Pretty nice car. How's it running?

Mind post up pics of how those Schroth seatbelts are hooked up?

The car runs great and gets around 30mpg.
My harnesses just go under the head rest,

and are bolted in under the back seat using the stock seatbelt buckle mounts.

Its probably not the best way. A harness bar is better, this way probably compresses your spine in an accident? tons of people run this though.
I put on some euro grills and painted the flaking chrome kindey today.
Put on the K1s for fun too. it needs to be lower. I think im getting some H&R race springs to replace these.

New sticker!

IS lip soon too

Great find! Gotta love the alpine 318is's

With the scroth you want to run the straps between the headrest posts. FYI.

thanks I love the house, I've got a 3 car garage along with the 2 car under the house.

I havent actually used the harnesses yet I just set them up for the pics, they normally lay in the back seat. Im going to make some straps like the "godfather" has in his car.

thanks for the compliments. I have off work tomorrow for my birthday(with pay

) and am pulling the intake manifold, replacing the gaskets and hoses and glass beading it. someone painted it with some spray paint that flaked off it makes the engine bay look terrible.

keep me in mind for the K1's, when you let them go. money in hand!

As previously stated I had Tuesday off for my birthday so I played with the 318 all day.
Took off the intake manifold replaces the coolant hoses and gaskets.
I glass beaded and painted the manifold and a few other peices I'm pretty happy with how the engine compartment looks as of now.
Before(plugs removed)

After

It was worth the time and effort. I think the car had a small intake leak it seems to run/idle better now. This car is too much fun.

What is glass beading?

Shocker · « **Reply #13 on:** April 12, 2007, 07:18:44 PM »

Media blasting (sand blasting), instead of using sand they use very fine ground up glass.
