Few updates worth mentioning.

If you get the vettenuts insulation kit, they do not cut holes wide enough around the seat mounting bolts. The plastic covers will not fit due to increased thickness.

I had to remove the driver side carpet to cut them larger, still need to do the passenger side. The driver side seat is rebuilt, and installed.

Radioflyer headlights installed, and look awesome. Still need to aim them. Also I bolted the ballasts to the wheel wells.



While changing the blower oil, the female end separated from the braided line. I can't run the car until I get a new drain line, I called Chris@ECS and a new one will be here Tuesday.

I cheaped out on oil and got Pennzoil Ultra, going to add some moly due to lifters/cam.

Still need to:

1. Change blower oil
2. Install new drain line
3. Add motor oil
4. Fix passenger insulation/install seat
5. Install shroud
6. Drain wiper fluid and fill with 100% meth

Nothing major, I should be out driving wednesday night

Sounds good

Dam me too! Guess I'll be ordering mine, thanks for posting!

So I had a moment of ignorance, and thought my drain line from the blower was broken. It was not, when you loosen the nut, the female end spins on the line due to how the fitting works. Oh well, now I have an extra line.

Blower oil changed, motor oil added. This weekend I will finish the interior. Weather is not as nice as I hoped, calling for some snow this weekend, hope they are wrong like normal.

Rained and hailed in buffalo yesterday, was nicer near my house in the hills though.

Between last night and when I just checked it, weather changed from snow to rain

nsogiba

ehhhh, i took mine to work, hailed on it, fiberglass doesn't dent, she'll be fine!

It's awesome out here today (working from home). I may drain the wiper fluid, fill with meth, and take her out.

Edit: What area downtown do you work?

Walter White approves of the Meth fill up. Speed Shop will be stocking the "blue" stuff

I still have a lot to burn through, I'll sure as **** try though lol

I think I found the suspension settings that I like best for the street.

Front
Compression: 4
Rebound: 8

Rear
Compression: 3
Rebound: 5

Party time




R888s still can't hold 1/2/3 gear, but the roads are still a bit chilly. Once they warm up I will dial in the suspension for drag racing and see if it helps.

Only things left on the list are aiming the headlights and installing the shroud. ECS idler might need new bearings, they are a bit loud and this seems common.

It was nice to cruise and not break my back on every bump, and hear music. It's going to be a great summer with the car

nsogiba

headed to C&C sunday?

nullpointer

of course, you?

nsogiba

Yes, I am meeting a couple buddies and should be there around 9. I'll be lookin' for ya. Maybe some other board members on here will attend as well. Weather is looking perfect, should be a big turnout

nullpointer

Sounds like a plan I know of 1 other member that will be there. Weather will be awsome

nsogiba
