I got my coolant temp sender all sorted out tonight.

First I modified the coolant port that runs to the throttle body from the head. Cut the top off, then drilled and tapped to 1/8 NPT.

Voila, will screw right back into the head!

Tried out some rubber trim from good ol Crappy tire for the sharp edges on the door. Worked out nicely.

Also did the EVAP delete:

Sweet nascar battery adds 40whp:

Haha that's the same battery I have...with the terminals on the wrong side. What the hell is an EVAP?

In general, the EVAP system keeps fuel (vapor) from escaping into the environment.

Bimmerworld order finally arrived!

Check out the professional product shots I took lol. Looks like I have some work to do tomorrow!

Tomorrow I'll run the wiring for the gauges.

I got it from some "Hot Rod" shop in Cambridge. I'll let you know if I remember the name of the place. It's just a 36" -3 line.

By the way, I have a spare oil block I'm looking to sell if you're interested.

Had a talk with the guy who's going to be doing my cage.

Set to be done around New Years. Time to start saving :o

Rough Mockup:

Still haven't decided on the side protection.

I need to be protected during an off road rollover. Wouldn't want to smash my head off a rock or tree stump

Just wait until I get these badboys on!
