finaly got an XJ 99 limited with some stuff

[sardo_67]

Gasket and some RTV, doubler is on for good. Limited time today so this is all I was able to get done. Need to get parts for the vent as well as the 205 vent.

 

[sardo_67]

Gear oil is in and everything is sealed up. Ready to go in

Primer here but it got flat black soon after, floor is done. Just need to make 2 holes for the doubler cable and trans.

In for good this time.

Poor life choices.....

 

[sardo_67]

Back on its feet to check ride height.

And I need to adjust the hell out of a few things then slide the lower coil bucket back an inch or so.

 

[sardo_67]

It moved. Heading north later today so I can get the brakes plumbed and electrical all set.

 

[sardo_67]

Gonna head north tomorrow. Electrical guy is going to work on it and I'll get the brake lines plumbed.

 

[sardo_67]

So god damn close!!

Brake lines are hooked up, still need to be routed and attached then

The hood is back on it as well, finally don't need to cover it with a tarp.

Power steering is set up, need to make another 2 lines and plumb it into the cooler.

Are you running a return line off the fuel rail or is that your feed in the front?

I'm setting mine up (granted, in an M3) to only run one line from the corvette regulator to the rail.

 

[sardo_67]

Yes I am running a return from the rail to the regulator return to tank.

After I did all of this I learned about the single feed in vette rail. I was like "oh god dammit".

Seems like a much easier way to set it up.

Not finished but it runs.

well after months of other crap going on and getting a real job I finally got around to figuring out the wiring harness issue. the green wire on the crank sensor plug wasn't crimped in correctly and was shorting out causing a crank with no start issue. ordered a new pig tail off amazon for $25 and spliced it on, turned the key and VROOM!! started right up and blew all kinds of shit out the exhaust since it was all loaded up from cranking.

working on cooling now and need new radiator hoses since I used home depot elbows.

I've had decent luck so far with the cheapo silicone elbows you can buy off ebay.

Wow that things large and in charge! With that much tire I'd imagine you're going to stomping around field and forest....
