Cam, something is missing in that picture. In fact I have two Cobalts with empty engine bays and right now neither of us can win a race.

 

I have an Integra with an even emptier engine bay than that in my driveway lol

 

You Vs. Me! I'm younger, and can probably push my car faster, than your heavier caged, rear end equipped car! I WIN MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

Cam that is another bet you likely don't want to make with me. I am not your typical 48 year old, old guy

 

Prolly one of the crazy old people competing in the Olympics

 

Something like that.

Now Camarokiller is about your age so he can push is honda, oops Acura, while you push your Cobalt.

 

You sure? Baseball stadiums have been built in less time.

Almost there!

 

HAHA Cam would win! Its hard to push a car thats on blocks!

 

The Integra is lighter to start with so the weight saved by not having wheels should make it a pushers race.

 

I'll just tie a rope to it and drag her

 

Progress we made today. Got the engine on the hoist, and flywheel bolted up.


Only that in one day!?!? You say. Well, I also totally forgot about my gauge panel which was completely unwired. So, today we tackled the immense task of wiring the panel. We got it done successfully

I should warn you, please have tissue on hand before looking at these pictures



















Tomorrow starts the drop in process By friday, it should be driving (I can only work on it after work )

 

Wow the cobalt tgauges look sexy lit up! Gess those are going in project teggy!

 

It started out as a huge cluster **** of wires and by the evening we had everything straightened out



A lot of the wires were sitting on the other side of the cushions on the couch. Doesn't look that bad in this pic.

 

so thats $800 of gauges there cam?

 

Roughly $1000 actually. There all electronic gauges, not mechanical. NHRA doesn't allow mechanical fuel pressure, and oil pressure gauges in competition.

 

and no audio i am persuming? go fast or go home type of car

 

If you lived closer, i would have voluntered to do the wiring. I love me some electrical.

 

You're a weird dude...

 

nice gauges man

 

I figured that out a while ago

Nice gauges Cam. Where are you hiding the head unit because I don't believe you yanked out the sound system.

 

My head unit is in my room. Its unusable. We took the front mounting plate off, and used a band saw to chop the unneeded part off, then glued the gauge panel to the mounting plate. Worked great, I would take the speakers out, but its too much of a pain in the ass.

 

So you aren't going to have a stereo in the car????

 

**** no! Why the hell would I want to have annoying music competing with my exhaust!?!? Hearing that ridiculous cam lope at a stop light is more music than I'll ever need!!!

 

Hurry up, why are you at your PC chattin' it up online when you could be out there.... building and taking photos.... *cracks whip* Back to your cage!

 

Awww, you guys really like me!
