Aaaahhh, what a fine day it was indeed, and the perks of being single and living alone is the fact that you can take your work with you indoors if you want to. Started out abit chilly, but once the sun came out, it was superb!
Started to rewire my fueltank for the walboro 400 pump. 4mm wire(good for 30 amp), 30 amp relay, 30 amp fuse. 12V direct from battery, to a relay now powered by the cars original pump power wire. Alcatraz on the computer, and just chillin while i do the wiring work.

Imagining this thing catching fire IN tank..!

Finally, the sun came out and temps went up alot!!

Drilled out two new holes for the power supply:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9775.jpg
Grabbed some speaker wire with rubber that withstands chemicals, and added an extra wire sock on it for insulation

Oyvindjs 04-25-2012 11:55 AM

Drilled the holes extra large and added an extra sock for more insulation and making the whole thing stick really tight so it wont move around
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9777.jpg

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9778.jpg
Added some fuel and chemical resistant silicone to seal it properly


http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9767.jpg
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9780.jpg
Also, cut open my front bottom cover earlier to make a cold air intake to my radiator. It scoops air from below the front lip, and straight to the radiator sitting in stock location, and from there, out through a vented seibon hood. Should be enough imo. I will also add some alu sheets to further guide the air.

Gotta find myself a few "cash under the table" mechanical jobs for some quick money :302:

Love the work you're doing on the car. I'm a big fan of custom work, but I also love seeing simple clean up/paint/restoration projects too lol.

Also, Dennis rocks! I watched a Pit Bull for about 7 months for a friend of mine and he used to lay just like that, like Superman lol. I love that dog.

Another thing, I love being single as well. I do some of my work in the living room and I built my first engine in the dining room at my old house lol.

Hi man! :)

Thanks for the kind words! :)

Ye, Dennis is a little rascal indeed! He is a Staffordshire Bullterrier, the ancestor of american staffordshire terriers and pits :) He is a large male, and tips 20 kg. Still, theese small firecrackers went head on in the ring against bulls and bears! :D

Ye, single life is great! Little is more pleasing than being able to bring work indoors! :D

Oyvindjs 05-20-2012 05:10 PM

BABY, ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAAAAAAASSS, IIIISSS YYOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!! Santa was just here!

The engine and all the goodies has finally arrived.
first of all, hats off to Allrotor93(Jonathan) for being an excellent seller! He let me use him as a parts-base, so i could get all my stuff shipped to him, and ship everything from him to me in one single shipment! I bought the engine off of him, a beautifully built banzai racing engine, large smooth streetport, T-II 8,5 rotors for high boost capabilities.

took my steering rack appart and "manualized" it, as it was leaking anyways, so i tought, lets try manual rack!
http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...d/IMG_9879.jpg

found this thing hid away behind a ton of parts, thought about using it on an old project once, but i ditched the project.. Could this be a nice thing to run on the rear diff? Does the rear diff get hot when used hard?

Does the Tuborg come with the Banzai engine? If so I need to order an engine. :D Very nice build, we want to see it running. Looks like it will be soon.
