These tires are sticky... I need a stiffer front suspension to reach their full potential. Pics to come.

Sounds like SS lines from a new gen car will work with minor mods. If this is the case, I know where my next set is coming from! Still saving up money for the fluid and lines. I should probably put an EA82 proportioning valve in or something.

So your's just bolted on without many mods? What vehicle is this on?

Working on getting the factory boost and fuel gauges working. Volt meter seems shifty to me and I don't trust it. Other than that, it is working pretty well! I'm happy with it, but I did lose my OEM shift light and buzzer, trip computer and 120 MPH speedometer...

Correct. They are the same ones installed in the States. We got two or so colors I think.

#1 or #2, the two tones are just too much, too busy...

Morons, I can't beleive that! And they didn't even tell you about it. Almost as dumb as the time I, um, er... Nevermind.

Very cool! Thanks for compiling everything into one place!

Of the emblems or the car? How about the emblems on the car next to the old ones?

I picked up a NOS pair of those on ebay a few months ago. Look just as good as yours.

Mounted and balanced. Pics coming soon!

Yesterday I trimmed the underside of the shifter area to clear the EA81 style 4WD shifter. After seeing what needed to be done, the current setup is a prototype. A LOT of material had to be removed around the shifter hole to clear the drive selector and it will look kind of cheesy until I figure out how to deal with that. Now the work begins on the stereo, power mirror switch and gauges. I test fit the stereo from my old setup and it appears that I will have enough room to mount the stereo comfortably, but I'll have to remove the console to unplug the head unit, so space back there will be tight for sure.

Lets hope you're right Shawn! I still need to mount my Autometer water-temp sender. One of the locations I found that would have worked was filled by some silly thermo-valve. This was below the thermostat housing. Today's swap update: Brake lights work now! Boost and A/F ratio gauges now permanently mounted on the steering column, and the turbo timer is mounted up, but only wired half way. I'm still working on that. The gauges are all buttoned up now, just fine tuning a few warning lights and other things. I also continued work on the 2WD console swap. Need to start cutting up the new face for the stereo mount, bringing it up to the same standard that was met with my dash set-up; version 2.1. That one was pretty much perfect, but could be better... You'll just have to check it out at the WCSS.

Well, I searched the interwebs long and hard, but I finally found the correct part number for the vented EA81 front rotor from Brembo. They are here now along with EA82 Brembo rear rotors. Pads are from Hawk and Axxis. All I need now is some Motul RBF600, stainless braided lines and two sets of caliper rebuild kits. All of the above equals the opposite of -->

The research continues... I installed the upper 2WD mounting bracket and modified the lower bracket to fit the drill holes in the factory 4WD transmission tunnel. The shifter is indeed very close to the console, but I think it will work out. I also need to verify that the modern stereo will still clear the shifter and heater core.

Status report: Yesterday afternoon and evening saw me installing and testing the analog gauge cluster. Because the car is still immoble, I can't test the speedo or tach, but the illumination works as does the clock and warning lights. The car also starts, but I can't quite drive it yet. The only things holding me back now are these: 1) Fuel gauge shows empty, but we knew that because of the differences in the senders. 2) The brake lights aren't hooked up right now, different style connector... 3) I've been told the water temp sensor needs changing, but I havn't confirmed this on my set up, but we will see... 4) I don't have any mileage on this set up, so who knows how reliable it will be. Pics to come.

Tires are on the move, just leaving Nebraska today! Hopefully they'll be here in time for the show. $50 a piece, gotta love those closeout prices!!

News about the AutoX cancellation = weak sauce...

I think you're right on the pressures. Even so, imagine what a freshly rebuilt and clean OEM injectors could do with the upped pressure and a 5th injector upstream. I'm hoping that won't be necessary after the bump in fuel pressure, but that would mean more money, and I already have the ARRFPR. What are you guys running as far as fuel pumps to back these larger injectors?

I'm not even sure which wires do what on my TT, but I found a really nice ground, e-brake and a switched power. I'm not sure if I can use the power signal because it only gets a signal in the ON position, not ACC. Plus, the translated version of the Blitz installation manual is very short and I'm sure something must have skipped the translation.

Well the engine that these injectors came out of is the same as the EVO engine, just with the head on backwards. I expect the injectors from each engine to be fairly similar because of that. Is there enough room for the bolts with the modified injector housing, or will they bottom out? Just noticed that and wondered about it. What about just cranking up the fuel pressure instead of new injectors? Old subies run a lower-than-standard pressure, and I'd be willing to bet they are rated for flow at that lower pressure. I beleive it is something like 38 PSI and the industry standard WAS 43-48 or something.

So what is the deal with the AutoX? Has anything been figured out yet? Off-site? If so, about how far? When is it planned to be scheduled? Won't interfere with the show and shine will it?

Just an update: Finishing up on the analog dash conversion and turbo timer install. I'll add more to this post when I have results.

Did anyone ever get this figured out? I've got mine intalled, but not wired yet. Which wires for the ignition do I need to tap into?

Nice to see another road racing subie! I haven't gotten mine out on a track yet, but sometimes I feel like the only member around here who still races on pavement! Your car looks great, no suprise since your team did so well! Congrats, you guys have earned it!
