Re: 97 gsx build

So after taking it for the first test drive I drove around the block and came back to find that I had lost a good amount of oil during the short drive. Jacked it up and noticed that one of the return line to turbo bolts was loose and had a chip in the threads which wouldn't allow it to get tighter when attempting to thread it in. Went and picked up a new bolt and got her tight and now no more leak from the return line. Since last night I have probably put about 30 miles on it and the car feels great. Actually, the car has never felt better! I am loving the stiffness of the 2900 pp!

Now I need to put some miles on the new disc and break it in. Also, I am going to install my oil pressure gauge in the cigarette lighter location tomorrow. It's nice to have a working/drive-able car again
