herecomesboost build thread
Thanks Matt. I'd like to go with a manifold that doesn't require relocating my oil filter assembly (I'll be ditching the AC and relocating the fusebox shortly though). As for the turbo, I'll probably go with another Borg; they're great turbos. Going with something smaller than the s366 this time.
Thanks! I'll update the OP when I get started on LotusTalk. Currently, I've just begun accumulating parts. Haven't torn into the car thus far since it's perfect driving weather in our area.
Thanks! Bad timing on my part I guess. Kings Performance/Amer committed to buying the car when it was still in storage. After moving into the new house/moving the car out of storage, I kind of wanted to keep it. Which LS swap are you working on? This will be the second kid; my son is now 3! I'll try to recreate my avatar when I order the new turbo lol.
Oh and congrats on your daughter as well. Yeah I have it. Its been sitting for a long time. I got it back from the shop after getting into it with them. They ruined the car so it will need a lot of work to get it back together. I am looking to pick up a used built block and swap it in, hopefully this summer. I have a ton of things to fix on her.

Yeah its easy to get very nostalgic and remorseful as you watch it get loaded on the trailer and hauled away. I'm doing a straight street build LS1. Full AC/heat, ABS, as comfy as possible. Keeping it mild so I still enjoy driving it, but it will still keep me entertained for a Saturday autox here and there. I had my first kid last month, so I know your pain of attempting car work during this time, lol.
I will never paint it/fix the aesthetic issues lol
