congrats on the successful dyno session! how was it doing with coolant temps? I have a very similar setup in the works and wondering if my single fan will be enough to keep the temps under control.

.

I am running a single ford Taurus fan, that has been wired for high speed only. So far it has handled the cooling no issues.

looks like this

Update 4.19.21

took the FD on its first real ride to cars and coffee this weekend. Was nice to drive it, unfortunately my heater core took a dump on me on the way there.
found coolant inside the cabin on the passenger side. Going to buy the u-bend and bypass it for now.

other then that car was good and had fun seeing friends.
Pics below.

They really do. Some of the comments are great to listen to, a lot of people were surprised it was swapped and had a turbo.

7/6/21  Update. Hope everyone had a good 4th.

I haven't updated in a while, but I got a couple new things done on the FD.

Installed some rear suspension arms. Combo megan, battle version. After waiting 2 months for megan toe arms to arrive, I canceled my order and just bought some BVs. All installed now i just need to schedule an alignment.



Decided to do some interior upgrades and fixes.
1. Pulled my oem cluster and sent it off to Michael Gagne in Canada. He did a full repair on my cluster, fixed my ODO issue and installed Revlimter "circuit" gauges faces.
2. Coated my Cluster bezel, hood, and radio panel with "SEM Chip Guard"... love this stuff by the way.
3. Light sanded the chrome coating off the bezel glass, and polished it to a gloss black.
4. Installed a new suede/red stitching shift boots and ebrake boot.
5. Order some new HVAC stickers and LEDs from "blackcatcustom"
6. repaired a lot of stand offs on my oem panels as most had broken with age. 

















Videos of all these updates are on my Youtube channel, link below if you want to check it out and sub.

Who did you send the gauges to? They look amazing I've been trying to save to get some speed hut ones but this could change my mind if they function as well as they look

Looks awesome!  Whats the hole in the hood for? 

+1 on SEM Chip Guard it is absolutely fantastic, I have had it in my car now for over 5 years and it still looks new!  Even scratching some keys/laptop and other objects over it by accident and not a scratch!  Great way to revive any plastic parts.
