Nice write-up Harv! Where did you get your braided SS lines from?

I just bought 1G FWD DSM brake lines. I was lucky and saw Buschur Racing had a set on ebay for $75 shipped.

89mirageman makes them too. PM him if Harvey is short on spare time to make you a set.

I received a PM from Chris stating you need a set of 1/2" brackets made. I have no problem getting them made for you. Let me get a quote on them and I will get back to you. I don't remember what they cost.

I finally decided to post an update. I have been daily driving this thing for awhile now and have figured a few things out. One thing for sure is I am going to swap out my DSMLinkV3 for my AEM EMS and run speed density. I understand I can with V3 but I already have all the AEM stuff. The second thing is I am going to AWD the car. I have had opportunities happen that I cannot pass up which forces me in this direction. I am definitely not complaining I plan on starting it next summer towards the end of summer after landscaping my yard. I will definitely document what I do since I will be in a better financial situation for this part of the build. More to follow....

With the soon addition to the car of an AWD rear end the brake setup I currently have on the car will be for sale. It will include the rear hubs, brake caliper brackets, brake calipers, pads and e-brake cable brackets. I am just putting this out there in case someone wants to call dibs.

Update: 03/06/2012

As with a lot of us our plans change from time to time and I am of no exception. Before winter started I had hoped to get all of the items required to make my colt AWD. I did accumulate most of the items required for this project but something happened. I was bit by the Home Theater bug around new years. With that said I have spent a large amount of money on home theater equipment. I still plan on making the colt AWD but not until this coming winter. I do have plans for upgrades for this year and have already started the removal of old items. Here is a list of upgrades:

- FP Exhaust Manifold
- FP 68HTA
- Beyond Redline SM Intake Manifold-This intake manifold has proven insane gains over the Magnus. The car used was a 2g with a 2.3L using a GT4088R. At 30psi at the same AFR of 11.3 using LESS fuel the car made 100hp and 75ft/lbs more over the Magnus.
- Power steering rack
- Tubular O2 housing with Tial 35mm wastegate (already have from talon)
- 3" exhaust
- Softer coilover springs
- AEM EMS
- Tial BOV

I am pretty sure the car is going to haul and be a really funny summer daily driver.

I will post pictures throughout the process.

Here are some pictures of the upgraded parts I will be installing. I had hoped to have made more progress but work has been crazy.

Beyond Redline Intake Manifold. This thing is awesome:









Here are some fabrication parts. I am going to run a secondary fuel system so the 4 tubes are injector bungs that are going to be welded to the runners of the BR intake manifold. The 4 -10 weldons are for a catchcan I need to build yet. And the other fitting is an evac scavenger:



Tial BOV to be added:



Self explanatory:





Finally the FP 68HTA I picked up:

Started the tear down for the AWD conversion yesterday. I will take pictures today as I go, hopefully the Kroil creaped into the threads on the bolts for the rear end and subframe last night.
