except you're wrong :D and its a consult board for datalogging... its a good thing. If you want help or the software for it PM me.

white side goes to consult wiring (or you can hardwire it to any z32, sr, rb ka, ca ecu ;) ) blue side is a Serial (RS232 for you computer nerds) to USB adapter so u can use the *crap* on a computer thats not old as dirt (ie doesnt have serial ol' skoolie*)

are those tail lights tinted?

smelly240
01-07-2008, 11:14 PM
yeah - the corners and chuki bumper lights were all blacked out too (i remember that car from a long time ago - with the initialD **** on the door)

*edit* - i see you've already started locating dings as well :)

before u put the motor in dont forget to get a solid steering bushing (if that car doesnt have one yet) - that shizzy is a bitch to install with a downpipe and stuff all there.

Keep the weird Initial D/Taxi/whatever graphics. Add awesome points I swear. Keep the circled ding marks too!

Keep the weird Initial D/Taxi/whatever graphics. Add awesome points I swear. Keep the circled ding marks too!

Is that like keeping the group letter and dots for number of runs on your side window for months after an event?

And make sure you cut out all that rust on the strut tower and then patch it well, that area is structural and if you just pass the hole and don't get rid of all the rust and seal it later, it's going to rust out again. And double check the whole car for other weak areas, there's a lot of rust on that chassis, you might as well take care of it now before you put everything back together and it gets worse.

And is that exhaust mounted on the car? Or just hanging really low? If it's mounted, then make sure to get new exhaust hangers because that looks horrible.

Up first is my new XS Power intercooler....Dimensions- 12" Tall, 32" Wide, 4" Thick and 3" outlets :banana:

Installed Aeromotive FPR, waiting on some fittings to finish it up. Also we moved the fuse box over to the battery tray so we can clean up some of the wiring.

yeah but you can qualify for anything with a mustang cage, and RDH how you gunna do that you didn't even finish the last 240. i wasn't expecting any promises just was curious on what you were doing.
