Nice dude. That sized intercooler is the same size as mine. Fills up the gap nicely

Very Nice 306... Ur build has been a long one but its nice to see it nearing completion...I like the vr4 front as well, are you going to have to cut it up to fit the intercooler?

i test fitted the bumper over the front mound and im going to have to do minamal trimming to make it fit, just for the piping to fit and it should be good other wise i can make it come down. i took my ac shit out and re routed that brake line, also i moved the support bar out of the way by heating it up and bending it in, with a flat hammer and some heat i pounded it flat.

Is there anything special about it, or you just wanted a new crank.

i want a new crank really, the problem is i have 190k on my car and the crank is out of round so its just cheaper for me to get a new one then have it machined and then get special bearings to make the old one work.

**kolio** · 06-30-2009, 12:58 AM

thats cheap, mitsu wants alot for them

**Galant306m** · 06-30-2009, 01:01 AM

yea and eagle wants like 725 for one lol, i dont have 725 bux for a new crank that really isnt going to gain me anything but the name. Plus i want to get a quafe tor my trans.

Haha that trans was cheap by the way, its out of a 1994 GS i got it for 250 from a yard has 85k on it and the vehicle was crashed.

Dang dude! I paid 150 shipped for mine. But this is coming together nicely. Make sure you replace ALL exhaust bearings before you turbo. LOL
