Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

I know I'm not supposed to post without pics, but I'll answer your question.

I'm gonna go with 2, dual digital gauges. one will be oil psi & water temp in teh stock water temp location and the other will be Fuel Psi & voltage I think in the stock oil psi location.
I will go with the NGK and set it on top of the steering column like I did last time, not 100% happy with that location, but I love having information on teh car and its the number 1 thing I watch.

Got the oil pan back on today and axles nuts off, tomorrow will be pulling the axle day and maybe installing new seals. I'm going to attack this bitch for an hour each day.
Oil pan goodness, tapped the 2 stripped holes, one was good the other still bad, just not as bad as before.

Keep that shit lingo out of my thread and go build an 8 sec. auto DSM!!!

Ok, now thats sorted to the update! with pics!!

So I finally got off my ass and went outside on sunday, not saturday or friday like i was saying I would, I needed that 60F day.
I installed my fuel pump, fighting shitty phillips screws the whole way I don't see why they didn't just use hex bolts or allen head bolts.
After making a trip after work to the hardware store I found a screw, but it had to be cut down to be the correct length.


I was going to use it for the fuel pump bracket that holds the fuel pump from the bottom. I forgot about this:


The grounding point for the pump in the assembly as you can tell it was fun trying to unscrew that, but now I'm short a screw!


Well almost, so that civic I just got I pulled the stereo out of and these were the screws holding the stereo in. They are the perfect pitch and length, plus they are a hex/phillips head so it should make for easy R&R.
Turns out I have about 4-5 of these! Oh well I learned that I need to dig thru my drawer of hardware before i make trips out and waste money, well kinda just more stuff for the hardware drawer.


So I did the most awesome install on the fuel pump, it included the stock sleeve over the power wire and the grommet covering the positive stud in the fuel pump assembly. I was really quite proud of myself considering I haven't done one in years and it was really clean.


That picture was to show how awesome I am at remembering the camera.
Yes I did not get one single pic of the pump installed in the unit and out of the car so we could see it.
On that note, I want to say I appreciate the interest in this thread I thoroughly enjoy reading about other peoples projects and I'm not really the person that likes this attention stuff, but between wanting to keep a record for myself and you all that I consider friends chiming in, it makes me want to keep going and do an even better job keeping a log on this.
