Update On 2002Ti Race Car: Fuel, Seat And Finally Some Wires!
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
