Decals in the next steps of cleaning up the car. I will post new pics of that stuff as soon as they're done (I have a bunch of other decals on order).

FedEx called this morning. New radiator will be delivered tomorrow.

*out of breath*

Just raced the FedEx guy to my house. I was tracking a package online and saw it was out for delivery. Left work right away, booted it home, and I got here in time that he had to stop at the stop sign on the other entrance of my street to let me go by. I parked in my driveway and he pulled up behind me.

Good timing!

And the new Rad is here now.

LOL you practicing for May?

 

[Jenn]

It would seem like it. haha

Although we took different routes so I don't think that counts!!

 

[aMaff]

hey, nothing wrong with clipping a couple apexes and dropping a tire here and there. Different lines count right? hahaha

 

[Jenn]

Header leak is fixed, new rad is in, battery box is welded, interior is repainted, exterior is cleaned, everything is running.

We only have a couple more things to do, and some decals to put on (I put on the Mazdas247 decals yesterday )

Here's a video (all of that sound is throaty carb noise)

nice That sound makes me happy. Did you get the tach signal worked out?

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

mmmmmm so nice.... i needs higher revs in the vids please

 

[Jenn]

Patience my dear Taylor! We need to break it in a little. I have it electronically limited to 5000 rpm right now so we don't get too spirited!

Tach signal is sorted out. I just hooked it to the trailing coil for now. Our new tach will be calibrated to work off the ignition box.


OH and I made an aluminum bezel for the gauges yesterday. Looks awesome.

 

[Jenn]

I'll post more pictures later once I finish up a few more projects.
