Long overdue update

[Pillow]

Well it is slowly getting there.

The CIS fuel system has been modified to run K-basic instead of the K-Lambda (uses a brain box for a frequency valve which pissed me off). The new GTI fuel dizzy is cool but one of the injectors is now shooting a little weak in its spray pattern. The injector in question was fine before the swap, tried a different injector and it performed the same way.

I rejuvenated the interior a bit pulled out the old fiberglass insulation and replaced with Naca insulation and generic Dynamat... Oh my is the sound deadener sweet!!! No more tin can door shutting

New sound system. Orion 500.4 amp running Orion components and an A/D/S/ 12" 301RS sub. It gets pretty tight and crisp. No boom boom ghetto stuff.

The engine is a little more oil tight with custom gaskets (fun with knives and scizors). A breather box was added so no more oil should get out the flywheel seal. Berg assembled (Manton) pushrods were added so I will feel more comfortable above 4500 RPM.

Still in the works is the 3.5" dropped spindles for the front. And trying to switch wheels to Dish 16"ers but not sure what to do with them finish wise, see the Wheel forum.

That might do it for now.

Later,

Hey Prez,

I pulled the screens as you told me a while back... Funny little things really

Hopefully tomorrow I can get a helper to take the engine from the stand to the bus to slide her in for a test run.

Great to hear about your progress, look forward to hearing more about the test run...

Engine is now in place and hooked up!

But a dead battery and impending rain forced a cancelation of the road test.

... More tomorrow

Good progress. Keep em' coming. :righton:

I can't wait to see it driving too.
