is your car originally an automatic car or a standard shift car? the standard cars have a taller hump on the trans tunnel, that may be the reason why yours is rubbing and his doesnt

2:20am and I finally get a break
Here are a few pics of under shifter bracket



I mounted my computer inside what I think was part of the old radio bracket

This is how I trimmed it so the ECU would fit


I mounted it under the dash out of the way

I ghetto wired the fans last night(I will wire up the right way tonight) and added some trans fluid and took off down the block. I cant wait to get a few days off to iron out the small things. This is going to be a fun car to drive

I rewired my fans, added billet fuel rail and my gauges came in. I've been driving around a little, but until I "get" an inspection and registration sticker I'm limited to around the block. The car feel strong once the rpm's come up. Gauges and ls6 intake are getting installed this weekend if I'm not to busy.

I got my tune finished up today. No more stalling and driveability is better. Now time to find a nitrous kit.

I was data logging on the street and pissed off the local motorcycle cop... There goes 200.00 for a lawyer

Awesome!!! I'm planning to do a lsx conversion on my fox as well... I guess i'm gonna have to ditch the existing steering equipment?


Car already has tubular k member, 5 lug conversion, all that stuff. No ac.
