    Wow, it really has been forever since my last update. Work has been killing me. I had an issue with the idle jumping from 1-3k. That took me a while to figure out. It turned out to be the Throttle cable was too tight. I got most of the little things done also.

    Mounted my Free mad tyte air filter

    Mounted the code reader

    Wired the aux fan


    I noticed my gas pedal was not being held on the top. I needed new grommets


    Done

    I also cleaned up the wires

    Process

    All done

    Engine covers on

          So I have been waiting to show this to you guys all at once. One reason why this is taking me forever, along with my job, is that I keep finding new things to add. I decided to do the interior also.

          I found a set of Sand power and heated Vaders in very good shape.

          I made a set of brackets

          Too bad they didnt work

          I had to buy some brackets


          All set up


          I had to modify the seatbelt connector to fit the Vaders








          Next was wiring them
          My harness


          Running it

          The connectors

          All done


          I do not have the heated option installed yet, until I could find a full e36 harness with switches.
          Seats installed




          I got my back seat custom wrapped to get as close as possible





          I also did my guages.









          I also vacuumed and filled the A/C system

          I found out that my fan decided to die today.

              So I got a few things done in the past few days.

              I connected the lights.



              Mounted the WW res

              Put the grilles back on along with the bumper



              I also got a Ryan G splitter




              In order to get my temp guage working I needed to change the temp sender
              Under the intake mani

              New one

              Old Vs New

              All done

              Working

              I also blead the brakes



              The car is pretty much done. I just need to finish mounting the hood, and wiring the aux fan.

                  So here is a small update.

                  I am still waiting to get the exhaust on, hopefully next week or so.

                  I have mounted the RX-7 BBK. They are 4 piston calipers and 280mm rotors.



                  Shot with my wheels on. Note the cracked paint.



                  Mock fitting:
                  Bracket fits


                  Rotor fits


                  Caliper fits


                  Wheels dont :(


                  I ordered spacers, but due to lovely sema, they wont be here until next week

                  Wheel removed

                  Brake system removed

                  Heat shield removed



                  Locktite on the bracket bolts


                  Bracket and rotor on


                  Brake line adaptor


                  Everything on


                  Pads on


                  Make sure to tighten brake lines


                  All done


                  Now all thats left is to bleed the brakes

                  Got the hood on



                  Small pic of what I have been up to

                                I got the wheels on today. I am really excited. I keep looking at the car.

                                Yes it is dirty, yes I am going to wash it, and give it a very very good wax.

                                Spacers came in today


                                Really good quality, and good prices, I would reccomend them to anyone


                                Spacer on


                                Wheel on



                                A few crappy pics of the car




                                Damn, I just noticed it is pretty low. Skid plate here I come!
