Ill take your advice, I just love the look of the SMIM vs a stock intake manifold. Ill take some pics and put it up for sale. Thanks

I think I still have matching rear floor mats for this also. If I find them, you can have them.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

So with the motor out of the car, I decided to clean up the stock motor a little bit.
Freshly painted block and oil pan
Balance shafts eliminated
New front case gasket, oil pan gasket, front and rear crank seals.

Next thing is a new water pump, head gasket and head studs. As funds become available I'll get the clutch, injectors, wideband and eventually Ecmlink V3

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

New water pump, OEM composite head gasket, ARP head studs, 100 miles on the timing belt and components so I reused them. Painted the valve cover black. All new turbo gaskets, intake/exhaust gaskets.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

Bought this 1gb bumper today, didnt take long to cut it up for the FMIC install (thanks to an oxy-acetylene torch).

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

I dont know how long this thing has been sitting, Ill be bringing these parts to work so I can resurface the rotors, press in new lower ball joints, and press in new front wheel bearings. The ball joints both had a lot of play, and the bearings felt very rough.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

The rotors should be fine, they have probably 5k miles at most on pads and rotors on all 4 corners. As soon as you step on the brakes the rusty film will get knocked off them.

Re: 1g 6 bolt 4g63 tsi build

Good looking build man, i sure hope you have something else supporting the car other than the floor jack like in the above picture...i'd hate to see a car come down and sqaush a mofo
