Looks pretty good. Thats a rare engine too! And those rims were something like I was wonting for the Formula. I just cant ever seem to locate the proper offsets.

I redid the engine mounts today. I welded better, stronger brackets and polyeurthane mounts. I no longer need the upper dogbone which is good because it broke. I also leveled the engine. Before it was sitting about an inch high on the right side. The car is much smoother to drive now. No pictures because I was focused on what I was doing. Maybe now I can finally get to my intercooler install.

I had to order a couple parts for the charge pipes so not much progress. I got the w2a intercooler in its location:

I must be missing something, how are you going to route the charge pipes into the heat exchanger if the inlet and outlet are against the firewall?

The inlet and outlet are not aginst the firewall. There is about 7 inches there. I ordered 2 silicone 90 degree couplers for them. It gives me a more direct routing to the turbo.
Now that I look at the pictures on my laptop and not my phone I see that it does look like the inlet and outlet are against the firewall. It's deceiving because they are not. I ordered these for the inlet and outlet[This message has been edited by FieroMaster88 (edited 06-21-2012).]

Did a little troubleshooting on my temperature gauge today. It is well into the red before the fan was kicking on. I was not too worried about it because the engine did not seem that warm. Today I let the car idle until the fan kicked on then checked the temperature reading with a second gauge. It read 190 degrees coolant temperature. The gauge in the car was pegged in the red. I guess I need to find a new gauge.
