Maybe coolant temp sensor; I got rid of that on my POS.

GSXRJJordan · 03-04-2014, 06:34 PM

Shouldn't need a third coolant temp probe location - I'd imagine it's a port to plumb the steam port tube into. Matt does this connect to a 3/16" or 1/4" hose that goes to a barb under the throttle body?

I should have the wiring back for this thing in the next couple days so we can hear it make noise and stuff.

I'll take a picture and post it up later. It goes to something on the block I think. I was actually going to text you today but I didn't want to bug you haha.

DJPimpFlex · 03-04-2014, 07:01 PM

Here is a picture to where that goes.

Also I'm in love with the new shifter and hydro setup.

LS and MGW shifter...

You just love copying me

In all seriousness though, good choice in that shifter. Could you find the damn orange arm able to move in any direction but straight back? I was told it was adjustable but I can't get mine to fuggin adjust.

DJPimpFlex · 03-04-2014, 08:42 PM

That shifter is epic. I'm so glad I went with that since it can rotate positions.

Edit: Yea basically that allen bolt is on SUPER tight. You have to take it all the way out as it is on a square taper. I need it straight back so it doesn't hit my ebrake in first gear.

Ya, I couldn't remove the bend at all... I'll maybe hit it with a deadblow.

Get a cheater on it. I just used a deep socket and an extension. It came out eventually. It's locked in with red loctite.

Oh no, I meant I could get out the socket cap screw but I actually couldn't remove the 'bend'.

d-man478 · 03-09-2014, 01:52 PM

Been looking into that MGW shifter. Supposed to be pretty rad.

Build is looking good!

mad-ass · 03-10-2014, 05:48 PM

^MGW FTW.
Yeah..I've also had the pleasure of re-clocking the shift lever on MGW before..deff. had me "wtf" the first time doing it. LMFAO

DJPimpFlex · 03-11-2014, 03:29 PM

Reminiscing... 2006 Thunderhill. Most of this is long gone but I'm still rocking the same seat, brakes and some other random bits on this car I'm sure.

DJPimpFlex · 03-19-2014, 08:24 PM

Interior is coming together. Got my new custom dash back. Still waiting on electronics but it's looking like they should be here Friday.

mad-ass · 03-20-2014, 05:53 AM

DJPimpFlex · 03-28-2014, 08:39 PM

Well after the longest week of my life I failed. I took the last 2 days off work and spent all of it in the garage trying to get this car finished but for some reason I can't get it to start.

At least it looks good.

Got rid of this rats nest

New and improved

05subysti · 03-29-2014, 05:45 AM

Badass build. How do you like the digital dash display?

Also go through your wiring, check for power-resistance-blah blah, check for grounds. Make sure you have enough grounds as well.

Did you do all the harness yourself?

I love the cluster so far but it's hard to know without driving the car with it yet.

The harness was put together by Jeff Jordan of Jordan Innovations and after plugging in everything where it was supposed it be it fired right up!

badbob2121 · 03-30-2014, 09:35 AM

Nice! Sounds awesome dude

DJPimpFlex · 04-02-2014, 10:01 AM

Went to drive the car around the block and I'm still having problems. I need to get this shit figured out. I'm tired of canceling track days.

OBEEWON · 04-02-2014, 12:06 PM

Man. That car truck is so so so bad.

Hope you get your issues sorted. I know what its like to miss track days for trouble shooting.

conrad_s13.5 · 04-04-2014, 07:43 AM

Hit Mr.Savage up.
Im sure he knew that thing inside and out.

JDMcheddar · 04-04-2014, 07:53 AM

I am glad you rid us of that blue and orange thing. Your hatch looks much better! Car is bad ass!

DJPimpFlex · 04-14-2014, 12:44 PM

So were closing in on another event and I'l just sitting on my hands waiting for parts. Hopefully the small running issues I've been having will be sorted this week and I'll be able to head out to Stockton for some wall ride action.

DJPimpFlex · 04-20-2014, 09:24 AM

IT'S FUCKING ALIVE!!!!

I love this car so much. When I started this (re)build I had a idea in my head about how everything would come together and this car honestly blew all my expectations out of the water.

The comp was really fun. Qualified 12th out of 30~ drivers. Lost to my good friend Joe Tardiff in the top 16 unfortunately. To many small mistakes. I really need a lot more seat time but for the first outing in the car I don't think I could come away to disappointed.
