LOL on a side note....

Z1king: I'm coming down there again this weekend, I'll bring that strut bar.

Hector: I'll bring those springs/shocks for you.

Cornholio: Are you doing the install still this weekend?

Alternatively I can make some of my famous fish tacos... Which is how I got the nickname "fish sauce".

The only thing I have to install still is the goodbox oil temp sensor (and calibrate) and re-install the RB sandwich plate. After I got my re-man the sandwich plate started leaking pretty bad so I took it off.

I've been putting of the install because It's going to be a pain to calibrate that sensor. (I'll have to wire it up to the good box and then read raw data while I dunk the sender into a pot of scalding hot water. Then I have to log the raw data values at certain temps as it cools , which requires an accurate external thermometer... then some excel formulas and it will work) Oh and bringing wires through the firewall under the brake booster is annoying.... I may stop by for a while.

You need to calibrate the sensor?

Dude that just seems like an awful lot of work for very little payoff. Why not just run a gauge that's already calibrated?

Well, that wasn't really phrased right... More like calibrate the goodbox to the sender. And yeah, it does seem like a lot of work for little payoff, which is why the sender/sandwich plate are sitting on my shelf. I bought all of the stuff so I could have the custom display, and monitor stuff on the stock LCD screen without having to buy extra gauge clusters, which have since really grown on me. But since I'm not at the point right now where I can spend much money on my car other than basic maintenance I have not gotten gauges. It may continue to sit on the shelf...
