        I like the 2JZ in the Camero better.

            So I went out and looked at the speedometer to see if it works... it doesn't - don't know why, yet... but while I was out








            someone asked where my fire extinguishers were.... all over is the answer, but I'm down one now


            got a little toasty


            The issue was I had two wires swapped (6 and 8) and it got the passenger side red-hot.... of course, that's the side that has the gas tank right above the muffler (yeah, could have been interesting had I not had a strong impression to fill the tank up earlier in the week)

            I will put a shield there too.... but that darkening? didn't hurt the coating or the paint at all, that black came from the muffler hanger lighting on fire.

            while I was at it tonight I put the turn-outs on


            I'm not sure that's what I want - but it'll work for now...

            now is the validation time - I have at least 2 oil leaks that need addressing; both are going to be a pain to fix; I also need to fix an exhaust leak on the driver's side....

              Do know how many wires connect to it, for it to work like that it would need +12 and then one connection to go off to the ignition and another to energise the starter.

              Is it just a switch or is it part of unit like this;

                  Best project vehicle on BangShift!

                  Great photos - favorite so far.

                  Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

                          I still don't get it (as you know) but it's VERY well done and I expect it will more than handle the job for which it was built. Would it be tacky to say......

                          Rock On!
