    Update on my coupe

    I had a thread on my coupe rebuild project..but it seems to have gotten deleted somehow. So anyway..here are a few update pictures.

    Engine bay is all finished with everything hooked up. I still have to ziptie a few things in place and wire loop some stuff.




    Procomp mechanical water and tranny temp gauges, digital nitrous pressure gauge, CD player, Hurst quartstick shifter installed.


    Driver's view showing the tach/wideband guage,removable steering wheel w/ transbrake button, and fuel/oil pressure gauges on the cowl.


    New carpet, electronics board.


    Fuel cell, nitrous bottle mounts/line/filter/cutoff valve, battery cutoff switch.



    Got the hood on...even if it is dirty.


    I still need to have Glassman (Jason) come out an replace the windshield and pull my rear glass so Dedpedal (Kevin) can retint it. That will also let me finish up the rear firewall/package shelf so that I can get it covered with carpet. I hope to have it on the dyno at CS getting tuned before the end of the month. I'm gonna use a SCT flip chip with a 93 pump gas and E85 tune. Once the bugs get worked out...then the bottle will bet opened up. I'm really wanting to try running nitrous with E85.

    I think its time to go to Dick's and buy some new wrist bands. He he. Glad to see it is time to kick some ass. Let me know when you go to the dyno I'd like to ride up and watch.

    Probably the first available T&T after it hits the dyno. Which reminds me, I need to get my antiroll bar links welded up before that.

    The wrist bands work pretty good at keeping oil from dripping out of the breathers. I'll let ya know when it gets scheduled to go on the dyno at CS.

    That would be a Keyrock/Dedpedal engineering product...aka. home fabricated. I think the bottom piece is from a early 80's datsun 4 banger..rest was from scrap metal pieces using some help from a sawzaw and hammer.

    I made it...just got some 1" wide x ~1/8" thick aluminum stock for the bracket that bolts the fan to the radiator, just used a piece of sheet aluminum for the fan gaurd. Jigsaw, hammer, vice, edge of a workbench is all it took.
