All parts have been installed. The DME, S/C Pulley and Belt have just reached, hopefully by today they will be sent to the workshop so we can run this thing!

We used the OEM Air Intake pipe and modified it for the WEISTEC filter. It might not be necessary for the US but its important to get as much air as we can to the engine and intake in our hot climate. Already have the Ice-Tank from Weistec planned for this summer.

Update

The boys started to work on the radiator, OEM heat exchanger kit. Cleaned most of the engine bay and parts, lots of leaks here-and-there but fixed 90 percent of the problems. The last remaining part is left, the ABC Steering Pump hose, it was slightly damaged so I decided to get a new one before any problems happen.
