Update: March 9th 2014

This update is long overdue and covers a lot of ground.  The fabrication and assembly is complete as well as wiring the new harness from the Megasquirt MSII to the engine.  After a few attempts the engine started and ran.  Video here: First start upSecond start upThird start up and walk around.  As you can see the car is still very rough and the body panels have been swapped out with the RS4 body parts allowing a wider stance and the ability to run 10" wide tires all around. The engine has been started, idled, the oil changed several times to clean any thing out from assembly, and driven roughly 20 miles.  I have dropped the car off at the body shop to get the remaining bodywork completed and resprayed in laser red.  After this the only things that remain are test/tune, wiring the factory gauge cluster in to the megasquirt, and a few fuel system upgrades.  Body and paint will be covered in a separate post.
