Thanks. Its still not right, but hey at least I can get the car to run. I'm really looking forward to tuning.

Thanks! yeah definitely more videos to come. I'm still working on ironing out some of the last remaining gremlins from the install. Once those are worked out, and I actually start tuning it will be exciting. Now I just need a rear end (and my damn rear brakes to get here already)

its a MS2 v3.0 running 3x bip373s for a wasted spark COP setup.

I built everything but the main board from scratch. I can't believe shit actually works. hahaha.

Haha, in that video if you listen closely I did exclaim (mic was under the car)

"Yaaaas!"
"look at what I have created!"
"I have made rpms!"

right as it fired up and idled, albeit extremely rich, cause the MAP sensor was unhooked.

I have to play with my fueling a bit to get it to catch and idle smoothly on its own, at stoic.

Once it is actually idling at around 14.7. Then you'll hear a girlish cackle. I guarantee it.

it runs, but wouldn't be drivable. So that's what I'm working on currently.

Thanks

It's been a while since the last update. I've started working in the Composites shop again, so that's keeping me busy.

Finally got my rear brakes. Wilwood Powerlites (they allow use of an emergency brake cable - awesome!) and 290mm slotted rotors.

I am going to make my dash on Tuesday. So that means Wednesday, I should know if I have a workable part.

Assuming success, I ordered my Flocking kit.

Imagine, instead of the dash cap, it is nylon flocking, and the bottom half will be exposed carbon. (note: mock fit nicer console.)

And I've been dealing with a couple small leaks around the motor.

Valve cover gasket.

I'll be working more this evening. I'm STILL fighting a leaky thermostat....Hoping to quell that tonight.

I'll update with what I get accomplished.
