I haven't but heard it doesn't hold well. You are better off topping with something like hydro2. Although I just use wax as a popping effect before a show.

I'm also thinking of going with the TMI sport R seats instead of the R500s. I'm liking the higher side bolster supports and the fact that they are Velcro to cut down on some of the hog rings on install. Probably will just get black stitching.

Those don't look too bad. Cheaper than the ones American muscle have.

 

[GallopingFord]

Wow, those look really nice. I like the R500 seats, but the rear ones look like shit.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Exactly what I thought too cam. I can get these for 800 shipped with seat foam from CJs versus $940 for the AM ones

Well I had a setback this weekend. There was powder coat in some of the holes for the timing cover. Ended up messing threads up trying to clean them up so I got a timing cover from a local guy and the powdercoater is going to redo it for me. I just cleaned up the garage today and painted the lettering on the turbo.

Also after pulling the factory fuel line out tonight, I decided I am to go ahead and pull the EVAP system to clear up some room for the return line back to the tank. Plus theres obviously no need to keep it at this point. The car would fail any emission testing with the open downpipe and all the other mods so EVAP is no worries. We dont have any testing either.

I envy you guys who don't have emissions testing. That turbo looks badass btw

Thanks! I'd say that would make the bullitt swap a little easier plus opens up your exhaust options!
