphalt]

Ok, those are amazing. Something I am certainly considering. $350+ well spent (Well that is the expensive one, looks like I could use the cheaper ones well. I am going to do some yard stick measurements tonight!

Here's something I doubt anyone else has in combination. Saikou Michi dual catch can setup with a custom can that has an additional inlet to accommodate the AVO breather line. They're mated to custom made vacuum hard lines that some of you may recognize from another build thread on here

Here's some shots from Manitobas first drift event this past weekend:









I've also decided to upgrade the clutch, so i went with the Exedy Stage 1. Now to see if I can manage to get the car high enough in the air to drop the transmission in my garage

Boost never fails. Looks great!

Great looking build, I love all the work that you have done

I have actually started working on my car, not as nicely done as yours though, and I was hoping that you might be able answer a question for me.

I purchased the Innovate MTX oil temp/pressure gauge and mounted it to the air vent as well, but I don't know where to connect the red and white wires. I've never installed a gauge before and I figured the Innovate would be easy because it only has 2 wires to connect besides the three ground wires.

You don't happen to remember where you connected those 2 wires to do you or perhaps have another picture that shows the connection more clearly? I tried searching the forum and that's how I came across your build thread.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

And yeah, I connected them on the dimmer panel. I'll see if I can find the wiring diagram, but there are a couple of wires to tap into there that will give you a 12 volt and dimmer signal. Or you could do what a lot of people do and just use a fuse tap and get power from your drivers side kick panel. The dimmer is kinda useless, it's barely noticeable

So here is the million dollar question... What was the cost of said build? Beautiful by the way, I wish I didn't have a mortgage lol

Well it's not a million, thankfully haha. I do my own work so the actual value of the build is skewed. I would estimate the cost of parts to be about 15-20k. I don't want to add up the receipts folder

How do you get an 86 to the top of these ramps without ripping the bumper off? (Doesn't seem to be clearance with out a 6" lift on your suspension)

[noobcake]

oh damn, that rev exhaust video is yours? I had that video bookmarked on my computer cause the exhaust sounded good. You need to get a city cruise video out so we can hear more of that exhaust

You would actually be surprised what you can get on these. This is the model I have:

It barely fits without scraping, but it gets up there
