Looking good man. Bay and work is real clean. Why did you choose to do the pillar bar like that? Could be a knee exploder during a collision. Better pad it up I guess.
It's always broken.

the plate holding the ecu and fuse and relays is hinged to push up out of view with enough slack in the wires to bring the unit out of the vehicle so you could work on outside the vehicle

Hey bud its Nate. It's looking good but if I was you I would drop that Autometer air/fuel meter and good one that actually works. you can't be cheap on those things. It's insurance for your motor.

I sealed my s13 rack converting it to "manual" and I love that thing :)

Was going to do the same to my s14 but this power steering stuff is kinda nice ;)

I had a power rack first lines all started to leak so i replaced them with high pressure lines about 120 bucks then the rack took a crap so i popped it all out and put another in leaked again....from the rack not the lines so i decided i would make it manual rack and tore all the power stuff out sealed it up and it turns like a bear so I bought this rack which if you knew anything about appleton racks they cost about 800 to 900 dollars so i think thats enough to say there you get what you pay for an awesome responsive rack that you can turn with your pinky..... power steering is over rated in my opinion I get a better feel with manual just prefernce just like how you like power steering everyone is different,....and that afr gauge was just laying around so i had to get it in the shot lol
