This weekend we spent two solid days at the shop. The exhaust manifold has been wrapped down to the catalytic converter with heat wrap. I’ve shielded some of the heat venting directly into the underside of the intake stream. Hopefully my under-hood temps will go down.
Along with adding a K&N filter I replaced the 1996 oxygen sensors. 22mm wrench + 400ft/lbs of force = easy off. 
Plus a host of other things on the to-do list got done. We mocked up the carbon fiber co-driver pod. This will house the rally computer, oil and water gauges, and possibly a small fuse panel. I mounted the kill switch on a sturdy bracket where the radio was. I’m going to use a carbon fiber plate to make it look much more professional. *bling **cough
While I’ve been under the car, Christine took the time to vacuum out the interior, the seats, and all the dry lake bed we brought home with us from Jean, NV. This ‘moon dust’ goes right through the shop vac, and leaves a nasty mess when wet. I can actually see that the inside of the trunk is indeed ‘red’ not ‘beige’.
