I just wanted everybody to know I have a new car. I picked it up saturday from my buddy Dave.

I pulled it into the garage on sunday evening about 6pm with the intentions of going to the bar with some friends later that night. I should have snapped some pictures then. By 2am it was a shell.

I started to cut out the rear floor board, but my wife came out and said she could here me in the house so I called it quits for the night.

I am sorry I did not snap any pics before I thrashed the car, but you know how it is.
Went to Summit racing and spent just under a grand getting new stuff for this car.

Looks good so far!

Ripped out all the excessive wiring. Seat belts, rear defrost, and other junk. Same as before except I also removed the fuel pump wiring as I am going to put this car on a manual switch this time. With the dual fuel system I think it will work better in manual.

I wieghed all the junk from the last car. Sound deadening and wiring was 62lbs removed from car.

I will try to keep this post updated. I am only going to work on this car during the weekends. Don't want to kill myself like I did last time.

As a treat to myself I screwed around with the cage a little and it looks pretty good that the fox body mustang 10 point is going to fit pretty well

Please wire in an inertia switch inline to the fuel pump circuit. It's the other thing that can turn off the fuel for you when your upside down, or have taken a hit. Now that I think of it, the 1G system has a gravity type switch/check ball system back near the tank around the overflow stop unit IIRC.
I just read through parts of the 90 Talon Tech manual the other day and remembered something about this stuff.
