Hell Yeah Buddy... The location of the heater hoses bugged me, along with so many other parts of this damn car... gotta make improvements where ever you can.... there is a long list

[SOCAL.M6.ZLE]

Alright guys... made some good progress today!

1. Finished installing my new Ridetech rear coil-overs (BMR coil-over lower control arms are still on back order)... fit and finish on these is awesome. Super excited to these babies on the road!
2. Finish installing my customized Mishimoto reservoir... along with tucking the wonderfully placed heater hoses... Turned out pretty good I think.
3. Cut down a 12-rib belt to fit my 10-rib as the FI spacer plates added some length and it looked like I was in between 10-rib sizes.
4. Replaced a bunch of the engine bay hardware over to ARP stainless 12point for consistency and to match the Ridetechs Coil-overs.
5. Repainted valve covers while everything was off the car...

and a few others hidden goodies... more cool stuff to share soon!

Cheers to doing what makes you happy

Thanks buddy... Appreciate the kind words... it has been a labor of love to find the balance of form and function. I always love seeing VR cars, that echo the same sentiment.

Side note; by popular request, just about done with a matching set of decorative cap covers... the ones on the car now are not the final product fit and finish but they are close...

What does everyone think? Would anyone else want a set?
The intention is for them to mimic / match satin wrinkle powder coating.

To answer all the PM's all at once... I won't have a complete set finished until 2 weeks after SEMA. More to follow...

Gabe did you ever find ARP bolts to mount the supercharger?

You missed upgrading a bolt on you Roto Fab housing…. J/K Looks great, well done on the attention to detail!

I'm with you ! I have told Gabe for months, he needs to replace those chrome metal looking constant pressure clamps with black ones on the Roto Fab and the Throttle Body !

Hey buddy, I did not... the ones they have that are the correct length do not have enough thread. I may order a custom batch to fit.

Instead, I added the FI Interchiller plates that came with longer bolts.
