I got it at O'reillys for like $10 or $15. You can also pick them up at Walmart in the Marine section.

I have'nt gotten much progress done lately. Things are going kind of slow. Tommy spent 4hrs. scrubbing my S5 trans. trying to make it the cleanest, non-rebuilt, FC tranny in the world. I need to buy a grit blaster that way I can save hundreds of hours when he wants something clean. I also managed to polish out my secondary rail and clean and paint numerous other parts. I'm kind of being held back due to the last mechanic that worked on my car. When I had my clutch & turbo replaced he stripped most of my bell housing bolts not to mention some trans. mount bolts. Snapping one of my exhaust engine studs off into the housing. My turbo and trans. mounts where all finger tight. Needless to say this man will NEVER touch my car again. Anyways here are a couple of pics:

2010... thats the truth. I'm going to have to get help from other people because Tommy is going to be a little pre-occupied with stripping his old car and finding another chassis.

I finally got a few things done: transmission, starter, driveshaft, turbo, manifold, & intercooler mounted, last night. I'm going to go work on it again tonight and see if we can get started on the intercooler piping. I'm just having fitment issues with my RC 1000cc injectors and secondary rail. I'm unsure as to what bushings/grommets to make the injectors fit into the stock intake manifold and the aftermarket rail. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I have everything worked out with the primary rail and the 700cc injectors. Just unsure about the secondary setup. Anyways, here are a couple of pics of my car last night.

If anyone has any suggestions let me know I am not sure about the injectors, but I was just wondering who is going to do the intercooler pipe welding for you? I am about to that point and I am looking for a decent welder.

My best friend, Tommy, is going to do it for me. He has a nice setup and I image he could weld yours for you as well. I'll post a pic of what the piping looks like when were done.

Well, this week sucked but next week should have decent progress. We are trying to re-mount the intercooler and having some problems with the brackets but we will get that taken care of Sunday. I managed to get both primary and secondary rails mounted and injectors installed. Suprisingly, I managed to get everything to fit correctly. All of my fuel fittings and lines will be in Monday or Tuesday. Just as my luck goes, we are all out of gas to weld at the moment. Some asshat left the gas on. I'll let you guys know how tomorrow goes.

Some asshat at tommys shop. Theres only a handful of you over there. admit it, it was you wasn't it. j/k ;D know where I can get some 550 low imp inj for cheap to send and have rebuilt? I'm having the hot start problems everyday since the weather heated up. I may think about going premix as well. My spark plugs are filthy with oil and fuel and soot(sp). they're pretty new too. I've had to take them out to clean them and help clear the flooded eng out. It sucks when the car is hot. Embarassing too.
