Shoot me a message, you're welcome to stop by. I'm right off 75. Like less than 5 min off exit 156

Started stripping the old fuel system off the car. Hoping to have the 5 gallon cell in by the weekend.

Made a drain using the lowest profile 90 I could find. Its definitely going to be a gamble if its gonna drain properly. Hoping the vacuum pump helps pull it.

Got the 5 gallon cell all mounted, trans cooler moved and tucked up out of the way of the wheelie bars, sheet metal patched and a quick coat of paint. Moved co2 bottle to trunk to try and get more weight back there. Put the primary injectors in the rails. Also measured for the fuel pump cable, will be needing a 12 ft one

Removed turbo and used copper rtv to seal it up, took a bit of work to get it all lined back up but it went. After a heat cycle it will all settle and be easier to get off/on for sure.

A buddy gave me a brand new sealed 5 gallon pale of VP M1. Should be enough for initial startup.

Spent the day yesterday working on wiring. Got the wiring board I made mounted. Grommets and bulkheads installed in firewall. Cable made from grommet to starter. Engine harness is 100% installed. Boost leash is plumbed.

Just waiting on the rest of the fittings/lines to plumb the fuel system. Also need to pick up some more battery cable. This factory cable is like 1/0 and heavy af. Gonna go with a 2 or 4 gauge welding wire(have that in my other cars without issue).

Edit- spent a few more hours today working on wiring. Just need to wire up my dash buttons, bump box, lights, and battery cables yet and its 100% wired.

Filled the coolant system with water and it leaks behind the motor plate, out of the water pump holes. Have gaskets behind and in front of the plate. Will have to take that off and see what the deal is.

Ordered a fireade 20lb fire suppression system. Not quite what I wanted to spend money on right now but I can't put a price tag on the car. I'm assuming this will add 30lbs or so back into the car as well

Waterman cable showed up. Really impressed with how flexible this thing is. Have to strap it up yet but gonna fall perfectly behind the cell.

Rest of the fuel fittings and line showed up today. Made all the fuel rail/regulator lines. Just need to run feed/return/vent lines and that's done.

Secondary injectors were barely short, picked up a set of 10mm spacers from vs racing.

This pile is finally starting to come together again. Hang in there a little while longer guys

Made another big purchase for the car. These are front coilovers specd by viscious performance/afterworks. The front springs are actually 125lb. 3-4 week lead time on them.

Got what I believe is the rest of the stuff I need for the car ordered as well

Mounted the fuel pump cable and mounted the pump. Started making battery cables and running them to the front of the car. Finished plumbing the boost leash, bent and installed the egt sensors, installed the second set of injectors with the new fore innovations 10mm spacers, installed plugs and wires.

Installed some battery charging lugs on the back bumper as well. Also got around to dropping the transmission pan and installing the lokar locking dipstick.

Got my egt bulkhead installed and wired them all. Got the fuel pump cable 100% done. Started making fuel lines to the rail. Got the bump box and fire system in the mail as well.

Gonna drop driveshaft off next week to be shortened, and pick up a drum of meth as well. Looking like I'll get to fire it next week and schedule tuning
