Tape off the area around it and give it a coat cant be that hard

Will look tones better

Will do that when the underside of my hood gets painted. Pic of mounting hardware for vent gauges and a test fit on broken dash trim. Two 60mm Defi gauges will be on the right side. Final piece to be finished early tomorrow. Anybody make a corner dash gauge mount for LHD cars? Only find one for a WRX LHD and S-Chassis RHD cars.

Defi daisy chain power wires were too short to finish center console over weekend. Should have longer ones today. Modified heater core vent to flow air only to the 350z vent. Used some plastic and cut a 3" flex pipe that I found in the roofing section of Lowes. Safety wired, siliconed, and glued together. Also was able to start and finish mounting all my controllers into the glovebox. Constructed out of 3/4 wood wrapped in gray suede to match headliner, door inserts, and glovebox. Held in place by 1/2 x 1/8 thick aluminum and Velcro. Pic dump.

Got other two gauges mounted. Tested sound system. Off to see Cake, maybe they'll play Stickshifts and Safety belts. One can only hope.

Defi link and gauges up and running. Turbo timer installed. DIF fan controller and boost controller almost complete. All wires soldered and labeled. Installing LM-1 wideband tommorow and wiring it to dataloggit box as well. Connected PowerFC dataloggit to computer and downloaded enthalpy's ign timing map. Read that these values are far superior to the map provided on the FC from Apexi. Going to use scotties tune taken from freshalloy as a starting point. Hoping to fire it up in a week or two.

Not much work done on car last month or so. Been to damn cold outside. Went to torque crank bolt but no go. Car in gear (4th) and friend applying brakes. Engine just spins freely. Bled clutch and breaks with suction or pressure bleeder. Press clutch, slave cylinder rod moves. Gonna roll my fenders, adjust the E-brake and put car on the ground. Hope this will do the trick.
