Full fluid flush was done with DOT4 after making the rear lines and swapping all of the soft lines to braided stainless.

I'll have to see if Eric caught one when I was giving him a ride.
Got the old starter out last night and the new one in there, the new one had threaded holes in it and that seemed like it may have made it a bit easier.
I'm looking forward to not needing someone armed with a screwdriver to start my car!
While the car is in the air I will be installing my electronic boost controller so I can run my desired 16psi (currently at 13.7) and be able to do a bit more with megasquirt if I choose to do so.
I will also be adding the E fan back to the corner of the radiator for the time being until I get a large and very thin pusher for between the radiator and intercooler.
I ordered a muffler for the car as I am getting a bit tired of how loud it is and will be getting that installed next week by the guy that made my exhaust. The muffler is a straight through design so it shouldn't it quiet it down too much but I'm hoping it will remove some of the drone when cruising.
I am also thinking about running the BOV's in a recirc configuration as those are also extremely loud. I may also try piping their outlets down towards the ground and see if that helps before going recirc.

Ratio spikes rich now, but more on that in a second.
I was having a hard time keeping all 6 cylinders running due to a plug on the high current side of the coil drivers and I got around to changing that plug this weekend to something more robust with better contact. Boy did that make a difference! I still have some rich spots that cause breakup but I'm working on smoothing those out. The car moves very well now, and I had my first run in with the police for the year! No ticket, just a warning or two.
Traction in second gear has become entirely optional, my tires wont be lasting long.

Sweet Jesus, just jumped right into that one huh? lol
We have the same cranks, shifter/derailleur, and brakes!
That's a wicked bike, should be a ton of fun! I love seeing 25lbs on that build.

Getting back on my old bike yesterday was a little tough after riding a $2300 rental bike last weekend. That being said, i still can't justify spending that much money on a bike that doesn't even have an engine...
Where the dirt bike trails at?

I think his plan is to see if he can slow down the rotation of the earth.

I should have you meet the guy that took the photos. He's an interesting character!

I got a new bike, and am wildly afraid of scratching or harming it as carbon fiber makes for expensive toys.

Turning off overrun fuel cut, the sign of any true tuner!

No, but it would have been a half priced core to send in to be rebuilt.

Not a burnout vid, but a short video of lightly getting on the throttle and popping my intake coupler off!

Oh. Right. I changed to soft lines instead of those annoying metal ones that kept bugging me.
My statement may no longer apply

Notes:
You can also just remove the two nuts that hold the injector rail in place and wedge that out of the way. No fuel anywhere.
You can remove the throttle cable from the throttle body instead of removing the whole thing. I think that's about a horse a piece.
It is quite easy though, pending your wiring harness cover setup you may have to remove the cover.

Yeah, you need to make sure that it's actually overheating and not just the cluster. Chances are it's not actually overheating. Did you check the temp with a gun yet to make sure it's overheating? Because it may be a loose nut on the cluster. Did you verify the temp yet? I would probably hit it with a temp gun to ensure that it's actually overheating.
