    Again, small victory! Got a severely leaking axle seal replaced. Also the distributor slipped retarding my timing, fixed that! So the gets is back in action!


    Also picked up some parts for the gt4 conversion, here's the center diff/transfer carrier.


    More goodies as well but I am going to hold off on posting those till they are on the car.

        Will be posting updates this week. Got some maintenance parts coming, installed some beefy wires and got rid of my high rpm misfire.

        Also, put some money down on some seriously baller gt4 parts.

          So, as some of you know, I have been working primarily in Kenai, ak since January. One week at home is not enough time to get much of anything done but I have been driving the gtx regularly when I am home. Also, still hoarding parts like crazy.

          I believe Jim is going to start a build thread for the gt4 parts when he gets to them in the mean time here are some cool parts
          And some pictures I meant to post

          Ferdi made intake flange


          Gtae bumper


          Got this cool turbotek log mani, t3 flange. May run it and do a twin scroll mani later



          But I also picked up his ss flange with tapper ports to build a proper twin scroll with.




          Also sitting flush with arp hardware lol( duplicates are for a rainy day)


          And I should have these in a week or so


          I also picked up some USDM side skirts but haven't taken a picture yet. Lost out on a bid for some jdm skirts last week I was pretty bummed about.

          If I think of more stuff while I am up in Alaska I will try to post.

          I'm on the look out for a non-us rear bumper, possibly center garnish( depends on the bumper), jdm side skirts, need to pick up a be oil pump and get ferdi some manifold details and a throttle body.
