In the pass few weeks worked on the fuel system: installed a fuel surge tank, fuel filter and secondary fuel pump. All lines inside car were already installed when got the ti. Only needed to fabricate one hose under vehicle and install 2 bulk-head fittings for the trunk setup. Also replaced the in-tank pump with a AEM unit. Fuel supply system is pretty much completed minus a tray/bracket to hold the fuel pump in the trunk. Will wait until the final positioning of the battery to figure that out.

After that was "taken care of", took a couple of days to think and see what the harnessing and electronics were going to be. You need those thinking days sometimes.

Purchased the driver's seat this weekend: ended up with a OMP HTE-R. Nice fit for Patrice and me. We also found out that we will need to modify the steering hub and one post in the roll cage but not a big issue. Passenger seat is a older OMP WRC seat… I think.

This weekend started the wiring inside the car. Not my favorite part let's say but a nice comming along. Ordered a missing fuse board that should come in sometime next week. Still a lot of work ahead of us but we want to make things right so taking our time.

The biggest "happening" was probably tonight when I finally got the custom ignition wires. Wow, 3.5 months of waiting… Was I happy. They look amazing. Custom Moroso wires with ford tower type connectors that will be matched to a MSD coil.

So things are moving up! I attached a couple other pictures for you guys to see the remote oil filter setup and coolant hoses.

Will post soon on the advancement of the electrical part. Feel free to comment or if you have any suggestions!

Cheers,

Jamie

Car was not sorted at all. A lot of the thinking and fabrication was done by Lee but car never ran with S14.

As far as the work needed, it's really not to improve it but ultimately to get it running at last!

Great car!

 

Those bulkhead fuel fittings you used in the trunk.. if they're for 8mm hose, do you have a link to them online or manufacturer/part number?

 

I tried for ages to find some the right size, but could only find ones too big or too small from marine shops.

 

Cheers,

The bulkhead fuel fittings are AN6. I just changed the trunk fittings (on bulkheads) with a 90degre female AN6 to barb to take care of bad kinks with the fuel hoses.
