What did you do to your VR/VS today?

[Phillbert]

they are on the list but that's all i could afford at this time lol
TBody was 10% off saved $23
Pulley Kit was $180 down to $125
So i jumped on them as i needed them anyway

Fair enough. Just keep in mind that with a blown engine keeping it cool is even more critical than an n/a motor.

Motor still not in yet hoping next weekend now. Just getting all the extras as I can on a limited budget these days.

Ordered a 82 deg Thermostat/Gasket/Seal
CAI will have to wait for another week but before driving the car once conversion is done.
Still want to add new pulleys and water pump before i drop it in

Big Brake Kit arrived today:
328mm Front Rotors/Slotted/Dimp
Calipers/Shims/Adapters...

Rear arrived last week
278mm Rear Rotors/Slotted/Dimp

The thermostat is a PITA to do on the engine in the car with the blower elbow in the way. Definitely recommend doing it before fitting engine or leave the blower off until the thermostat is done.

Just had a look at it, yep looks like a sh!t of a spot to get too even on a stand.
Looks like 3 bolts holding the blower elbow.
