I installed this brace a few months ago. It was a real pain in the butt! It was near impossible to line up all three screws with the holes in the firewall. The area is so tight. If you have big hands, its even worse.

Swapped out the 100 psi oil pressure gauge with a 150 psi oil pressure gauge from SpeedHut. Everything in the interior is finished and back together.

Cold idle oil pressure is 105. Warm oil pressure is 38 to 40. At 2500 rpm. Pressure is 90 to 95. 3000 rpm, oil pressure is 105 to 110.

This is where I have the Warning Lights set to.

OIl pressure LOW Warning - 25 psi. HIGH Warning - 125 psi.

Water Temp LOW Warning - 140F, HIGH Warning - 235F.

Diff Temp LOW Warning - 140F, HIGH Warning 240F. At this temp. I can turn the pump on. If temps still go higher. Then I can turn the fan on.

The gauges record LOW and HIGH readings to review later.

You’ll get it back; just be patient.

Yeah, this is a 4 to 6 month recovery for normal actively.

I don't want to want that long.

Is there a reason you wouldn't switch to a true type?

Yeah, how much clearance I will have between the 345 sidewall and the coil-over spring. I don't have much now.

Walk softly, and ride on big meats.

Finally got around to putting the track decals on the back window of the Z. The decals I got are the 3" ones.

I put them in order of tracks that I've been on with the Z.

1. Pittsburgh International - North
2. Nelson Ledges
3. Summit Point - Shenandoah DE
4. Pittsburgh International - South
5. Pittsburgh International - Full Course

I have been thinking of doing the same but I don't know if I want to do the window or my wing side plates. I kind of like the wing side plates.

Depends on the number of tracks you've been to, as for how much room you have.
