You sir are too good at this!

Haha thanks guys!


And honestly, most of the time, I feel I am flying by the seat of my pants on most of this stuff. If it turns out nice, happy chance!

She's cooking in the oven now.

Results in 30

Powder coated baby!

Milestone for sure.







After I eat something, I'll put them all together 100% with t-bolt clamps, and the unfortunate blue couplers for now. Exciting!

Damn edit wasn't available......

The blue couplers aren't THAT bad. The piping looks sick though. Give us an eta on the first start sir.

Yeah, they'd look millions of times better in black though. But I need a running car before I justify that purely aesthetic purchase.

Mechanical things left to do:

-Purchase and install Greddy RZ Blow off valve
-Install oil cooler (ordered, but waiting on a back ordered thermostatic valve)
-Finish up my thermostat housing (bolt it in place with new gaskets and a 160 degree thermostat)

Megasquirt stuff left to do:

-Purchase MSII V3.57/relay board/stim board/ gm sensors
-LC-1 Wideband install
-Make a wiring harness to power the relay board.


A bit of stuff...but man the list is getting shorter!
