Installed RB pod

Sorry I missed the meet last night guys.

I started installing the RB guage pod on saturday night about 4:45pm and thought I would have it done in time. NO way, the instructions were a little vague but mostly the problems came because the water temp line is too short. I barely got it across to the coolant hose it adapts to.

Anyways I got it all in, everything is tight and there are no leaks. The pod looks amazing, you can all see it at the next meet I guess.

Water temp - 180-190F at all driving conditions
Oil Pressure - 60psi at cruise, 70psi hammering it around an onramp
Oil temp - 140 most of the time, 165 once you've been hammering for a while.

Cool.
I can't wait to see it at the next meet!

What did it cost to get it over the border?



Its a hybrid; it burns gas and rubber! - you forgot oil!

I will post a pic as soon as I can guys. I have been super busy with work, so I just flake out as soon as I get home.

The pod cost nothign to get over the border actually. I my buddies bought it for me for my B-day last month, they shipped it to a vacation home in Florida then brought it back in their luggage when they came home.
