That looks like someone colour stained that  steering wheel, there will be a deep mahogany red under that.

the steering wheel will sand down easily - work your way up to 500 grit then a furniture oil finish (i used lemon oil) will rub in and it will look fantastic and feel even better. even though it's not real wood, it has a great feel and will actually take a little oil nicely. some folks use heavy clear coats, but they feel a little "plastic-like" and you have to deal w/chips & flakes over time.

Thanks Rossiz,

I decided to change directions with the build and drop in my 240's L28ET setup. There's the bottom end installed, head is getting some new seals.

Small update.  Red on red! Coming along slowly.

Ordered a an ATI pulley. In other news, the valve cover came back from 'the guy at work'. #beautiful. 

Test fit of the Holset. Also bought a Jegs wastegate for it. Anodized oil cap wont be a keeper (in case anyone was wondering), just one I had lying around.

Thread probably belongs on Hybridz at this point, but anyway, the intake is on with 550 RC injectors.

Wow looks fast where does the a l28et get oil for the turbo from? Does it require an oil cooler??

Not a lot to report, some inter cooler piping, LS coil packs, etc. Definitely planning on stripping the red (Corvette) paint and taking it back to its original sky blue. But it will be awhile before that happens.

Looks good. I like the red. Surprised your running the IC piping behind the rad. Are you going to run an AIT? Curious what your temps end up?

Small updates, trying life with the custom intake, a new 90A alternator and a custom accelerator cable. She's almost ready to run, had some varnish in the fuel tank that needed scrubbing. Not running an oil cooler just yet.  

Who makes that intake ? Thought it looked good with the 42 intake on there. Stock engine management?
