I like those rims on your car - Car looks great.
Thanks. Wasn't sure if I wanted black at first but I got used to it and like it very much.
Just came in today. Got so many projects going on at the same time and my garage is a mess.
Now its time to wire it into the car.
fuck it, another day.

Started installing the gauges and running wires to rear. I also said eff it and removed the seats so I can have easier access since center console and rear panel have to come off. Glad I did cause it needs some cleaning.

OK, some I need some help here. I originally wanted to tap into fuel preassure regulator for boost readinfg but this is as far as the wire goes and would preffer not to cut and extend.
Can someone help me here with some info and tell me if I can tap into any of these lines for boost? Im thinking I can do this. Otherwise I might run a vaccuum line from here to FPR instead of extending the line. Thanks in advance.

Thats what I thought before but thats not the case. Im getting conflicting reports. I do know if I tap into the line that feeds the preassure switch it would work but seems hard to get to while installed.
OK. So I got gauges wired into car. Steering wheel is in and I washed the carpetsn and conditioned seats. I just need to drop off test pipe to muffler shop today to have bung welded in for wideband sensor.
Once that is back I can connect wideband sensor to wire I ran and its done and seats will go back in. Still waiting for my mirrors to come back from Jeff.
Once all that is complete I will start on doing brake upgrades:
*Hawk HP+ Pads front and back
*StopTech Brake Lines
*Downforce CF Brake Ducts
and then send car in to Ramon to have complete brake flush, including ABS system with ATE Super Blue.
I also have Downforce DF-R sidescoops coming in next week.
This week I pick up new Dunlop Starspecs from Tire Central since front is to worn out for CalCoastal drive.

Thank you.
1) Momo Tuner 320mm
2)Speakers are JL Audio
I actually learned to love Tan interior. Looks better in person than pics though.

Yes sir. I took that pic the week I rescued him from the local animal shelter and he was 3 months old in that pic. His name is Nook.
Here is a pic of him from last week while at the park next to my other dog "Jack-E" (her dads name was Jack, thats why its spelled that way).
Here is a pic of wideband sensor installed. Just removed test pipe and sent to local shop to weld in bung for me.
removed hub to remove brake heat shield and install CF duct
Heat sheild off and brake duct installed
Also did all my brake lines
My other dog jack-e as mentioned earlier. after working on car I always jump in cool to relax and cool off
We picked these up later that day.....I have never seen or owned such big pumpkins
All that is left is to wait for my brake pads and fluid to come in. Wait for my side mirrors to come back in and also have DF-R side scoops on way in. Then I can do final inspections and clean up and it will be ready for its next event.

Looking good!!
Thanks.
Here is a pic of my gauges powered up.
Only thing that sucks, even after sourcing good ignition and ground source is that I hear a little whine on my speakers (does not change with RPM so I doubt its a grounding issue.). I might re route some wire later on since I think its running pretty close to my low level signal to amp. That will happen later since I only notice with stereo on AND volume near 0.

you've probably tried it but i would suggest moving the wires around and try to avoid running the speaker wires alongside the power cable. and of course make all cables especially the speaker cables are shielded.
Thanks.

I did but noise still there. Its faint and I cant hear it if volume is present or engine is on so its a small thing and I will wait until I put car away at end of the month.
Im kind of stuck since im waiting for Brake pads, fluids, DF-R sidescoops and my mirrors. They will all get here friday hopefully (some parts, others later) so that leaves me with just a few days to install them all and do a brake flush with new fluid. Kind of sucks.
To save time I removed rear brake calipers since I already removed front and get ready for brake job. I also went ahead and removed OEM sidescoop and now waiting for new one. Wow, was that a HUGE PITA!!

Got some random brake tools I will need when parts come in.
New tires up front. I have Michelin pilot super sport onrear because at the time they couldnt get z1 starspec for a week and needed a tire asap. 1 trackday with this setup and no issues.
Then Hawk HP+ and ATE fluid came in.
Cabron 6 mirrors came back in and back on
front brakes done
rear brakes done
Car is complete and just waiting for side ducts to come in later this week.
Im not boosting where I should (3psi right now) so im looking into that but idle is good and no surges so maybe my gauge is having issues?

ruckus I saw at Tire central. I want one now.
As it sits now, only waiting for DF-R side ducts.
