Almost ready to start it. Got the axles in, exhaust hung, all the coolant hoses connected, intake manifold and hoses/tubes connected, oil cooler lines connected. Filled with fluids. Flushed brake fluid, bled clutch hydraulics. Wife put the rollbar in for me while I worked under the hood.

What's left:
MAP sensor wiring
Reinstall DME, hood, nose panel, front bumper, wheels.
Crank it for a bit w/plugs out and various fuses pulled to ensure oil pressure
Put plugs in.
Drive it.

what youre smelling is the sewer pipe he can now use between the filter and turbo since there's no sensor in the way...

Uh.... not quite Not going to a speed-density setup. Still using stock AFM even, just using Rogue's tune. No sewer pipe here. Though I reserve the right to step into something like that in the future.

It's been a fantastic 50,000+ miles and we'll sure miss that car.
Hopefully the new owner "Enserfud" will become active in the Rennlist community going forward

Too bad Brian. I know you've got a bunch of cool cars to fall back on, but it's a little sad to see it go. Hopefully the new owner will be a regular at the Fest.

Oh - and when we get at least one of our cars going - you and Judi are welcome to come over and thrash it on our track.

That does look nice. I am curious how easy or difficult it is to make out the map/route in that location. It definitely has a "modernizing" look to it.

And the wheel looks great!

Thanks I'm realy happy with the wheel.
It isn't a great location for the gps but its not bad just need to be carefull and watch where I'm going
I prefer it to pulling the garmin from car to car, its not as easy to use (different) as a garmin but the whole unit was $280 delivered off e-bay the stereo works well which was why i started looking.
