    Almost got my Capri running!

    OK, so, since the move, I haven't had a lot of time to work on the car up until recently.

    Nick came over last night and helped me with the trans install, crossmember was coated with several coats of Kryptonite and Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings installed, along with new stainless bolts.

    I also bought a set of FMS aluminum valve covers, so I took some pics, now that the engine is sitting where it's supposed to so it doesn't look goofy I also got my CAI figured out so that I didn't have to cut the inner fender, and the MAF will be inside the fender.

    So, this is a before shot, just showing the engine sitting right in the bay, with the CAI how it's going to be routed:



    And in case nobody has seen what the big-ass ports on a TFS-R upper/lower look like, here's a couple pics, note that you can see Cobra's port work from back when he ported heads a bit in the runners:









    And a couple pics of the engine with the valve covers installed, no upper:





    And one with the upper installed (just has threaded rod holding it in place, waiting on stud kit for the 1" spacer):

        But of course! Broke my T5 a few years back, finally got it into the tranny shop, so it's all nice and fresh!

          I made the lines, they just have standard AN fittings on both ends, the adaptors came from Autoparts Extra, I don't remember who makes them, but they are pretty slick eh?

                They should be listed in Summit from Aeroquip or one of the other vendors...
