not yet. I know there is a youtube video of a guy doing them. My project is slow, little here little there, wait for more parts... Had 4 surgeries this year and the recovery has made me slow I'm hoping first start of this engine to be in march. getting really close now. I know the trans is slipping. but I have that 4 speed manual as well.

Post Keep Going !

It turns out it's an 8MM S tool, I got them done and love it .

Go easy after surgery, when I had my vasectomy long ago I popped a stick, ow .

Heal properly first then work on the TD .

Remember : the 722.'s tranny pressure is adjustable so don't junk it just yet .

Was able to work on the car all weekend, made a ton of progress. Its very close to it first re-fire after all this work. Here are some pictures for anyone who happens to be interested in how the hx30w fits with the stock exhaust.

Post The hx30w Turbo

It looks smaller so I assume that means spools up faster giving more power sooner ? .

Here is part 1 of my dash/cluster redo.

I used Moman plasma gauges, 3 coats Testers florescent on the needles, Replaced all the bulbs in the cluster with White LED, and added a pair pf little UV LED to next to the clear plastic reflector in the top of the cluster to help the needles pop. Picture was take in pitch black.

Post Gauge Fun

Wow ~ that really does pop .

Interestingly, the odometer is still too shaded .

Maybe a link to the LED's ? .

I have a 7.5mm superpump and the HX30 from Benzforce. I have taken the car for a single drive just to see, and it is easily twice as fast as if was stock. I have also ridden in another one setup just like mine that made me rethink the stock brakes! Very impressive setup.

I have a little youtube channel where I sometimes post updates about it, and even have done a few quicks, including one on how to drip time your IP. I'm extremly slow at working on this, as you can tell from the start date of this thread, but rest assured, it's getting there step by step
