Shoulda used the right boot so it would match your left foot when upside down. 

I like the way you think, Dave!

I did that, originally.   

 

This pedal went with the tire tread dead peadal.

but I prefer the feel of the little wheel under my heel.

 

 

Edit -- Oops, this is the photo I meant to show, with the pedals " fully dressed "

I’ve been following this thread since I first signed up to this site 4+ years ago.
Today I finished a project that I feel is “worthy” of being posted here with all these other great accomplishments. 
I started rebuilding my brakes quite a few weeks back, working mainly on weekends when I had available time.

I rebuilt both front calipers, replaced the bearing & races and changed the 4 front brake hoses.

Next up, the rear brakes, which I hope to start next weekend.

Engine assembly - Crankshaft and rods, timing chain, oil pump all in... Getting oil pan powder coated.  New W&N engine hardware kit is NOT exact to my early model.  W&N new supplied 10mm Oil Pan Bolt kit does not have the 10mm oil pan bolt with washer and lock washer installed ?  - so going with what I pulled out - all of them are there anyway.  Ordered paper oil pan gasket from Blunt - because I have failed on the cork in the past.

After some fussing around with a stash of e30 pumps belonging to a friend of mine, I finally figured out that I needed a specific version of the e30 pump that provides high pressure.

 

I mocked up the wiring, got the level sender working, and was able to start and run the car. Sooo much quieter than the crazy big thing I had in there before!

 

Now to pretty up and finalize that rats nest wiring... Anyone have any of those 2 prong connectors laying around they don’t want? Otherwise I will just buy one, they are fairly cheap.

@flagoworld - Don’t you want low pressure, high volume? Or, do you have FI?

 

@fljjmarz - looks great! Hey, don’t be shy. I posted after installing rear belts (involves exactly 4 bolts).

Out with the S and in with the Q.  Using Severe Gear 75W-110 behind the S14.

Same as before,  transferred the ring gear, 3.90

[visionaut]

Were you lacking for traction with the S, or are you startIng a local hillclimb series?  ? I bet you’ll exit the local twisties with more giddyyap and grins!

 

Those Qs are drool worthy...

Sorry to ask, but for the uninitiated, what is an S and a Q? I assume S = one legger & Q = limited slip? Q for Quaife? Is a Q aftermarket for a 2002, or where they ever factory?

S = sport model, i.e. limited slip, clutch pack type

Q = Quaife

Were you getting slip, or just wanted some cool, new, sexy bits?

 

Or just better for hooning?

Fit tested the Getrag 245 with BluntTech Ultimate 5 Speed Conversion kit!  Dug out the shift rod seal.  Front and Rear seals next.

I found a depression in the money pit that needed filling.
