I recieved them about 2 weeks ago, but still waiting on the coilovers which are supposely about 2 weeks till shipping. I can take a picture of the uninstalled parts on Thursday if you want. Just recieved the 16 piece control arm bushing kit package today with the Front Trailing Arm Street Spherical bearings. Will probably wait and install everything at once, then align.

Blue & 2010 - Thanks alot for the information. I am going to finish mine up on Thursday. One of my friends works at Subaru and can get me one pretty quick. I actually checked the chevy dealership and they had one in stock from an older chevy truck. It looked like the one in the picture and the hose attaches at the bottom. I have a couple options to get it done and I appreciate the write-up and pictures.

Here are a few pictures of newly up-graded dyno building at LPE.

Damn that looks good Paul - nice work!!

Thanks Speed we framed a new steel stud wall around the exterior, hung new drywall, painted it and installed a new drywall acoustic ceiling. Oh and we also install a new epoxy floor coating with different colored flecs. Soon we will be painting some stripes.

We got lucky on our reservoirs, since we ordered them back in December or January before all the backorder. It still took a while, but at least we got them. Attachment 121082

Nice picture! BTW, you can shrink your pictures by opening them using "Paint" program, click "Image", then "Resize/Skew", save with a different name like "Engine 25 percent.jpg". Alot of mine are really huge, so I usually reduce to 25 or 35%. Then words won't go off the screen.

I would go with the RBF600. I questioned which fluid before too, and the Motul RBF600 seemed to have better overall mix of wet and dry boiling points and longevity from what I recall. Some other racing fluids have to be changed more often than normal. Plus if the ATF blue was used in the brake system, I was told it was a dead giveaway being actual blue color, to void factory warranty on entire brake and ABS system. ..... just found link with reference #s for dry and wet boiling points.

Any new 1/4 mile times for RS, or is he waiting for his cars playmate to leave the paint shop?

Thanks for the brake fluid info. I'm planning to do my line lock this weekend and change the fluid then. I can shrink the pctures easy on my work computer, but at home I haven't figured it out yet, sorry. Actually we both only went to the track that one time, and the weather has sucked every weekend since! This weekend there is a track event with the camaro 5 locals at the motor speedway track which is round/road course track, but we are torn between going to this event or our cabin. I'm just looking forward to testing, refining my 1/8, 1/4 times, launches with the new aeroforce gauges. My painted parts are done in the next couple days, and then more driving fun!

Which line locks did you go with?
.....570LPE?
Was wondering about installing them or lightly braking on DRs...

The line lock is SJM Motorsports. I don't know from a performance standpoint if they will make much difference with the DR's, but if you are doing big burnouts, I think it's better on the clutch.

I go with 2nd gear... I skip 1st on the burnout..

No line lock for me. I wear my tires out just fine without one...

Hey guys, just got my new wheels on. I still have to make a new bracket to relocate the emergency brake cable. The cable is hitting the tire pressure sensor valve stem for some reason.
I've dropped the front end of the car, and still debating on whether or not to lower the rear. I kind of like the raked stance.
What do you guys think??
Thought I'd photoshop some advertising for my store into the pictures for a shamless plug.

I'm sure we could! We did a project in Nogales, AZ about a year ago.

Stratman that looks really cool! I almost left mine that way. My father used to be a guitar collector he had loads of vintage strats, telecasters and old fender amps.
