Hey Monj, you planning on wrapping some heat sheath on those fuel lines coming out of the surge tank?
Are you not worried of the fuel boiling inside the lines being so close to your exhaust?
Fuel injectors wired in, fuel hoses routed and mounted, new temporary oil pressure gauge ready to go...
Almost ready for that start up, the awakening.
And freshend up the gear selector.

Damn what I missed!!? Looking good again Martin! Are you gonna be able to make it out this weekend?
Heres a lil progress from today, just put the 1st 100miles on the motor!!!
Well fellas the ep3 is back on the roads again, better, stronger, faster, and mainly with a fairly new motor thats gonna need its adequate break in. So far i have clocked in 200+ miles and once i hit 500 im due for my first oil change. So far the car is hella fun to drive and the shifter is a day n night difference, i cant stress enough how much better and precise the shifting is, just like a racekare!!!
Im very gratefull for the one person that took time out of his life, family to come to TX and take care of me and 19dc5, with out his help and knowledge i dont know where my car would stand at this very moment in all honesty.
Brian (Speedlab) thanks man for doing what you did for us.
So as decided im going to take my time and do things rite this time, i want this motor to last, i want to enjoy my car as much as i can and not be down for repairs, but if i am one day, or a week, let it be for upgrades!
As far as TX2k14, mothernature fucked us over badd, wett streets and FWD FTL, so i take this as a blessing more than anything, thing, events happen for a reason. Other than that ill continue to update you guys/gals as the progress goes, ill snap pics and videos of the development on the motor as it breaks in more, gotta learn to walk before you can run, rite?
And a couple snap shots of the 2 cars that made the dyno out of 3, but only one left with a happy ending.
And a shot of the man with the game plan!
After catching up on some rest i needed, decided to finish modifying the final pc missing from the center console, didnt take much brainstorming, and with the help of the wifey, she did the final touches to it.
Fit perfectly like i wanted it to. Now lets pray K-tuned hooks it up with a shift knob!!
How did you mount that shifter? I would get one in a heatbeat if it wasn't to involved
Well it is a bit complex to explain. I honestly just sent the plastic pc that sits in the floor to my tuner, and he fabbed up a steel boxto fit the shifter flat on it, and once he got here on Fri he did all the work for me, i just bought the stuff and yes, so last night i just finished modding the plastic trim where the middle cupholders go, and viola it fits perfect
On its 1st day to work, after a 6 month vacation.
