The dumbass working on the plenum still hasn't gotten it done. He was going to try to get it done when I was in Chico last Monday. Still nothing.
I got the stereo back in it. I forget how much better it sounds than the OEM Bose one in the truck. Night and day.
Hopefully I can get the plenum and front bumper on this weekend. After that, it's just plugging everything back in and running the rest of the fuel line. Then I guess I'll just have to start it up.

They came out purdy. I had to cut the front bumper so that the DOOLZ will fit. I also bought a new grill. Billet aluminum. I don't quite how it will look, so I'll be asking your opinions when it's done.

A buffing wheel on a bench grinder and some jewelers rouge. I had to sand the throttle balance a little before using the buffing wheel.
ZXDude-The BC wasn't that bad. Just lots of vacuum hose. The hardest part was deciding where to run the vacuum hose and wires through into the cabin.

Sorry for the big pics
This is how I had mounted My Profec II. It gives it a subdued/stock look in the clock position.
I cut of the mounting tabs off the side of the clock with a dremel then used plastic fusion to glue them to the sides of the BC so I would have screw on bracket for the BC. With just a little bit of shaving around the hole you can clealy see all of the controls without them poking through the mounting hole too much.

Plenum's on!!! Harness is in place. Vacuum hoses are in place. I'll post pics tomorrow. I'm thinking 2 more weekends and I'll be turning the key.
It's amazing how well the wiring harness is put together. Everything fits so well.

Do you think I overdid it with the red???
It really didn't seem like that much since I painted lots of small pieces over the past few weeks.
I do kinda wish I painted the timing cover. Oh well, a project for another day. T -minus 52,000 miles.
The only things I left are the following...
1) Front strut bar.
2) Fuel lines.
Did you guys that you need to slightly alter the fuel lines to and from the fuel rail in order to get the Carbing strut bar to fit? Me neither.
Just an FYI for those of you who are looking to add this in the future. It's not as simple as removing 4 bolts, dropping it in place and tightening those same 4 bolts.
3) Connect electric fan.
4) Add coolant.
5) Check and recheck everything thoroughly.
6) Boost controller mount.
7) Bumper
I'm sure I'll start it after #6 is done, but it'll be tough to fight the urge to drive it since the front is completely exposed.
8) Rear sway bar.
9) Rear strut bar.
10) Adjustable rear upper arms + NISMO bushings.
11) Speed bleeders on all calipers and ABS.
12) Flush with synthethic brake fluid.
13) Alignment.....badly needed.
Some of this stuff is left over from before. We'll call that era Pre WIFFS (When it f*ck*ng failed smog).
