    it's quite simple, just take the oil pan from the stock a6 engine and swap it over to the z6.

    Can't wait for the progress on this project, Looking awesome so far! Well done.
  • Great work so far man. I've been wanting to make a mini garage like you have,pepboys sells something like that for cheap. I cant wait to see further progress. Im on a tight budget so i know how you feel when u say "after THREE months" lol, Nothing like beats while workin on the car though!

    Nice progession, hey Radio Raccoon how much of the sound deadning did you end up buying to cover what you did??

    Nice Garage.. HAHA... It gets the job done though... Im sorry if I didnt catch it, but what company is that sound deadning..?
  • ^^^^^^^^^^ The brand of the sound deadner is Audio Technix, its pretty cheap and its made of butyl rubber. From the reviews i read, it sticks real well in the summer and doesn't stink like asphalt when it gets hot.
  • Here are some more pics, i got the block all buttoned up, eveything is together. ill upload those pics later. but for now ill show you what i have

    I went with the 84 mm itr spec ycp pistons for my b20 vtec build, I cant wait to see how they hold up to boost no one says anything good about that company. But i tend not to listen to all the haters love how this builds going man keep it up
