Prime example of a project that is never finished, great work. My favorite part is the engine bay looks photoshopped

[JayRome]

finally getting to enjoy driving this around to meets and just anywhere really...

2200cc injectors idle like stock on e85


Also found out my fuel cell is fairly big... E85, tune is average, did 135km and gauge says i used just under 1/4 tank (also cruise control helps)

Nice, that shot from the rear (with the curious fellow) is nice, still love that widebody you did.

 

[JayRome]

Its been a while...

BOV moved right next to the Throttle, much sharper response through the gears..

 

[Techn0Nut1996]

What an awesome build!! Thanks for such an extensive thread, made for a fun read at work!

 

[Ludachris]

Now that's some heat shielding! Well done Jay!

 

[JayRome]

Cheers gents!

 

[Jamesberry2382]

Super inspiring thread. Those are some awesome skills you have.

 

[JayRome]

I somehow had a warehouse all to my self.... decided to do a small photo shoot..

 

[Techn0Nut1996]

Hell yea, awesome pictures!!

 

[BLACK'98DSM]

I've never seen one of those in person. That's a clean car.

Its been a while... small update:

Old gauge setup:

New gauges Innovate and Autometer

Flex fuel sensor for Gauge and future flex tuning

RPM gauge adaptor: Previously running stock vr4/dsm original ignition system with dummy load to get my RPM gauge to work with Evo7 ecu with COP, but now have figured out simple electronics to work without needing other parts. And it will fit in a relay case.
Stock ignition:

Test:

Final product:
