install this weekend

nice, can't wait to see this thing up and runnig. You had a very nice P5 to begin with and now it's gonna be killer. Hope all goes well.
 
i'll have the rest of my parts next tuesday...i'm aiming to start the car on friday! i'll post some more pics and definitely get some video!!

pics of the mess! #2 is the famous red/white wire!! pick the white/red and you fry the coils(notcool) ! thanks for all those who have gone before us!!! (thumb)
make certain you solder your connections. those crimps are fast and easy, but they can fail and try finding the loose one.....(ugh) ...!

parts won't be here until wed this week. oh well, gives me time to finish a couple of other projects. boost guage!!
 
Not bad. My new clutch goes in tuesday. I still have to hook up my gauges (Boost, Oil pressure, and EGT, although I'm thinking about getting an A/F instead) and I have yet to track down a small oil leak :(
 
have not posted here in a while mark, how is the project coming besides waiting for parts coming tomororw. you must be getting excited. so when will the finished project be done???

-R
 
ya, the parts were shipped monday, i should see them before weeks end, i hope. then i can get this puppy up and running(cool) . when you're modding your car with custom parts you've got to be patient!!

Have you tried Robins or Napa
 
Robins? I don;t think i've seen them around here. ya, tried NAPA. it's all good, Beau is overnighting them to me today. it's a good thing i'm not in any big hurry with this project...what is this...week 4???

I know all about that. With my kit though (BEGI) I was sent studs that were to long orginaly, the mainfold could possibly fit on them. Unfortunitly, I didn;t realize that until they were already int the block. :(

There are a few robins up in NH. They alot of small parts like that. THey seem to cater more toward actaul repair shops then the public.

The closest to you is probably Nashua.
