It was a long anticipated, now just need to take that first drive!

The first startup and maiden drive are nerve-wracking, good luck!

I'm sure you have sorted this out by now, but I used a 25 pump and did not have to modify anything when I put the 26 in my s13. Sweet build!

Small update:

I should be finishing my spring class on wednesday. This means I will have a great amount of time to work on my car!

So after about six harassing phone calls to autodream the other day I finally got my oil cooler/filter relocator sandwich plate back! here's some pics



Also driveshaft came in from Mckinney motorsports



Also got a new ebrake cable for the passenger side!


Pics of engine fitment. Its still pretty tight but it definitely is sitting lower and straighter!

Coming together nicely, good work!
