Thanks Chuck and J&J for stopping over tonight to flash in my old tune for me. Looks like we have some work to do in that dept. Worked on the car all day today…But sadly all I did was chase issues and fix things. I expected days like this but its a bummer to not get much progress. So first thing I notice today is after I ran the car it was leaking oil. Well It was coming from the oil pressure sensor behind the intake manifold. Well I took that all apart, hit the threads with teflon and put it all back in. Good to go! Next I notice that both exhaust clamps were leaking. Some people might hate but I love the ish…Muffler and tailpipe sealer on them and reclamped. Good to go! Ok so the one productive thing of the day! Installed my coolant expansion tank and filled the rad with fluid. Good to go! Installed my gauge cluster and for god knows what reason I am not getting any readings, probably just something unplugged that I didn’t see. NOT good to go! Notice gas drops on the floor. Have to drop the tank I guess the regulator that should not even be mounted back there is leaking. NOT good to go! So tomorrow! Fix fuel leak Relocate some wiring that I think is too close to the headers Install the fans on the rad and make sure they are blowing the proper direction Extend and relocate a bunch of relays and shit i dont want near the driver fender to behind the front bumper. This should wrap up everything under the hood for now. Once this is complete it will be time to start the interior. I anticipate some headaches with wiring and such but whatever the fucking thing runs!!! Once i get all of that shit sorted out and final dumb shit like brake bleed and crap it will be going back to choko so he can fix his new paint that I am constantly ruining.(lesson learned paint AFTER project is done.) Then HEATERZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > Installed my gauge cluster and for god knows what reason I am not getting any readings, probably just something unplugged that I didn’t see. NOT good to go! Does the Cluster light up at all, any warning lights, or is it completely dead? If nothing is working I would check the 15 Amp “METER” fuse. If some of it is working I would clean the contacts on the rear of the cluster. Just use Isopropyl Alcohol and a piece of cloth. God knows if it saw moisture and oxidized outside the car for as long as it was out. Everything should be in working order though. If you still can’t get it working I can stop by and diagnose it for you. Let me know. EDIT: This may help…but the offer is still on the table. ![http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t167/llorentz/NYSpeed/cougarspeed/RX7.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/a/0/a01c96fc1716597d4471b279e2e1dc25962a3720.jpeg) ---
