Yep that's the only blue one.

And dammit my car is dripping oil again. I'm beginning to think it is from one of my oil gauge sending units. Such a PITA.

Yea. Check to see where its wet and go from there I suppose.

Matt, check the base of your oil filter see if theres an sign of oil on it. My sandwich adapter plate wasn't fully tightened and was leaking a bit. Just needed another 1/4turn and it sealed right up.

[Darius]

I'll check that too. It doesn't leak when there is no oil pressure in the system (like if I wipe it off and wait for it to seep thru again).

Hey guys I cant seem to locate the IACV maybe im looking in the wrong spot? Any help would be great

[Darius]

The air regulator (IACV) hides above the oil filter and underneath the #3-4 runners. You can't really see in there to shine a light on it, but just stick your hands in there and feel around for the male part that the plug attaches to. It is on the end of a long finger-like appendage "pointing" towards the rear of the car.

More pictures taken today.

And on the dam of a nearby reservoir:

man i love that car. Its as sweet on the outside as the inside (under the hood).

However, all i can hear in my head is, "must...drop...car...lower" :P

Looks great Matt, job well done on the whole car.

I like the ride height, doesn't look like he is scraping going over stuff. I love my 4x4 stock S14 I drive everyday lol.

[l0nestar]

Very Nice! How Much?

Matt, what wheels are those? They are pleasing to my eyes!

I totally agree. In order for that to happen, it will need a fender roll and slight pull on all four. I can't camber the wheels in because traction is already a major issue. I'd rather ride at a slightly raised ride height than sacrifice grip.

The wheels are 18x9 +24 up front and 18x10 +22 rear ebay mustang wheels. I am thinking of machining 5mm off of the rear wheel hub face (+27) so they fit under the car more. And the next set of street tires will be 275s.

Mustang wheels!
