HDP's Red R1

When my car was running, I had noticed a slight clunking sound coming from the hatch area and the sound was worse when fuel level was low. Since I was installing a new fuel pump, I decided to inspect the inside of the tank. I discovered the baffles inside the tank had come apart from the spot welds that held them from the inside. I managed to bend the remaining baffles until they popped loose. I then found some fuel cell foam to serve as baffles to prevent fuel slosh.

Moving to the interior, I added a few mods in addition to ones I already had. I didn't want a cluttered cockpit full of gauges and lots of bells and whistles, so keeping everything stealth was a must. I determined the necessary gauges and gadgets I needed to control and monitor everything I thought was crucial. Since I was upgrading the fuel system with bigger injectors, fuel pump and regulator, an in-car fuel pressure gauge was on the list. I also opted for a wideband setup for monitoring AFR and another boost gauge since my DEFI D-gauge had crapped out. Since I was replacing all the sequential solenoids with upgraded ones, increasing boost beyond stock levels while remaining sequential was now possible. To control boost I went with the Greddy Profec Type-S. Since it didn't have a display, it was basically a "set it and forget it" deal so I wanted to put it out of sight but still where it could be accessed. It had been suggested from others to install it in the DIN pocket under the radio, but that space was to be occupied by my Kenwood EQ (more on this install later in the write up). Others suggested the glove box, but I used it to store the PFC commander when the car is parked along with other important items, so that was out. I then noticed the location I had installed my turbo timer (A/C vent under the steering wheel) and figured why not there... so the work began.
