Thanks and I actually got this zinc plating kit from Eastwood and it’s not that bad honestly and it looks just like Oem but now it won’t rust. I need to make a build page...

I kicked the tires coz it threw out a check engine light for the second time... it does this usually on a very cold weather.

Did a video demonstration of the dual LCD 2DIN setup I cobbled together from Evos and Lancers of various markets to get access to gauges yet keep it all clean and factory-like.

What double din dash kit is that(with the hazard button on the left)? Here in Canada we have the hazard switch at the left of the radio. In USA the hazard switch is at the top of the dash(under the clock). I just bought a double din dash kit to put a 2 din radio(the Metra) and I need to relocate the hazard switch.

Replaced the vacuum lines on the back of the Magnus with spring clamps and little super glue. Did it with manifold on car, was fun

Went 4mm on fpr, map, Hobbs, and 6mm on bov.

The barb fittings have been in there for a while. The thread sealant on them looks a little old

On the vacuum lines I put a dab of gorilla glue super glue on the final barb notch; probably didn’t need any with how tight the spring clamps fit. Prior, with zip ties, the lines started backing off after a few hundred miles even two that had snugger 3mm line.

looks good!. I ended up switching to AN lines on my AMS mani. I would have done what you did, however I had mine all apart and just decided to go all out.
