Here is the trans temp sender picture. This is a trans pan drain plug kit with the plug left out and a trans temp gauge sender screwed in. This is the drivers side forward side of the pan.
I ran the wire up and through the firewall here, it was very easy.
This is the gauge in the car.
This is the trans cooler. Note, the lines went through a hole that I enlarged in the passenger side bottem. Also note the outside air temp mod in the top left of the picture. It works fine and is less weight.
This is the rear sway bar heim joint end link, helping to remove some of the understeer. SS brake lines, and poly shock mounts up inside.
There are the new C5 calipers. Thanks to a nice forum member, PM me if you need some as he may have more.
C5 wheels.
Brake ducts.

Way COOL!
Just curious,did you ever think about a windshield Pillar pod for your trans temp instead of putting it in the air vent?
I think it would be more useful there and not look out of place in the middle of the dash...but thats just my opinion,and I still love what you did anyways.Just thought it would look better if installed on the left side in the pillar area.

A few of the things I put together over winter. In the picture with the front wheel off you can see the duct melted a bit, I've been to one track event with them on. Then took the car all apart.
I do plan to take some pictures with the wheels on. I would be done with the passenger side of the car but I am waiting on adapter plates. Once they are here the car will go together quick.
I thought of using a pillar mount for the gauges but do not want anything that will limit my view and do not want the distraction of having them there. I will likely block that whole vent and have four gauges there. I don't have time to flip the switches to show different temps on the dash.
That EM end link needed a lot of work. I'll be using Guldstrand parts instead for the front.
