Bird's FFR Coupe-R Build Thread

I have 4 corner scales if you want to load balance the coupe.

Thank you for the offer. Dad had a set that I inherited when he passed away so I'm set on those...

In other news, the PDM and Digital Dash arrived the other day. Also got a keypad and dual oil temp and pressure sensor for it. This should really clean up all of that wiring. Unfortunately I'm going to be out of town this weekend. I'm dying to work on it some more. So probably the following weekend before I get another update out.

Forgot to add. I also ordered aluminum tube and a tubing beader to make the top water hose we were talking about. I found a guy that sells them but for the price of his I could buy the tube and a new tool and make it myself.

Ok, now I'm really interested! :)
 
Ok, was out of town a couple of weekends ago. Had to go out of town for work last Sunday but I got a little work done on Saturday...

First, I bought a $45 tubing beader on Amazon so I could make a coolant tube to connect the Ford hose from the water pump to the one on the radiator...

And it worked pretty well...

Got it installed...

The I started mocking up the location for the coolant expansion tank. I bought the one from the 11-14 Mustang thinking it looked like it was smaller. What I didn't realize is that I think the neck on it only fits the Ford 16psi cap instead of the 21psi cap. I think it will be ok with a 16psi cap as the boiling point for the coolant is still really high. But I'm researching that a bit to make sure...

Hopefully when I get home I can finish plumbing the cooling system and get started on the wiring.
