Flash's Summer Build Thread

[Flash]

Here are some updated pictures of today. Not much progress as I have been extremely busy now that I'm back at school. I mounted the Stack water temp sensor and ran the wire. I then discovered my dumbass messed up running my fuel pressure wire.
The wires are all labeled on the Stack wiring loom.
Fuel Pressure= A
Fuel Level= F

I ran the Fuel Level wire to the fuel pressure sensor. I spent 20 minutes looking for the fuel level wire when I was ready to run it to my tank, I was completely stumped and thought Stack sent me the wrong wire loom. Because Stack conveniently labels all the wires, I quickly found my mistake. I gave up after I found my mistake, I wasn't in the mood to re-run a wire when I had Finance homework to do (real hoot too!).

Still need to finish wiring.

Heated the neck up, pulled the steel fitting out, rethreaded for 12x1.5 and stuck a -6 cap on it. I didn't have access to NPT taps. Much better than a ghetto black rubber cap that's hose clamped on. I must point out the surface of the water neck. I massaged the metal a bit and took out any casting marks.

Here is what I started with.

Haven't updated for a while, because I barely get 2 hours a week to touch my car. I finished mounting the Stack. I pushed hard last night and early this morning to get my car started. I tried starting my car today and found a coolant leak on the fitting I put on the block. I used sealant, a crush washer and even torqued it down, but it just barely leaks. So the turbo must come off again so I can fix it.
I'm happy with the mount I made, tried to make it as OEM looking as possible.
Let me know what you think. I'm 99% sure I'm going to scrap that mount on my steering column where my turbo timer is mounted. I need a place to mount the sequential shift lights when they come.

Sparco 345. It's in their competition line. I figured I would give it a try and if I don't like it try another. It takes 5 minutes to swap out. Installing the adapter was easy.

What happened to the Lap 5 wheel? Just got tired of it? Maybe I'll take it off your hands for you?

I was just thinking the same thing.

I gave it to a friend. He was building up his car and was missing a steering wheel.

It has been well worth the money. I think it's better than having a million little gauges scattered around the interior.

Suede wheels looks great Flash

Thanks!
