    Another MatsLV done and it was a great time. It was great to see all the guys and girls I raced with in the NMCA autocross series. The group is great and so much fun to race with that's what makes this event such a good time I'm already looking forward to the next one. The car ran good all...

    The car made it through this weekends event. The new brakes are working really good and we worked on the tune a bit which helped. The car was better out of the corners but the corners were faster this time. I also tested a new set of spring rates front and rear which helped with the cars...

    It's been awhile since I updated this thread. So since the last post I got the engine back in and took it out to the second SCCA event to test it out. Unfortunately the event didn't go as good as the first. I ran into a couple issues which may have been due to a failing MAP sensor messing with...

    I can't believe how I missed this.I don't know if my friend was trying to make me feel better but he said with how meticulous you are with things are you sure that wasn't stuck to the bottom of the lower intake when you installed it. I'm so frustrated with myself right now.

    Well we figured out the oil pressure issue. It turns out some dumb person namely me left a blue shop paper towel in the upper lifter valley when he had the lower intake off the car. It proceeded to come apart and find it's way down into the pan where it clogged the oil pick up. The thrust...

    I thought I would give an update on the car. During the process of getting ready to pull the oil pan I found so bearing material in the oil coming out of the pan and in the filter. I decided based on that the engine should come out and gone through to see what is going on with it. So I pulled...

    I got the mechanical gauge installed in the car. It reads the same as the dash and Holley gauges. We think the pressure bypass in the pump might be stuck open or part way open. Unfortunately you won't know until we dig into the engine. Instead of pulling the engine I'm thinking drop the kmember...

    That's what I'm hoping the car didn't have this problem before the rewire so I'm hoping it's just a sensor issue. I'm going to get the mechanical gauge hooked up and see what happens. If I still have low oil pressure my guess is I will find something in the oil and filter. Maybe I will be...

    The first event out had some good and bad. The good I won the bad the car is loosing oil pressure. I only got one timed run but it was good enough for the win. I was bummed I knew the car was much faster with the mistakes I made on my run. The course was damp but drying and getting better. I...

    The interior is back in the car. I have a few things to finish up but for the most part it's done.I need to work on the bezel around the dash. I didn't want to rush it so I didn't try and mess with it. Also where the heat and air controls normally go I'm going to mount USB ports so you can...

    I picked the car up from JBA yesterday. It was finished on Friday but I didn't feel like driving it home in traffic. The car runs great has really good cold start and warm starts on E85 which is nice. We are still dealing with a bit of an idle hunt when it's cold but goes away when the car warms...

    The car made it to JBA for tuning yesterday barely. It's funny it will start and idle but man when you tried to gas it to move then let off it would just fumble and die. They said it should take a couple days if all goes well.

    Thanks guys I'm really happy to have it at least running. I can't wait for the Jan 21 event to finally get back behind the wheel of the car.

    Well after not running since the beginning of June she is finally alive.It still needs some work but it will idle and it looks like my wiring job has worked so far. Now it's time to get it dialed in. Unfortunately that is pushed back until probably Wednesday. Then I need to get it back home...

    After a ton of work building and testing here's the finished main engine harness.By some miracle all the pins tested fine from the Dominator connectors all the way to each connector. I finished it up on Sunday but wasn't able to install it until yesterday. I had to let all the sealing resin...
