    Thanks for the Complements. Hopefully, I can afford a Paint Job later on. Got quoted $2500 for a Dual Stage Paint Job and only Masked off Trim Paint Job. Which I thought was overpriced.

    Damn you've taken it for a ride thus far! Interior freshened up like crazy, what spray/dye did you use for your carpet? I'm curious to how durable this carpet dye stuff is, also if I wear brand new white shoes will they get stained from the dye even after it dries?
    I just used the Dupli-Color Carpet and Vinyl Paint. Spray thin Coats then vacuum or brush the spray. I used Flat Black and Spray enough to turn it to Charcoal :D Wanted it to be close to Factory as possible. They will not stain the shoes once dried. (It's Spray Paint with special agents so it will stick to carpet and vinyl)

        Today, I installed my PnP LC-1 with G3 gauge kit from blueapplesoda. Great guy to deal with and fast shipping. Also working with Derek to see what the problem is. A+ Service :D



        Here is where I installed it and etc.







        Video of the Gauge in Action.

        When I punch the gas really hard the gauge cuts out and comes back on. I am not sure what is wrong. The red wire that was hanging out I tap it to the distribution block on the passenger side by the firewall. Any thoughts?

          hello,

          I recently bought an S eta engine. previous owner redid the head and he put in a catcams camshaft and dual valvesprings. I thougt everything was OK until i found out i had no oil going to the tube in the head. also started it without the tube and no oil came out of the 2 feeds to the tube. checked everything and like in your case I also have only 4 oil passages for the 7 bearing cam :s gonna dril the 3 extra holes like you did. but i dont see how this could block the oil going to the tube? where does the oil enter the head? could it be that because i only have 4 holes instead of 7 oilflow is blocked to the tube?
