2:00 AM progress update. I got alot done today. I got almost all the wireing except for the nitrous buttoned up. I got the cooler installed and plumbed, and Radiator back in. Got all the interior back in (even got my cigarette lighter working for laptop charging etc.) And I got the nitrous bottle mounted and line run to engine bay. Not mutch left to do till its driveable.

With the pick up tube in the nitrous bottle you are going to want to angle the outlet to the back, not the front. Looking good.

I got the car running this morning. It runs good and the transmission seams to work so far( I only backed it down the driveway and drove it back up) . I need to top off the fluid in the trans now that is run to fill the converter and cooler, get a new battery, and get some E85 in the tank and I'll do some real testing. hopefully I'll have more updates later today.

Not a lot to update. I got the new battery in today. I need to pick up some new fuel. Hopefully that will make it idle and run better because it likes to kill when I shift into gear and has a studder when I free rev it. hopefully some new fuel and some tuning will get rid of that.

I took the car for a test ride today and by the first impressions I am very happy. it shifts good using the kiggly manual mod. I did a few 20MPH to 100 MPH pulls going through 3 gears. once the turbo spoools the car pulls like crazy. Spins through first shifts into 2nd very fast and hard. Little to no wheel spin in 2nd. 2nd gear feels like it only lasts a second or 2. Shifts hard into 3rd. At this point I finally looked at the speedo as it goes past 80 MPH stayed in it a little in 3rd then let off.

Next step will be to get the nitrous working so I can stall up the stock converter and make some power before the turbo spools.

Next time I take the car out I'll try to get a video of the tack and speedo while I do some pulls and try to get a data log. My laptop was fighting me this morning so I said screw it.
