I'm not sure. I never posted it on streetfire, mine tossing me a link. If it's got the intercooler sitting on a stool, and my Sister revving it from the bay then yes.

Is it this video...?

[Sly240silv]

Yes its that video. Your sister must have posted it? Or a friend. Either way it sounds nice and looks clean as hell.

J30 Top SOHC Bottom


Few hours of fabrication... and done

The J30 swap was not just take them out, put them in, I modified the J30 tach and speedo to fit... Do not attempt if you've never done a gauge swap.

The color is irrelevant. So it doesn't bother me, in a sense i'm glad a lot of people can not see past the color. Shows a lot.

Thanks for the props.

Summary of some work

Quest Alternator came (took pics next to the RB)
Battery power cable routed, battery is functional in the trunk
Front end dismantled
Block shaved down to fit new Quest Alternator
Custom Alternator spacer, and bracket (hopefully our first attempt at a bracket works, if not we'll make another)
Radiator support cut off (we are going working on something)
Remote fuse box mounted and power wire installed inside center console / arm rest storage box.
Rear suspension checked over, checked each component, found a missing washer on drivers-side main hub (main bolt that connects knuckle and hub, hidden above the Axles, i'm unaware where or how it's missing, but working on digging through thousands of our spare bolts/washers to find one that will fit correctly)
Interior painting on it's very last stage
Took out the radiator, took out the fans.
Sent Alicia to get burger king, took the motor out and put it back in before she got back (just kidding)

I think we did a few more things but the above is sufficient.

Pictures of some things below...
(Yes you'll notice it's a little dirty, lot's of metal shaving/cutting, it'll all be cleaned when we finish doing all the work down the road)
(RB Alternator Left Quest right, and no it's not a bolt-on, it requires modification, custom spacer and bracket which we've built our first set and waiting to test)

[TougeNW]

Work Summary

Alternator bracket fabricated - We utilized the stock Alt. Bracket, and stock tensioner, we fabricated in a spacer and mounting bracket, in which it's now a 3 point system, 2 adjustment points, and 2 bracing points. (it was fun, feels good to have the new non OEM Alternator on there)
Steering Hub and Quick release adjusted
Some tack welds on the radiator support arms (not the actual center piece, we aren't finished with it yet, we are making it so it's removable, rather then permanent)
Hood pins acquired
Few other small things done....
Also started the car up let it run for just a few minutes, still need to hook up all of it's grounds, tighten down all the couplers for the FMIC, finish the radiator support, fabricate new upper and lower FMIC brackets, so on... One step at a time no rush, it's not like this is the first time the cars run, lol although some people have been treating it as so it's funny, guess that's what happens when you don't DD a car.

Pictures. Grinding down the welds on the bracket, painting, mounting, etc...
