lol... 240 guys are confused about the oil pan situation.
Yeah, I still have the F-body pan (and windage tray, pickup, dipstick tube, nuts, bolts the whole setup). Looking to get $200 for everything, $175 for just the pan. E-mail me at mirovc@gmail.com if you want to set up a time to pick it up.
I was looking at hydraulic kits for the bender, but it doesn't seem worth it. A basic cage has 10 bends, and I plan on building 2-3 more for people before selling the bender, so probably just going to leave it as is. It would have been nice for building my cage though... 20 bends because of the NASCAR bars.
Coilpacks are off since headers are impossible to remove/install with the coilpacks protruding out from valve covers.
The steering angle is unnatural. Here's a clip of an S14 with the same spindles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5MX7vilhFI
Fuel pump, tank, filter/regulator, and lines are installed, just need to clamp the line to the frame rail and fuel is done. I'm not too happy with it. It seems like wherever you run the line, it gets close to the headers at some point. Tried it on the left side, right side... same ****. Ended up mounting the vette filter/regulator right by the gas tank and running -6 line up the left frame rail to engine.
Now just oil lines, mounting guages, wiring engine stuff, HP tuners action, and a few little things left to do before starting engine. If it starts with no issues this weekend, I'll be at e-town on the 25th and 26th trying not to hit that concrete wall on the banked turn

Thanks. Had a ton of oil/power steering/coolant line leaks to fix but hopefully everything is sealed up now. Going for a test drive tomorrow. Pics with bodywork on coming this weekend hopefully, first event next Friday!

So dune buggy drift car sucks... right? Damn right it does. Time for some body parts to go on.
This is how the wiring turned out. I have mixed feelings about it. Whatever. It works.
Seats and harnesses.
Fire extinguisher mounted on passenger floor. Can't reach it when strapped in the seat, but have no idea where else to put it that's closer. Open to suggestions.
A door. Can't tell the cage is in there from the outside... haha.
Awesome exhaust ground clearance... I estimated like 1/2 inch. Yeah, I need to rebuild this pronto.
Oh damn, time to go for a ride. Three days to break in the clutch before Friday!
