and were you just driving around with nothing before the maf?

intake er no?

It's from the compund I use when I was wet sanding, I just need to buff it out a little more to take the swirls out. And yes I was driving around with no exhaust just for test drive, I will have a exhaust put on this week. For the intake I have one, just didn't put it on for the quick test drive.

What an a amazing project. Much respect. The car looks beautiful, the engine swap is great; I love everything about the car. What's next?

**FBodyBoy** · 10-09-2007, 09:21 AM

I'm done for now. There really isn't much left to do except for like some upgrades (Exhaust, headers, pullys, etc...).

Awesome thread.. it was great watching the progress.

Word. I didn't mean to say it NEEDS anything else, but you seem like the kind of guy that always has a trick (project) up his sleeve

**NeonStatus** · 10-14-2007, 12:36 AM

Awesome job on this whole process! Its like a new (pre-owned) car. You seem like a very motivated person to get this project done in the time you did.

Here is the finish product pictures of my car, the day after the car show. Also I added links at the end of this post of videos of my exhaust and one other. Enjoy!

This picture was taken in 5th gear. (Max speed: probably 100-110mph due to 4.44 diff ratio)

why is the check light on? the only check light i got was the transmission light bc the manual cluster i guess doesnt have a transmission light and the auto 1 does. car looks great! a job well done to say the least

**TPowerdinNY** · 10-14-2007, 01:24 PM

car came out great. very nice job, car looks super clean.

a few things u should consider:
clean up that trunk. paint ur valve cover & center console to tie the MB color in some more
