    I just installed my oil catch can. Real Pita, due to space restrictions but came out pretty good over all. The blocked off pipe to the left of the air filter is my intercooler tubing.

    So, after 70k I'm starting to get a rattle out of my transmission. It sounds like it's an input shaft bearing starting to go. Clutch still feels good as well as the transmission shifting nice and smooth. Noise only happens at idle with the car in neutral. As soon as I depress the clutch pedal, the noise stops. Sounds like a chain rattle. Looks like I may be replacing the clutch and the bearing at the same time....really a let down as this is only at 70k and I don't think installing a turbo on the car without doing these things first would be wise.

    They break super easy. I had the same happen. It's easier to remove the whole arm and change the wiper. There is a plastic cover that covers the nut holding it to the motor. Remove the cover, the nut, and then pull the arm with a slight rocking motion and it will pull off.

    Hood Vent

    thismarks replied to thismarks's topic in Exterior

    Finished the vent install today. Really happy with how it turned out. Went from a huge dent to a functional heat draw vent. I imagine it will help with the heat from the turbo when it gets put in this summer. Oh! added the custom front lip as well!

    Hood Vent

    thismarks replied to thismarks's topic in Exterior

    Almost done! I have to make some bracing for the vent just in case the adhesive isn't enough with the heat. Also looking to add some mesh under the vent to prevent any debris from entering the engine bay through the vent.

    Hood Vent

    The hood pins were not too bad to install and fairly inexpensive. I also got the hole for the vent fully cut out and painted the edges of all the cutouts to prevent rust. i removed the hood latch assembly after to store it just in case I wanted to return to a stock hood.

    So the hood latch aligned and locked, unfortunately the hood is now so light it is incredibly hard to get the latch spring to lock. So... I'm installing a set of hood pins and removing the latch hook and frame.

    Updates... Still working on it. Need to make a new latch brace if I want to keep the stock latch. I could go with hood pins but I'd rather not.
