So you need to turbo it and convert it to awd for rally car sexiness. And of course the silly rear wing is required.

NICE! How did you run the wire? I don't want mine hanging out and getting caught. I might have to get one.

I do want turbo. Awd would be crazy lol.

I'll snap pics of the wiring later, also got my dash can in the mail, hard wired that in so it turns on and records when I turn the car on. No battery to go dead.

 

[RangerNielsen]

dash cam for them back road mobs in the rally car?

 

[6.2]

That, and the idiot drivers haha. I used my phone as a can a few times and got some good stuff. Also missed a lot so I decided to get a real dash cam.

 

[6.2]

Alright here's how I did the wiring.

Keep in mind I'm gutted so, really not hard haha. But if I wanted the interior pieces would go right over these.


Ultragauge.

And then my dash cam, I ran it through channel in the roof, down the side, behind the steering column, and I connected the wires to the power and ground from the stereo. So the cam comes on when the car does

 

[RangerNielsen]

Nice. I'm tempted.

So far then ultragauge has been awesome. First tank with it (after calibrating it) I got 36 mpg.

Before it best I could get was 34.

 

[RangerNielsen]

What do you have to do to calibrate it?

 

[6.2]

Just set the distance, and crap. So it reads and displays accurately.

 

[RangerNielsen]

Ah. I'm tempted.

But I have other priorities right now.

 

[6.2]

Yeah I had some spare cash from overtime so I grabbed one. It will pay for itself fairly quickly.

Bolts for motor mount came in, #RallyFocus will be back on the road tonight. Hopefully minus the clunking Haha.

Just ordered a battery relocation kit as well. Going to mount it in the passenger side hatch area. Even out the weight a bit more. Not really needed, but why not right. Do it now, rather than later.

Got her done last night. Feels good. More vibrations as expected but feels much stiffer.
