the dye is called idye and idye poly that were mixed 50/50. I picked a few colors and made my own color, but they do have red. If you do red, do not keep the carpet for more than 15-30 min, cuz it gets way to dark......dont ask how i know
here's a little update.

Another step closer to finish it.
Head is torqued down and I dropped off the oil pan to have a 12AN fitting welded to it. It should be soon ready to install it. I still need front brake hard lines. I got them form the junkyard, but it seems like i misplaced them. IDK what the freak happened to them.

Big THANKS to Spdracr for doing all the powder coating for me.........I still have a bit more left, Alex.....:)
The interior is starting to look neat I guess.

I believe I found out why my drive shaft wouldnt line up. You can see the way the rear carrier bearing, between the middle and rear pieces, keeps both pieces lined up making them act as one solid and not allowing any flex.

And here are a couple of pics of the same section actually flexing. I'd guess it was an error by the driveshop when they assembled it.

Looks good! Cruel Summer material!!
Getting closer every day. I plan on dropping the motor in a week and honestly i cant wait. I still have to the front brake lines and the lines from master cyl to prop valve.

Working in the snow, oh my! In for updates, loving the interior!
That interior is looking awesome!
Holy crap those parts look awesome installed on the engine!! Motor mount needs to be done too!!
Looking good nice to see awd swaps coming about. Hope it looks good as the red on when it done.
http://i1006.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1725da7d.jpg
Oh is that another AWD coming soon....oh crap!!!??
Dear lord look at that rust
Haha nice, MKO I couldn't go through this swap again. I was wondering what you had in store for your exhaust setup, I've fabbed one up to be able to get to a shop but haven't found one yet willing to do the work without the cat :( ...
Hey man, i have it all for the exhaust just waiting to have the engine and trans in to start fitting, cutting and welding.
Its full 3'' with a cat, one 30'' glasspack and a muffler. They are all different brand tho.
Quick update: There's a car on jackstands in the garage so i cant put mine in. Im ready to drop the engine in, hopefully sometime next week I'll have it done.

Big Thanks to Spdracr for doing his magic again.
I really like your interior that came out really nice and clean!
Purple flows good with the red.
Damn that's vicious!
I noticed you didn't put a new hydraulic tensioner on it,how come?You might not want to let it go to long with that that one before you change it.
It looks much better than brand new, built for the long haul love the kevlar and all the other goodies.
I am loving this build. I've learned a lot about 7g just from reading this build. Keep up the good work.
Aww snap!
nice work, you gonna be running stock motor mounts?
Well they are filled with liquid urethane with 80A hardner. I hope it isnt nearly as bad as the Prothane inserts. I really hate the vibration from them, plus im trying to have a comfortable DD thats why i didnt go with coilovers too.
gotcha, one thing that will fix the idle vibration for the prothanes is bumping the idle 1-200 rpm, makes them almost completely stop vibrating your dash apart
Did that long ago, the thing vibrates while i drive too. I really am sick of it. I saw a picture of prothane mounts with holes drilled in them.

I just found out my shifter cables dont work with the AWD trans.The cable, that moves back and forth for going into gears, isnt doing its job somehow. Im gonna look into it tomorrow.
My red G inhaled some water and it was down this morning, just to find out one of my ignition coils was arcing making the engine sputter. I got it fixed in a second.
I installed the entire drivetrain on the green; just came back from installing the drive shaft which was a complete PITA. Ill be working on the harness tomorrow - shorting wires and tucking them away; Should be trying to start the car sometime next week and then start on the exhaust.
Can you tell I had the harness installed?! She is in and she is shorter and partially tuck.

I'll be installing the fuel pump and ecu tomorrow and hopefully she will start soon.
Glad to see you're making progress. The harness looks good.
Why do you have an AN fitting on your exhaust manifold? Also, why so many clashing colors in the engine bay? You spent all that time making the interior so nice and it looks like an ADD painter went to town under the hood.
One comment on function you may not want either but putting a 90 elbow at the radiator entrance will seriously harm water flow. I'd strongly encourage changing that back to a straight inlet or a 45 deg. inlet.
How come no one else wants to try speed dnesity with me??
Looking good btw
I've been runing SD since I built my car. DOHCStunnr was running in on his 7G too until he sold it and the new owner totaled it.Quote:

I'll consider your advice on the rad fitting.
Nah, more the combination of red, purple, black and blue. Just too much going on. In my opinion a single accent color works better.
Thanks for considering my advice on the radiator. I am still curious as to why you have an AN fitting coming off the exhaust manifold. What is it for? Depending on what alloy it is the aluminum might melt once your manifold is hot.
Edit: It was just sitting there in the photo and not actually attached, wasn't it? It looks like that is the fitting for your radiator. I'm a dork.
Yeah thats the rad fitting.
Once i put the t-belt covers the blue will be gone, and I've had the red hoses ready for the red G, but im a bit tight on funds so they are going here
Get it done. I'm ready to see this beast throw down.

Just found these pics of GST wheels with 225/55/16. Purpose is to have a comfortable and yet good gripping DD.
