Looks good I plan to own a spyder one of these days.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

I believe this is my favorite Spyder I have seen so far. Just looks amazing.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Thanks guys. I'm gonna get this thing on the road this year. No excuses to be made.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

First package just came in.

Worked on it a little bit yesterday. Trial fit of the Tial BOV and catch can. I couldn't find my black coupler so I had to use a blue one. Need to order more t bolt clamps also. I plan to have a one piece upper intercooler piping in the future so it doesn't look so messy with all of the couplers.

Another box showed up at the door.

Powdercoated red shaved valve cover with 1/2 NPT threads. Planning to either powdercoat it wrinkle black or white. Which one?

I love the engine bay! I think white would look pretty cool or wrinkle black would too.

I've got some wrinkle white powder I'd sell cheap or trade for something dumb if you're interested.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

This confused me for a few seconds, until I realized that the fan was reflecting off the heatshield.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

I would say powdercoat it black. White would be hard to keep clean, and the black one now looks good. Keep it the same.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

White! It's already shaved so clean up would take like 5 seconds.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Anyone have any pictures of wrinkle white valve cover? I have yet to see someone with one.

Went back to visit the spyder. She's slowly getting some more color in the bay.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

Finally after a year and half i was able to order my new oem coilpack. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y14...ps7977da61.jpg

With the house, fixing up my beaters, and tools for work, it's been hard to buy parts for the dsm. I will attempt to get this thing started again.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

This thing doesn't run?

Re: Spyder in the making
 

I had it idling about 2 years ago. Still havent attempt to remove that broken bolt on the lower control arm which is why she didnt move. But now with all of the equipment at work I can try once I can get her towed there. Since then, a buddy of mine borrowed my old coilpack and I swapped out to a SMIM. Somehow lead to no spark on #2 and #3. Which means more new oem parts.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

holy crap, how much a new oem coil pack run ya?

Re: Spyder in the making
 

182 shipped from jnztuning. I will not settle for any oem aftermarket replacement.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

God damn. Why not just a good used one? lol

Re: Spyder in the making
 

I just gave away 5 or so in the last month of oem ones. Lol.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

I've got tons of new oem parts into it from nuts, bolts, clips, plates, gaskets, etc. That's just how I roll. Lol.

Re: Spyder in the making
 

She uses OEM oil filters too. Lol
