you guys are great

yo yo yo wasssabi sfphinkter mobile. which day are you participating in? I'm considering doing both but I don't want to poop out too much abuse on the car. 6/10ths one day plus 6/10ths on day 2 is more tenths than I'd like to do! ack! If you want to make a project out of this, I too have oil temp, oil pressure and water temp guages/senders needing to be installed.

Here's mine. I kept some slack in the braided stainless steel hose to allow for vibration and engine movement. Since this photo was taken, I replaced the steel braided line with a direct connection one minus the teflon entrance. I was noting a bit of oil leakage due to the temps outside (below zero) and expansion of the connection so I upgraded. No problems since. Very costly but worth it. No current pic but here is the original which would be fine in most other areas of the country. Because of the high rpm's common to the F20C, my head mechanic recommended isolating the sender. Since his own car built from the ground up is nipping at the 8's in the 1/4-mile, I figured it would be wise to follow his advice. He loves working on my car. The Honda dealership refuses to do any custom work, even changing the intake though when I bring it in for on oil change, they love to see all the newbie mods. Go figure.

rick hessel has a digital gauge set up, but it looks like his site is down at the moment.
