bed full up updates here!



I have ported and Powdercoated Upper and Lower Intake Manifolds with stainless allen head bolts

The TCE 65mm TB, L67 Coils, new steering wheel buttons, new under the hood things to be painted, headlight covers to be buffed, and putting an eyelid on them.

I'm also going to try and make both window switches into automatics, i will do a write-up if i get it to work!

Coils:



Under Hood Clean-up stuff and window switch:



Here's a close-up of the manifolds:



Also a polished UIM that I'm going to use as a wall decoration because it's cracked in various places but still looks nice!



Also a new video with all of the updates and the new underglow!

New Video

Let me know what you guys think!

Some updates here:

This pile of boxes just waiting for summer



Started painting the Wizared.



Painted it black: (Notice the new breather filter on the oil cap)



The black didn't work out the best so I used some filler primer on it and was planning to repaint, but ran into a little issue:



So I had to completely strip all the paint and primer.

I also had the breather filter with the chrome top so I painted that black also:




I also got my steering wheel buttons back, will have all four buttons with red leds (not installed yet)

let me know what you guys think!
