Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[goodhart]

Wow, didn't realized FFWD was still around...they're oooooooooold school.

Great choice on the wheels, amazing how shaving a few lbs of rotational mass off makes such a difference. Lightest of all the OEM Evo 8/9/X wheels, should be a great fit for a DSM. Just make sure you get some lightweight tires to go with them rather than some heavy things that offset any gains.

What are you going to do for brakes?

oh yea, I have quite a few FFWD parts on this build now!

Right now they have about 5/32 left on the all season Continental's. Those will stay on for the break in/dyno and once they're burned off I'll get something for the street. Once things get serious I plan on getting some M&H Racemaster's (http://www.mandhtires.com/M-H-Drag-Radials/245-45R17#.Vu_1YiArLC0) for the front.


Brakes, I believe it has 1g big brakes on it right now, so I'll probably just throw some decent pads in there until s1ngletracker finishes his Cobra brake brackets.

Ok, this one has me overthinking a bit.

The stock coolant return pipe won't work for my setup and it's too close to the turbine housing for me to feel comfortable using rubber so I'm going to do a braided line. I plan on doing a banjo to -6AN (http://www.jnztuning.com/product_info.php?products_id=3915) to replicate the stock piece and loop it behind to the water pipe.

Anyways, I need a fitting that will work with the water pipe flare. So I'm looking for -6AN to M16x1.5, with the M16 end having a flare like the stock piece so it'll seal.
Looking at
THIS (http://www.summitracing.com/parts/rus-670531/overview/) part here, hoping it'll work. Thoughts?

TLDR; Need the correct fitting to go into the water pipe and connect to a 6AN on the other end with the correct flare to seal in the water pipe. (I'm pretty sure they are both 37° flares)


It will be replacing this:

Another deal I couldn't pass up. Still no time to work on anything lately. The wife has me painting the whole upstairs of the house this week.

Nice pick up. Some day you will get it done. It's been none stop house work over here. No time for any of my projects. Can't wait to see how your car turns out. Should be fun roosting the tires on the highway. Sure miss my old dsms. Well some days.
