No one cares about those lame cabinets in that walk-in closet that you keep calling a garage. LOL!

Good progress though bro.....still waiting for powdercoat on the valve cover and intercooler piping......

although mine looks like crap right now, putting the fusebox and eps in the fender really clears out a ton of room. i moved my battery to the trunk so that helps a bit too, but at least you have a small battery.

I agree. I wish the fittings were spaced 1/2" further apart on the catch can. I may move the battery to the trunk eventually (when it's a 'track only' car)

Thanks. Why don't you like SS lines?

The lines are running through the hole in the frame where the washer bottle used to reside (using a grommet on the hole to protect the wiring)

Ha. I finished the tuck, but will likely relocate the fusebox (under the dash, instead of in the fender). Ordered more wire (12/18/8 gauge).

that was quick with the tuck! i didnt have much time when i did it. had to do it an hour here and there. tucking the drivers side is a bit harder though.

Definitely. This was more of a 'proof of concept' (how to mount the fan/oil pump relays). I've decided to delete the splash guards, so I'll be relocating the fuse box accordingly.

I don't know if that catch can setup will work properly. I have same exact setup and when I have the lines connected, I get excessive smoking from exhaust and its blue "oil" I talked with precision and they said its evac setup related. I took the lines off and ran "open valve cover" and smoke damn near stopped.
