Honestly if it were me, i'd find an uncracked 2g manifold and port it out to match a 7cm turbine gasket.

You know, I honestly have never met the guy. But from what I have seen not much has improved. If anything it has gotten' worse.. I don't really know how to explain it, or get into it.
I guess it is one of those things you have to experience for yourself to understand. You know?
How about you? You guys are under Adam, aren't you?

The "repair" was done before my dad and I recieved the car. It really is just an area they cut out what was rusting and spot welded metal in its place. Then sprayed it so it wouldn't rust as well.
I can literly see light if I put my head next to the metal and look between the welds. I would really like to pull the engine and redo the engine bay. The driver's side is starting to rust too. The car could also use a paintjob.

So yeah, I like taking pictures of this car if you haven't already caught on. Since I last posted I have completely de-riced the exterior, and pretty much cleaned up the interior. After that I tinted a few things, put a new valve cover on, installed a short throw, and put a new starter in it...that's about it.
Well up until Saturday anyway. When this happened..

I have no clue what happened. I was just driving then saw a lot of steam. At first I though it was smoke and I almost wanted to freak. Then when I didn't smell burnt wire and saw this,

Mishimoto radiator on the way to take the old ones place. I just hope I'll be able to make it to Proving Grounds.

You should just steal the dtivetrain from the talon and swap this thing.
