Well he said:
which led me to extrapolate beer flavored coffee.

Oh lol, actually there are a few good coffee stout beers out there.

 

[AzteCypher]

Might need to try one of those.

 

[freekwonder]

They are pretty good if you like stout beers.

sweet more parts. Got a present from Speedhut today. My black red day/red night (like MS6 gauges) gauges.


GPS Speedo on the left with Odometer, trip meter, 1/4 mile times. Tach in the middle with shift light. On the right is the quad gauge with Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Fuel level and Volts, all electric, with warning lights also.

Did some playing and think I got them pretty good. Just need to button it all up and get them installed in the car.

 

[freekwonder]

Installed into the car. Might end up moving the tach, but just need to get all the sensors installed. Luckily speedhut sent me a power and light daisy chain, so I only had to tap power and ground source once for all the gauges.

 

[freekwonder]

Hopefully I'll be starting her up soon. Here is a night shot of the gauges, different font, but I really missed my MS6 gauges lol.

 

[AzteCypher]

Looking good!

Have you considered putting the tach in between the other two gauges, in the empty spot?

 

[freekwonder]

It's too big to fit there, plan to put the fuel pressure gauge or a future boost gauge.

 

[freekwonder]

Well had a huge step forward. Just need to get her running correctly.

 

[AzteCypher]

Sounds pretty beast! What are your plans with that intake? Looks out of place.

 

[freekwonder]

Thanks, it is out of place. I got it with then drivetrain but it doesn't fit. I need to get my hands on a S14 intake, they can actually fit with a little modification. The S13 one I have can't fit.

Not a great ride yet, but took her for a quick drive around the block. First time in the 7 years of ownership. Still needs a little work.

Always feels good to get rolling again.

Next video:
HARD third gear pulls.

 

[freekwonder]

Yup, first time I've been able to driver her in 7 years of ownership. Just need to get some tires, registration, rear bumper. Engine still needs some fine tuning, but she should be ok to drive for now. Hopefully can hit some meets up soon.

I got to take mine for a stellar drive out through Sonoma and Napa counties today. Here is my route: http://goo.gl/maps/2sKKR

 

[freekwonder]

Jealous man, looks like a nice drive. Got some tires for her today so that is one more thing off the list. Also installed a new radio I took out of my truck.

 

[freekwonder]

Had an exhaust put on her today, 2 1/4" with magnaflow muffler.

Looking good bro. Sounds decent too. lol Too bad you can bring it out when you come visit.

Nice little cruise and meet with other Datsuns today, 4 620s, 4 PL510s and 1 HL510. Got some good attention when we rolled into the skate park.

And hit a milestone with her, first 100 miles I have driven her.
