Awesome, can't wait to see them in the car! Been wanting to change the leds for so long now lol

Not as much as we were trying to get that &*&(*&*&^$#$%$& onto it!

We know you are not supposed to use a dolly to tow a RWD car but without it running there was not way we were going to get it on/of a car trailer; our original plan was to tow it with the rear wheels on the dolly so that way the car could be put in gear/e brake on and increase the odds of it not coming off the dolly....well....we could not get the front wheels to lock into straight ahead so when we started towing the car it was dragging...ok, onto plan B which was to put the car on with the front wheels on the dolly..yeah....not happening with the bumper/splitter on the car...oops...so, off came the bumper, onto the dolly went the car.

Tow the car to my house where we get suprise number two..there is oil everywhere on the under carriage and engine bay...WTF....what we figured was the oil feed line still had oil in it/air turbulence was creating a vaccum that sucked the oil out of the pan and into the line spewing it everywhere...yuck....so we start wiping eveything down, get the car off the trailer-which is fun trying to get get a grip with your hands/feet when they are covered with oil-and start trying to get the car up the driveway...yeah..not so much....as much fun as it was trying to get the car off the trailer was increasd 10x trying to push a effin vert UP a driveway...so....remember the threads I had about whether or not to buy a tractor or zero turn mower? Yep..hooked the straps up to the Z turn, did some peeling out on the driveway but up the driveway the car went!:clap:

Oh...forgot to mention what really made this event a blast..it was raining the whole time!:helpme:

And to top it all off...as the car was being towed into the garage the wife came out to see what the commotion was, looked at us and said "you did not just use the mower to tow a mustang, did you?"...looked at us, shook her head and went back inside!:omfg:

^^^ lmfao. My fiance would have done the same thing!


It was pretty funny, no videos though!

Finished figuring out where and how to mount my Fore billet vac/boost block. Think it turned out pretty nice! Used two L brackets to mount it to the cowl area, still have to go back and drill holes and bolt it in but its mocked up for now. Ran a 8an hose right from the back of the manifold to the 3/8 barb on the left and then the 3/8 barb on the right goes to the brake booster. The 3 middle 1/4 barbs are for the frps, bov, and boost gauge/eboost2. Then I plugged the 2 other holes on the block.

Thanks! To manage all the my vac run components, before I had 3 or 4 nylon T splices and lots of vac hoses everywhere for the boost gauge, boost controller, bov etc. The block cleans that up and allows all the sources to get the boost/vac signal equaly vice if they are T'd in/daisy chained down stream of one another etc. Also it's as easy as adding another fitting for another source later on vice cutting and splicing so if I add say a fpr for a return system I can route up the vac/boost signal for that easily. They are pretty common, more so on turbo cars as they have more vac run stuff. Oh and yeah it looks way better as well!

Here is a generic one from ebay you can look at.
