Gauges are all rewired just waiting to put it all back together and wire up the amp for my speakers. I need to order the parts for the trans this week so I can get to putting it back together as soon as possible. Seeing it ripped all apart in my garage and it getting nicer out is real hard lol.

Those are GM's Xtreme Tuner side skirts and are rare. But the EVO 5 side skirts are ALOT easier to get and almost identical with the biggest difference being that the EVO skirts are fiberglass and the Xtreme Tuner skirts are urethane.


That intake manifold looks familiar..... Did you get it used from someone?




its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa

Huh I did not know that. Ill keep that in mind when I get some. And the manifold was on the car when I got it. I believe he told me had a local guy fab it up for him. The only thing I don't like about it is that with the throttle body and where its at the throttle cable is bent and broke cause of the the angle its positioned.

Update: Just ordered my clutch kit. I went with the exedy pressure plate and the act 6 puck disk. I also ordered the Team green insert but im waiting for a comfirmation on that. Parts should start rolling in soon hopefully. Have to finish up my system and put my 4 channel in and get the guages all wired back up. Then im going to try and clean the wire mess in the bay some more.
If anyone has any pointers or suggestions let me know.

Thanks man I appreciate for sure. Still needs work but I need parts to get it back and running again. Being patient isn't ever fun especially since its getting nice out around here.

I agree with the EVO5 skirts comment. I ordered a set to trade ro JHand for her Razzi skirts.. pretty much the same thing

The intake manifold was made by Airforced-4...I had one as well and sold it to PJ a long while back.

Well all my parts are ordered. I did the ecu relocation and it turned out great. We did some painting on a few things and it turned out great. Waiting on my team green insert so I can crack this trans open and put it in.

Well today I finally got my Team green insert. I really wasnt all that happy with it. No Instructions with it and the straps had to be drilled. It was a pain in the ass but after a few trial and errors we finally got it in. I also repainted my dash and put my new deck in and wired up my gauges. I also painted the gay chrome tip black and im happy how it turned out.

This is the pin that was out of the bad differential and you can see that the fluid was way low for along time.
This is how its supposed to look and im glad my new transmissions was this good.

Well so far I have got my replacement flywheel insert and a new boost solenoid for my aem tru boost, but im waiting on my clutch disc to get here. The company is being a real pain and im thinking about just canceling the order if I don't receive it in the next few days. Tell me what you guys think about the dash change?

Ok update on the car its finally going back together tomorrow. I ended up getting the wrong flywheel insert and ended up waiting on the right one and my clutch disc forever. I hope to never deal with the people I ordered from again.
