Never seen that before. Do you think the A pillar cover needs to come off though for the tie down?

If I'm in a situation where my side air impact bags deploy, I'm going to be fixing allot more than just the a-pillar I believe.

nem--i did kind of a trick to remove that metal coolant pipe near the firewall and intake---just rotate the pipe that comes out of the engine on the drivers side that feeds that pipe. Then attach a long heater hose to it and run it underneath the engine along the subframe to the passenger side. The just up to the oridginal spot to attach to the metal heater pipe!
Ta Da and all that crap is now hidden and that heat is away from the intake.
Nice looking set up.

^ Sorry for your luck on finding it. I was glad mine was just the thermostat.

I'm back to doing finishing touches on the interior with more gauges. Ordered the dual vent pod for 52mm. Looking at the Autometer Sport Comp AFR, and the Autometer Sport Comp Fuel Pressure. These will match my already installed Racing Beat ash tray gauges for water and oil.

I need to order gauges. Any reason you went with 52mm over 60mm?

My existing Racing Beat pod has 52's, so I thought keeping them the same would look better.

That makes sense. I'm debating between external gauges or the GOODbox. I may do a combo of the two.

Only (1) piece of my puzzle to purchase now. The BHR fuel pump upgrade. I have fuel pressure, and afr gauges to install, and then the fuel pump. That will complete the project. Still waiting on my MMCCS v 4.0.2 map. Dyno is scheduled for 12/04/10.

Awesome Nemesis... I've been following your thread for a while now and like a lot of what you've done to build up your motor. Can't wait to see the end result!

Thanks - it has been a long year, since I started on 12-28-2009. Finishing with some gauges and fuel upgrades, then off to the dyno.

Camera phone pic of block8head's dual 52mm gauge pod. Sorry about the flash. Once I have the wiring complete, I will snap better pictures at night all lit up. I don't have the pod snapped down into place yet also. Dang camera phone suks for sure. lol



See anything else in the photo?
