I've already got the Night Shades in my desk, and the replacement plastic ready to go. Just trying to figure out a clean way of removing the stock clear plastic from the rest of the housing.
I've already melted one into oblivion lulz
Did the cobalt seats bolt right in just like the cavalier ones or was modding done to get them to fit, thanks

they do not bolt in. search, it's been documented here on how to do it (also how I did it)
pj,
I did not use the plastic cover on my set up.... Because mine is the data logger as well and there would not be any real way to putin the sd card....
I will try to post pictures tonight.... Also I did not retail as much ofo the cluster as you did, mostly because of the nitrous gauge going in there as well and with the programmable fuel gauge for another project I am doing....
You are getting some direction though.....
nite shades wont work!, I attempted to do my windshield with nite shades, one coat looked very streaky, 2nd coat helped hide the streakness, but made it impossible to see out of. Before the question arises i used nite shades becasue the windshield is lexan plexi glass, and heard rumors that tint did not work with plexi. Needless to say i waisted about 150.00 between nite shades and plexi, and had to do a new windshield. This time i tinted it, and their are some small air bubbles but looks pretty good!

I had an aluminum plate that bolted into the dash to hold it in place, but I want this to look as stock as possible. I'm curious to see what you did.
PJ,
I will be tuning the dcar tonight with the bigger turbo. I will try to take some pictures and post them.
been plotting my charge pipe routing.
I need this to have more clearance
starting machining
fast forward to done (through the magic of television)
as you can see, 3" dia. tubing tucks in very nicely now
another shot of the same
and, a random ho-it-up shot.
She is the one named Sailor-Blue
Great thinking man.. Gotta say thats pretty damn crafty..lol..Keep up the great work bro!!
Nice mill work...is there any negative to taking out that extra bracing? What's it there for, just extra strength?
Nice shot too. You can really see how low that RK lip is compared to the side skirts...damn haha
nicely done sir, I plan on doing the same to my pan this spring.
my charge pipes fit like @!#$ and hit everything, the ground included...lol

thanks!
I am a bit concerned about this.. I'm not exactly sure. I'd imagine it's just support bracing because the bottom of the pan connects to the transmission, but since the transmission has bolts around the entire circumference, the loss of the bracing shouldn't matter much (but IDK if the pan will crack now that the bracing is gone).
If it does, I plan on using a hole saw on the next one to retain as much of the ribbing as possible.
and I love that front lip! can never paint it tho... it wouldn't last long haha

thanks man!
yea, I was mocking pipes up last night and I held a 3" pipe under the car up against the pan and i was like ....."oh.. this isn't going to work at all."
the charge pipe literally would have been the lowest mechanical part of the car, and I wasn't comfortable with that.
Ya that's the situation I'm in and my charge pipes are only 2" on the hot side, I've already bottomed them out once or twice.
Boost leaks everywhere! LOL
@!#$, I wish I could edit.
My plan was to use a hole saw like you later mentioned, I'll see how it goes.
I have access to a bridge port I could do what pj did for you.
Also pj. Looks great man.

It takes some balls to mill that much out of an oil pan. Should have tried to keep a smooth radius transition where you milled it out. Sharp corners tend to be stress risers. Interested to see how this works out.
everything is amazing PJ.. looks great and im jealous!!
GOT ECOTEC?
3 inch hot side pipe? That's a little large isn't it?
approve of these updates
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...

Not at all. I only have a 57 trim and 2" cold, 3" hot side.
nice work there, like what you did with that oil pan.
