Well....I have another thermostat housing coming in the mail. Let's just say, the attempt to fix my leak didn't go so well...It's absolutely ridiculous how many times I've failed at modifying one measly housing; don't want to talk about it.




Meanwhile....


I wanted to finally mount my rear lower control arms - so I did. I can't wait to detail under the car. It is so dirty.




Grimey old bolts.



A quick sandblast

And some powder thrown at them.



Bushings!




Where they belong.

Ugh. Wheels are so dirty.







I still need to mount the E-Brake cable, then the braking system is potentially ready for a bleed attempt.


Also, tomorrow is the day I hopefully make my dash. That will seriously light a fire under me, should it turn out successfully. Wish me luck.


More to come.

been a while since i looked at this thread.
the progress is astounding. your attention to detail is lethal, sandblast and powder coat all the way to the bolts.
no this is not a poem lol.
i wish you best of luck with MS tuning, i remember when we started my budys honda after adding a turbo. so many hours of learning how to use the software and tuning it.
it all pays off in the end, keep it up andy.

While i've never tuned a MS if you have any general tuning questions feel free to pm me and we can bounce ideas off of each other.

i'm tuning a huge cam ls1 right now

I really appreciate that. Truly kind words. Thank you, my friend. Thank you very much.






The motor is sort of ripped apart currently - fixing a couple leaks, waiting for parts, etc... But yeah, I'd love to have more people to toss ideas, or give me some of their own. Thanks.

That car sounded pretty damn good for a lean idle. Can't wait to see more.






Well more of the same.


The offenders: Emergency brake cable pivot lever thing(s)

Powduh



A little reference to what the parts actually do.

And I got a new gauge that will come into play later on. My current setup leaves much to be desired. I'll explain more later.




Tomorrow is another day.

This evening was dedicated to emergency brake cable installation.




Remounted the components.
