    Getting Close- Pray for me...

    Had a great weekend working on the car:

    • Motor is in and torqued (although I tore out a shitty set of threads from the tranny cash while trying to torque it - have to fix that).
    • exhaust is in torqued
    • Accessory(s) is installed an torqued
    • Charge harness is fully installed, tested, and operational. Starter get trigger.
    • Coolant system is 100% plumed, filled with distilled water, and not leaking.
    • Manifold has the correct holes plugged, and a fitting welded to the water neck for the SPA temp sensor.

    Fancy rare earth magnetic drain plugs from China come ???????

    Oils come Monday from Amsoil
    Air intake comes tuesday
    Oil lines to finish my oil system come wednesday
    ??????? Thursday
    Dyno appointment on Friday to put in a base tune
    500 miles of driving next weekend!!!!!!
    Real tune
    Real fun begins.

    This is all best case scenario... We'll see what happens.

    Not a lot, I've been rushing to work on it when I have time, so I've not gotten the camera out too many times. I'll get lots of pics and video when it makes it on the dyno.

    California DMV threw a significant 'headwind' at me and will only give me one day to drive the car on the street until I can finish a brake and light inspection. So now I have to get that all done on Friday as well. Sad face.

    ECU is alive and I can talk to it! Need to wire about 8 more wires, put in plugs, oil, tranny fluid, oil temp sensor, adjust throttle cable, and then I'm ready to fire it.

    Getting really close...
