Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Made some more progress today, I decided to relocate my AFPR and hookup my electric fuel pressure gauge.
Working out how long to make the line:


ADD cut in and I pulled the battery out, stock battery in stock battery tray sucks its always in the way and just huge.


Samantha and I both drive hondas, which we all know sport small batteries so I attempted to steal one, first out of my car, but its placed between the strut tower and the firewall, so no-go on that one, then I looked at her car and its right up front with enough room to fit a larger one in.


DSM battery in honda:


Random metal I had laying around that I formed to hold the battery above the transmission but in a lower position than stock.


All done with those jobs, AFPR & battery relocation complete:


Then I decided to mount my new coolant overflow, so that I can run at the track. It is NHRA legal as it will hold over the required quart capacity.
I bought an oil catch can from ebay and plugged the ports on the top of the can, i then put a barb in the bottom and used it as a coolant resevoir.
Sorry for the shit pic.
