I think you just remove the sensors (if you have something else to plug the holes with) and disable the CELs for the malfunctioning heaters + sensors in the long list of disable-able CELs. Never...

Could be a damaged wire run to one of those sensors, too. Could check that with a meter on the connectors and the wiring diagrams for the sensors in the EC section of the manual. But yeah, if that...

I see you left in the stock horizontal bar back there. I was planning to pull mine after the rear cage was in, figuring its contribution to stiffness has to be a rounding error with real bars in...

If I ever take the radiator back out I'll likely do the oil pump just as insurance (and water pump while I'm in there!), but I'd still be hesitant to run an otherwise-stock engine out to ~8K...

^ Yeah I'd put it back down afterwards too. On-track I often bump the redline and even peg it for a second or two, just because there isn't enough room to up+down shift before the next braking zone....

FWIW, I did remove the big rubber strip that seals the upper edge of the engine bay. I figure regardless of which way pressure/flow is going, more air exchange there has to be good for cooling.

Personally I think it's a good idea to leave the two main pieces in place, mostly to protect the bottom edge of the windshield from being chipped/cracked. You could trim the pieces down...

Yeah, but in TX every bit helps. Hell even if you had perfect insulation from the engine bay and exhaust heat, you're still fighting 100-degree weather coming in the windows :)

You could also look at stripping to the metal and putting in Lizardskin for interior heat shielding along the firewall + footwells (+ grip tape where appropriate), and then use reflective foil on the...

Yeah I'm pretty sure somewhere in the Service Manual, or in the directions for one of the sets of headers I put on the car, they talked about that. The "easy" solution (not that it helps you now) is...

Love the new photos, because now I don't feel like I'm the only one whose garage looks like that during a project. Sometimes it's hard to tell whether I'm just in mid-project, or someone set off a...

Gates has a 483 and a 486 (I forgot about that one earlier). Amazon.com has both, and usually O'Reilly stocks Gates-brand stuff in-store.

For the 6-rib dayco/gates stuff it's K060480 or K060483 or whatever. And yeah, I was shocked that 3/10" makes such a difference as well. I guess it's because the total length is so short now. If...

Re: hoses, yeah I hate the bypasses too. I'm running two long bypasses (3/4 for heater, 5/16 for throttle body), and then I bought a tiny 45-degree section of 5/8 to replace that little rubber elbow...

Re: belts, I ended up using a 483 size. I can barely get a 480 onto the car (unbolting an idler pulley), but the tensioner indicator ends up pegged over at the "almost too tight" limit. With the...

Well it's 3 lines really, but the true bypass is 5/8", the heater is 3/4", and then there's the throttle body line that's more like 5/16". I'm guessing the thermostat closes the true bypass as it...
