I have NB2 seats that I am waiting on new covers to be made in red. I will probably switch to those once I get them to replace the 1.6 seats.

Braineack is coming to visit this coming weekend. That means it is finally time to get this car back on the road. I have been working on it actively over the past few weeks as I have spare time between building turbo setups for customers.
Currently the drivetrain is installed and has fluids. I am still working on getting all the suspension buttoned up after swapping to a NB front subframe and installing 3.63 gears. Next on the todo list is to install the front coolant block off port and then get the timing belt installed. Still waiting on my BBK from TSE, hoping that gets here before this coming weekend.

I can't use the stock piece with my low mount absurdflow setup either. Long term I am planning on getting several setups on this car and on the dnyo, assuming this motor lives. Plan is to dyno MKTurbo, TSE 6258, Absurdflow RamHorn GT2871, tacotaco SR20 T25, and maybe a few other setups along the way.

Braineack and I spent all day wrenching on the car. It is back together and on the ground. Tomorrow morning we button up a few small things on the inside, then attempt to start the girl. We might post pictures later tonight.

30+ seconds of cranking without spark or fuel and no oil pressure. Started car for about 3 seconds and nothing. About to start pulling **** apart and trying to figure out wtf is going wrong.

So I had wired the oil pressure sensor for the MS to the wrong wire on my TPS plug. Switched it to the correct 5v wire and I am building 18-20psi just cranking the motor with no spark plugs or injectors hooked up. So I am getting pressure. I think my stock sensor that goes to the gauge cluster is finally done. I can at least watch oil pressure in TS while I am breaking in the motor.
