Dude, where in Fort Lauderdale are you?? I've never seen this car around.

 

You might have seen pics of it when I sell parts on craigs but this car hasn't left my block in the 8 months that I've owned it.

 

and I think I was in the car in its farthest ever voyage from your garage.. all of like 2 blocks hah

 

But I do gotta say this car has come such a long way since then . this my friend is your masterpiece so far .

 

The latest parts acquisition

 

Got this little guy for the ast delete.

 

Since today is payday I got to watch my money disappear again. I ordered my gauges (wide band, coolant temp, and boost) all in digital blue, and I ordered a Hallman manual boost controller since I can't get the profec b right now.

I still need fluids, spark plugs, radiator hoses and some couplers to finish the intercooler setup.

 

Pics More pics and more pics or it didnt happen!

 

Lol the parts arent here yet.

 

I got to spend some time this evening working on the v mount setup. The hot side pipe was close but not close enough. I ended uo chopping the inlet pipe an inch from the core and using some spare piping to get this.




Ignore the duct tape. Its all I've got until monday when I get back to work.

 

Please don't take this in a bad way, I don't trust them the plastic nipple tends to crack.
I use the metal one without the nipple. BTY you are doing a VERY good job!

 

I'm using this on my car, but I bought new from Mazda , I paid like 28.00 for it, but I wouldn't use a used one. You can also use the metal one and drill and tap a 1/8 npt nipple.

 

Thanks guys. The piece looks pretty good to me but I will be tapping my metal one eventually. I just needed this one to get the car started and to see how far down I needed to drill the hole. If it's not drilled in the exact percect spot the coolant won't drain when the cap opens so better safe than sorry I guess.

 

I just use the nipple on the housing below the cap when I delete the AST.

 

That also works.

 

Got my gauges today.

 

Holy short intercooler piping Batman! Nice work.

 

 

Damn man every time I look at your motor and look at mine I think "SIMPLIFY " ... hah

 

Coming along so nicely well done!

 

where is the new part! that needs to get shown . that thing is nice!

 

I'm letting a couple of updates accumulate. I figured I'd do one big update when I get her started.

 

ohh sneaky , haha I hope to be there when you do

 

...Rotor tease.

 

Lol don't worry, I'll put out soon.
