Just when I think I’m seeing a finish line, I keep get told there is more to buy. F–K. While I did have a wideband 02 monitor in mind, it was the 2000’s Autometer one with Yellow and Green. Unfortunately, I need a whole system and while it’s not as nostalgic flashy (which is what …
I knew right away that I would want to have an oil relocation set up. I felt it just would be easier for me and it looks cool! I was going to buy a full kit, but eventually started piecing it together. During the pandemic, things were getting weird with shipping and parts availability. One …

When I got Project Leopard, it was in pieces. But the modified harness was still there and “intact”. Marco looked at it and verified it was the original harness he worked on. Cameron told me at one point, someone before him messed with the wiring to have AEM work in the car. Originally, I wanted …

The power steering is finally done! Since I was missing the bracket and pump, I had to order them from Japan. I also got a rebuilt kit for the pump. Originally I was going with a Chase Bays kit, but they were back ordered. Cleaned up the PS pump, cleaned up the bracket and repainted. …
After getting everything pieced together with the transmission… Hung put on the Slave Cylinder and when he got the clutch line, put it together. All these parts were missing, so new slave cylinder, dust boot and hardware. New clutch line from slave to master cylinders.

I’ve had the original custom driveshaft (modified portion) just waiting to get put on. But the carrier bearing was pretty bad and ripped. So I ordered a new one. Hung got it installed. Hung replaced the bearing and said that the rear part of the driveshaft is missing. Well, we all know it was there …
I got Project Leopard with the original intercooler and IC piping. Yes, both were rough condition and the Intercooler was too chunky for my taste. Additionally, for the magazine, they made the piping go behind the headlights rather than drill holes in where the battery tray is located. In a sense, it was rushed for …

One of the issues we found with the Syko elbow was that the internal wastegate of the Tomei turbo would hit the inside. I asked Marco about this and he said it’s the 1st time they used a Syko elbow and Tomei turbo together. I would also message Skyo Performance this issue and there would …
When I got the Greddy intake manifold, the water inlet was destroyed. Greddy didn’t sell it separately. Luckily I was able to source one from Boost Doc in Australia. When my car was a Apex, Jason said it wasn’t a good fit, but there’s no other options out there. Usually these need to be pressed …
