Check it out. Got my vei gauge in the mail and decided to go to town on it. Little bit of dremel work and it pops right in! I'm really excited to get them wired up. It looks totally stock. Also....MOTHER ****** TURBO KITTY TACH.

Finished my last final this morning and went home to cut and weld stuff. This back brace came out way prettier and I got all the holes right. Instead of grinding the inside of the tube I just used a flap disc and took a layer off on the outside of the inner tube.
Also got some sweet stickers from revlimiter.
And new turn signals

Threw some spray paint on. And no way in hell they are sliding haha. Some day I will throw the inner bar on a lathe and take a couple thou off. Then powder coat. But for now seats are not adjustable.

Sean has a legitimate use for adjustable braces (2 drivers). And he fabbed the pieces for me. My only position is the one that I fit. Theres no other way I'll fit.

Getting damn close to being ready for track season. I should have taken on more stuff, I still have another 2 months. But a good friend of mine just got a Miata so I'll be putting in time on that to get it up and running.
Update to the list:
To-Do:
0. FIND OIL LEAK/BURN (So far so good.)
1. Inconel studs (RX-7 ordered, still need resbond but I think I am going to run without resbond for now because its a biatch to find)
2. Exhaust bracing. (Ordered a 3 inch exhaust clamp)
3. Locking downpipe bolts (Arrived)
4. Seats + Harness
4. Back braces (DIY)
5.Install new springs (550 Front, 350 rear)
6. Oil+water temp guages. (Going with a VEI systems gauge) Ordered and installed
7. Helmet (Going to continue to run my open face helmet and wait for sa-2015)
8. Hardtop (Got one)
9. Put beads on intercooler pipes (Probably DIY: DIY $5 charge pipe bead roller - D-series.org, unless someone local knows somewhere to get it done cheap)
10. Find coolant leak. (risky to put this here but so far I haven't lost any coolant)
11. Find diff leak.
12. Heat Shielding. (master cylinder, brake lines)
13. Tune.
14. Manifold relief cuts
15. Setup oil cooler
∞. Break stuff
