Had to order injectors from JJ off LR. Going with the 88# german made ones.
Turbos should have already been here, need to check tracking.

Will have my KYB monomax shocks, rotors, ball joints, and pads in tomorrow.

Gotta go pick up my transmission tube and enginge tube. (for the dipstick)
Went OEM for these 36 bucks each


As of now. I need cold side to plenum, 38mm wastegates, wastegate to exhaust piping, SCT BAF3000, intercooler pump and lines, -3An feed lines, -10an return, tap the oil pan for -3 and -10.

Then metco fuel rails are about the only other thing I need.

Nice. On the short list now. Good deal.

Working on mine too:
I just acquired an air box & elbow, H/E & bracket, I/C res & hard lines, throttle & CC cable w/ bracket.

And one freaking fantastic deal on a set of new steps from [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION]. Thanks again man!

Still need: gasket set, alternator & bracket, IAC tube, IAT2 sensor, water pump, fuel pump, I/C pump, misc hose & fittings, SC belt, L shroud w/ fan, aem wide band, fuel pressure, oil pressure gauges, pods, plugs, various bolts & HE fans.
[MENTION=52877]4x4dave[/MENTION]'s list of components has proven to be very helpful.

Gonna take a while to get the rest of this stuff. Bills are due.

I can hear that. Got paid yesterday and it all went to the credit card bill. It was a little higher than expected lol

Really toying with the idea of picking up a cheap DD. Not wanting to spend more than about 2k for it. Anyone got ideas as what to get? Got my eye on an integra right now.

I had a 89 2.3L Fox body as a DD. Paid $1700 for it, beat the living crap out if it for almost 4 years and traded it in on my 07 Ranger.
