Transplant: Engine da masuk

Today went and took a look at my car, the engine bay is beginning to resemble a proper engine bay, with everything in except the turbo and intercooler. I had made a decision last weekend to straight away mount the intercooler at the front bumper, this is to prevent heat stroke, get away from cutting the front bonnet and made the car more low profile... But this will also mean higher cost and more turbo lag. The pros and cons were weighted and due to the fact that this was to be a daily driven car, the cons were acceptable.

So far the huge radiator is in, the air condensor is in, power steering, master brake pump and hydraulic clutch is in... the clutch system and timing belt is to be purchased new for replacement.... air filter still needs to be clean and re-oil

The strut bar still haven't simulate for installation, looks like it might be able to make it in bypassing the brake pump.

Intercooler need to get a SR20 type which is small enough to place on a charade but big enough for the CT9 turbo.

Lets hope the car will be out in 2 weeks time... I beginning to miss her :(
