ttocs Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks man. Between running AN lines, dicking around with fluids, and initially firing the new motor, it's more than I wanted to do today.The flush mounts are nice! I plan on going Al out with them like @ttocs did and smooth then into the hood. Gives a real real sharp effect.if you have a router and know how to use it I can send you the pattern I made to make the cut nice and tight. made it super easy.

RedTwilight Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 If you have a paper copy and could scan it I'd take a copy as well in case I decide to go with the flush mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 sad that it won't be there but you have quite a trip for an unproven motor. better to take your time and not get stuck in some backwater town hours from home. are you still coming down in the truck or just staying home?Heading out in about half an hour!

Tabres Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Bummer. But you're making the right choice. The minute you start rushing things is the minute you start making errors. This thread and many others can't help but make me think the banner of the site should be changed to "SN95Source.com - where everyone has a kick ass Mustang, but most of them don't run!" (That is not an insult. Mine was in stasis for 4 years, once) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det_Riot Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Did you get your AN fittings anodized teal and gold?!Lmfao no. Its actually blue and gold. I hate those ones, I just don't feel like buying new ones for that purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Psychorugby Posted June 10, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Lmfao no. Its actually blue and gold. I hate those ones, I just don't feel like buying new ones for that purpose They sure look teal and gold lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanter Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm with Psychorugby on this one its hard to tell those fittings are blue and not teal. Of course I'm color blind so I could be as far off as I always was trying to read resistor values in my electrical engineering classes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTwilight Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 They do look Teal in the pics. But I think it's the Teal engine bay color reflecting off the fittings. Thus making them appear Teal in the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95opal Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 a little easy of oven cleaner will fix them right up ,then they will be raw alum One of the best tricks in the book just don't leave it on for to long as its highly corrosive and will eat up whatever your usuing ist on if it sits to long. These are the typical red and blue 20AN fittings that Im using for the lower rad hose and even though they wont be in my engine bay I couldn't live knowing there on my car somewhere lol. So I stripped them down and polished them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Haha, I can only imagine how excited your neighbor was for you. I'll bet he came over and high fived you then handed you a cold one right? If I started my car up with open headers in my neighborhood at 9:45 I would have the entire neighborhood in my driveway with torches and pitch forks. I seriously can't wait to get out of here. They got off easy with my car being out of commission for the past 2.5 years. I'm just sad I wasn't able to get it done so I could drive out of the neighborhood when we move with the cutouts open lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Crank it up on the trailer?! Haha normally I would, but there are a few things stopping that from happening. First is I still have the upper intake and intake piping off the car because the lift plate is still bolted on... the K member needs to come back out for more clearancing and powder coat so there's no sense putting it all back together. Also, even though I thought I had the header primary clearanced enough to clear the starter, when I added the heat wrap, it added just enough thickness that when I cranked the header down, it is now cocking the starter to the side a bit and I'm not cool with that. So yea... no cool noises anytime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabres Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 So at my old house my neighbor had a modded WRX. We got on great, with me having a modded STi as a daily driver. This past Monday I discovered that some of my new neighbors are a married couple that are probably in their early 80's. Very nice people but the jury is still out on how much noise they'll tolerate coming from the garage/car. Back on subject, congrats on the start up! It sounds great! Can't wait to see this car finished up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
