I will take some pictures once the wheels arrive. Someone on the Facebook site is running 15x8 traklites with my tires (225's) and said he had to slightly modifiy the fender bracket to clear without spacers. My fuel injectors arrived  . Parts are showing up everyday. It's like Christmas.  |

Curious why you needed new injectors? (Sorry if I missed an earlier post that already touched on this). The new connectors make me smile a bit, since 3 of 4 on my '91 had broken tabs when I took them out and the manifold off for powdercoating. I really wonder how my donor even ran!

I love the fact they've partially stripped the end of the connector wires but left the casing on to stop the wires fraying. That is lovely attention to detail.

I am turbocharging my exocet. I need more fuel than the stock injectors can handle. The kit usually comes with plug and play adaptors. I asked to have just the ev14 harness as I plan to hard wire them in. (Less chance of a loose connection). My megasquirt ecu just shipped as well as wideband. I still need iconel studs from flying miata and an intercooler. I'm still debating on what I want to do with that. I am thinking over the radiator. For fuel lines I am going to be running hard lines with an fittings and brake lines will be hard lines too. I just can't justify $600 on braided fuel and brake lines when hard lines will be way cheaper and just as good. |

 Turbo all buttoned up. I just need to tap the oil pan. I decided to go with all AN fittings and had a local shop build my oil return line.  Wiring is mostly installed. I will need to shorten the ECU wiring harness that goes to the passenger seat. Not looking forward to that. I soldered my megasquirt DIY PNP last week and will hook that up as soon as my final fuel fittings arrive. |

 So, I figured out how to make it work. Went back to the shop that built it and picked up a 45 degree fitting. that did the trick. Now I just need to install the flowforce injectors and plug in the megasquirt. |

I like what you did with the top bar! Did the same thing on mine. Can you share some more details on how you mounted the seats. I'm working on that right now and I want to make sure my seats are bolted in safely.

Hi Thestig,
I also live locally, just across the river. I've not seen a race chassis in the flesh and if you have time to show it off I'd love to come and take a look.
