Coolant reservoir arrived with the braided lines.
I guessed bought 8an line. It would work if I really tighteneed down the ends but. I'm going to order 6an linr as I believe it will be a better fit.

Sad part is this is almost.chrome looking. And actually its almost to shiny for my engine bay lol. I took picts of it sitting on my mishimoto x-line radiator just to show the difference.

Now you will have to polish all your dull aluminum parts:)

I really didn't want to do that. But I may polish everything 1 time take a picture and then hope everything dulls at the same pace lol.

It definetly does. I really want to road race this car (hoping for a time in aug when my brother comes to race vir for a month solid like he's done last 2yrs in a row.

But can't race if you leaks.

Side note on my break today at work I fabbed up amount for my new mishimoto coolant reservoir.
I just need to cut the hose down to length when I leave and tomorrow I'll paint the bracket for final assembly. Here's what it looks like so far.

Thanks, I still have a ways to go. But I've been trying to do alot of "new"oem replacement stuff as i go along with all the aftermarket stuff.

If you go back and I think it's post #3. I update thay everytime I put something new on the car and the dates I put it on or arrived. (As some parts I'm hording due to a sale or what not I came across)

I had been talking with my brother about what type of steering wheel and racing Seats he's found he likes.

And he immediate said http://drivensteering.net

Said he knows the owner quality is top notch. So after talking with him today he convinced me to pull the trigger on there line (didn't really take much, it's half the price of sparco products, the company theme is red/black which is perfect for the car)
I plan to buy there racing Seats come tax time. But for now here's what I have coming.

Driven 12.9"flat steering wheel
Driven quick release
Sparco hub (they didn't have there own. So ordered it from extremepsi as I had to place an order for other stuff as well to complete my 4an vacuum setup, and I want to switch my aem oil pressure gauge to read the turbo fees oil pressure.
