Looks good.
DIY Megasquirt is cheap.

The paint is for the engine bay, so it needs to be done before the motor drops in.

I don't think I have the time of skills to put together a DIY Megasquirt.

Dear Penthouse,



Today I touched my Tib after 10 months. I have to say it kinda felt good. My gf almost caught me doing it alone in the garage. It was so exillerating! I'm gonna try it again tomorrow.

Actually, yes I'd rather have it over mine, but I've got a ton of sh*t to buy for this project that's more important. Besides, I'd have to cut/weld on a flange for "big boy turbos".

This one should be fine for now. Just need to ceramic coat it.







Need to:

Paint FG hood

EMS

Rebuild Turbo

Fab up new exhaust



Probably more that I'm forgetting.
