UPS delivers.... ADDCO rear sway bar

must be nice option wise to not have to have that kink to clear the fuel lines.

Well now that I've decided to have the fuel cell made I'm still having difficulty finding a supplier to provide me with a custom fuel level sender/sensor to allow me to retain the factory fuel gauge. SO far I've contacted SSI, Centroid, Fozmula, Gill Sensors.. it's becoming a royal pain. No luck yet, but hopefully I'll hear something promising by tomorrow.

On a better note I did succesfully purchase a set of Corbeau FX1 pro seats since last time CEG was up and running. Should arrive mid April as they were on back order. Will still need to pick up an FIA approved one to competitively race. I did find a seat I liked, which funny enough is made by Corbeau of UK, but is in no way affiliated with the Corbeau here in the US. However they have the same logo's and everything... crazy.

Is this done yet? I wanna play.

You could probably get someone to design a small circuit to convert whatever signal you get on your aftermarket sender to the same signal the stock gauge is looking for.

You'd need to go from 10-180Ω to 22.4-147.4Ω. I guess using a 6 point map the converstion would be y=0.7353x+15.047. So I would need a circuit to replicated that.

Could easily be done with a basic stamp module. I can help you if you need.

Haven't really looked into it to much, but a guy at work was saying something about a pic controller, which I'd need to build a small circuit board to use. I'd be interested to learn more about this stamp module.

Didnt one of the ppg cars have a fuel cell and if they did were they using the stock fuel gage or was it a diffrent on

I know right! Maybe I'll need one of these soon too...

Haha just found this one too... it's a prototype, but damn... (Link)

This is what my boy rides in.....

 

[KAOS_3.0]

what do you guys think of this one?

MOMO

 

[dlphnfn]

Don't plan on having 2 back there! My 5yo sits behind Mom and the 2yo sits behind me. HATES riding in Daddy's "fast car" because there is NO leg room for her. Surely not as much as my Sable or the Explorer.
Still watching this thread with delight!

Time to start putting in some interior to prep for roll cage installation... and UPS is starting it off right

Just sat it in the car for fun...

Those seats do look awesome, and match your paint scheme well! They look pretty comfy too.

Oh I sat in one while they were on the bench out front... they are indeed comfy. Very excited to sit behind the wheel with these.

NICE!

shame you cant get the rest of the interior to match them... or could you

I could actually. They supply fabric to match their seats to allow people to do just that. I however am not taking it that far. I'll probably do some blue accents on the bezels along with some CF parts to carry in some of the exterior look. Although I won't be re-upholstering the interior.
