Default My current project...

Here are some pics of Robby's ProCharged 99' FRC I am working on... We are installing Cross Drilled Rotors, Z06 Calipers, Bilstien Sport Shocks, Z51 Sway Bars and a few other things..

Side note: Not a fan of the air filter location on the procharger setup... Not very easy to remove to clean, espcially for the enthusiast..

More pics to come...

I just R&R'ed a radiator to install a Dewitts in a A&A Procharged car. Everything is very tight.

Thanks for keeping everything oiled up. The airfilter, trannyfluid and yourself.

I can imagine... with the stock procharger setup, it looks like it would be next to impossible...

dont forget the piaa fog light too and searching for 20min for a damn screw. Johnny or Tommy figured out that its easier to pull the fans from the bottom.

I am very happy with it.. so much nicer to stand and do brake and suspension work... I bought a creeper seat from Sam's Club for like 30$ and you can sit under the car while working on it... and that isn't with the lift full height because the garage door opener is in the way of going higher... And for the "waxers" doing the wheels, rocker panels underside of the car.. it's much nicer then having to kneel, sit ect to clean these portions of the car..
