Default Added oil pan images

Here is the windage tray and new pick up tube, you need to make sure you put the oil ring on the pick up tube to ensure oil pressure.





Also you will have to source 2 additional bolts for the back of the pan which did not come with the hardware kit from MAST as stated in the previous post

Default Car shows in local SO Cal

Saturday presented itself as a usual day in So Cal at the Donut shop in HB but there were a few unexpected cars that showed.
For one this highly modified "whatever it is"


I have to say there is a lot of work put into this car, pretty cool and unique





Then there was this, I did not stay to see it leave but i am guessing they trailered the car.




That is the cool thing about this gathering you always get something different

Default Some final touches on the car

One of the last items that the car needed was a proper license plate frame. A chrome or a carbon fiber ones are so cliche' so I waited. Then out of the blue a guy walks into the shop advertising custom license plate frame. We took a look at what he was offering and the prodcut is very nice quality brushed stainless or polished stainless. We talked about what it would cost to do a run of parts so I decided to do a custom plate for all the LSA owners out there. I am looking for 100 people that want this plate for their ride. The cost would be $25 a plate plus shipping with the logo pictured. The logo is laser etched into the stainless and will not come off. Right now I am only offering the brushed stainless, I think it looks the best. So anyone interested let me know and hopefully I can get 100 memebers interested.

Default Dakota Digital OBD2 interface

While at SEMA this year I always visit the "Showcase of products" area, this is one of the best places to see what is new at the show in a small area. If you have never visited it is well worth it. Anyways this year I noticed multiple companies offering up a OBD2 interface to operate the gauges in the vehicle. The issue I have been having is the GM performace ECU would not provide a proper signal for the Tack to work. I have tried all the suggestions out there and nothing worked especially the MSD pickup that was not worth the money I ended up throwing it away. I just happened to visit the Dakota Digital booth and saw my friend Scott Johnson and we started talking and i mentioned the OBD interface and he informed that they have a similar unit. I obtained a unit the following week and installed it this weekend. It worked right out of the box and made my day. I have been trying to get this going for over a year and finally have the resolution. So anyone that has an LS motor and is having a similar issue try this out it worked for me! now i can do a burnouts and see the RPMS


The Dakota Digital STA-1000: Late-Model Drivetrain integration has never been simpler! The STA-1000 plugs directly into the OBDII diagnostic connector, providing a user-adjustable traditional Speedometer, Tachometer and Check-Engine output for your choice of aftermarket instruments.

Features:

Fully compatible with common aftermarket electronic speedometers
User selectable output of: 4k, 8k, 16k PPM signals, Sine or Square wave options
/-35% sed signal correction, compensating for tire size or gearing changes
Adjustable 4, 6 or 8 cylinder tachometer signal output
Check Engine light output provides a grounded (-) output to activate a check engine light of your choice
Automatically calibrated output for an aftermarket cruise control can be activated by making connection to the higher-resolution fixed VSS sensor
Small footprint measures 4-3/4"x 3"x 1" making it easy to hide

Default Great Ebay find

To those looking for a little bit of dress up for you LS motor I found this billet oil cap for 13 bucks on ebay with free shipping! Plus the anodized finish is unique. The same guy offers the same cap with different emblems for up to 30 bucks, not necessary the center emblem comes unattached and can be changed out. At least for me that is what I wanted so I can make by own custom emblem. Check it

Default Latest upgrades Heidts IRS

For anyone out there with the Hedits IRS here is an upgrade for the rear support plate that comes with the kit. My car was at a certain location and they decided to jack up the rear well they bent the cross brace for me and I was not very happy about it. So I decided to design and make a new pc that allows for a floor jack to pass under and lift the car on the third member. Part is CNC and has a anodized finish.
