Believe it or not, there are not that many on the Teg. There is like 6-8 screws on the dash itself. The hardest part was the connectors for the dash harness going to the fuse box. That kicked my ass.
The conversion is almost done. just waiting for the steering wheel and shift boot. I'll post pics later..... |

Today started out slow but turned out to be great.
Around noon, Scott, the AEM Twin-Fire design engineer called me today. I was asked to test out some proto-type changes on the AEM Twin-Fire at the company's expense.... of course he had to verify what type of set-up I had.... I said that I dont mind, as long as I have a point of contact in case anything happens. He will be giving me his contact info so I can directly talk to him. I guess I'll take another shot at this Twin-Fire. I will still keep my MSD dist set-up tho.... For the rest of the day, after hours of thinking, I've decided to take apart my old integra seats, more specifically the bracket/sliding system. I wasnt suprised to see that the rails are only in 2 piece... the left and right side. After owning an aftermarket slider/rail/bracket system, I really wished to have the same functionality and ease of the stock OEM ones. So, I went ahead chop, grind, cut, weld, and grind some more on the stock rails. Then I fabricated a mounting bracket for the Recaro seat. I was so stoked of how it came out! Factory slide feel and the seat sits like stock.... which I really wanted. The Sparco seats sat terribly low and the my kitchen drawers worked better than the sliders it came with. The Sparco brackets also didnt fit right. One bolt was always off...... To get a 2 pairs of Recaro sliders and bracket, it would cost me around $250. I didnt spend a dime on this fabrication. The materials are scrap that I already have laying around my garage. Last edited by thermal : 06-09-2006 at 10:08 PM. |

The paint on the rails are actually black. The flash makes it look like tan-ish. I also welded beads on the corners of every 90 degree bends.

Good work. I really need to get a welder.
I like the gauges mounted in the bezel area. Looks good.

The third box is the proto-type that I received from the AEM Twin-Fire Engineer. As you can see, the wires coming out are "unpotted". I might just turn down AEM's offer since my current set-up is working without a glitch.

i havent done much crap lately on my Teg, since I bought my house. However, yesterday I got motivated and installed the Takata harness and Sparco harness bar that I've had for months. Once I get new tires, I'll be getting the camber professionally dialed... then head to the dyno....

^5 for Arnel. Everything's lookin' good as usual. When did you buy a house? Did you make a post with descriptions? I'll search...but only if you did..or else I'd feel bad about wasting time searching.
