Fuel system done and plumbed. Added a mechanical gage under hood (have an electric in cabin) and added an ethanol sensor too.

Bypass mod complete on the zo6 Ti exhaust. Excited to get this on and ditch the ugly ass setup that’s currently on the car.

And a couple of extra bonus pics from my buddies shop that did the bypass for me. He’s a Gebhardt, use to be a huge name in fab shop for racing. Now his dad just does it out of his home.

Still slowly picking away at the car. It’s nearing “completion.” Had to order a 3 bar map for the pulley setup I’ll be running as I will probably be around 20-25lbs. Will need a base tune to drive to a shop for an alignment prior to full tune. Also picked up a set of A4 seats to install.

"It's got a bad plug wire and it's low on power steering fluid...wanna race?"

Car is finally out of the shop and now the waiting game starts for the tuner to find the time. We really want to get in a dyno due to the power expectation, gets sketchy on the street.

The front tires on the welds are way too wide, so I need to get some tires ordered soon because they look like shit on the car! Will try to get them swapped asap, but money is tight as I just dropped $2k on truck suspension and I still need tires for it. Plus booked and paid for 3 vacations so I’m currently strapped.

Also need a new plate since that one expired three years ago. ?

Threw the seats in the car today and hooked up the flex gauge. Now still waiting for the tuner…

I had a 98 cobra BAB with seats similar to those if I recall they fade very easily and fast or have they fixed that issue? Either way they very comfortable seats.

I’ve seen some pictures online of them faded. I planned to google see if there is anything I can apply to them to help slow the fade down. The windows are 5% around and 50% windshield, so I’m hoping that helps out a little bit at least.

Mine were 20% tint and the seats looked purple

I know it’s hard to believe, but another speed bump. Car was idling like shit and tuner didn’t know why, started diagnosing and determine had a dead injector and a weak injector. Running Bosch 210’s from BigWillys performance. Messaged him and he stated it was likely due to the the flow match chemical sitting in them for the almost 2 years that I bought them and didn’t run them. Ordered a new set that will ship out Monday.

Would you sell the old injectors? If so shoot me a price, I might be interested

Fml! Suspension settled and while unloading from the trailer and finally driving it back into my garage heard a grinding sound. Guess we didn’t shave enough off of the a-arms for the wheels!

good news though, car is at least back home. Now to find time for tuning. A friend is going to tune it just so I can drive it around while I try to decide who im going to have do my full tune.
