Sucks dude, such a nice build.

Gauges and alarms are so important on FI cars. I once had my oil return line come off at speed and had no oil pressure gauge. By the time I realized my engine was toast.

UPDATE:

i've had the car back for a while now. had some problems keeping it running. it idles perfectly but is running rich. it is still not driveable. i need to send my Cobb AP back to get fixed and then do some tuning. hopefully it will be fine after that.

i also have a couple other things i need to do:
repair melted gauge wiring
install boost gauge/controller
install washer fluid/2 stroke tanks

the problem is now i have moved away from my car and have no job to pay for any of this. i will keep everyone posted once any changes happen.
