Wiring is starting to come together. This is a rough draft of some of the wiring for the RECON Racing Mustang. Anyone have recommendations for wire diagram software? I need to make a digital version of the wiring diagram.

Installing an AIM temp sensor for coolant data log

Installing an AIM temp sensor for coolant data logging. I was concerned that using the plug on the left, the probe would be too deep and not give accurate readings. Modified the plug to allow the sensor to be recessed so the probe just barely sticks out. It turned out fantastic. Now it will give accurate readings... And it is lighter!

All the fluid systems are nearing completion. Almost ready to fill the Coyote with some @redlineoil! Made custom mounting for the @setrabusa power steering cooler. This positions the cooler in the outside duct on the Cobra front bumper. The mount is a bit heavy but it does the job for now.

Back at it again, slowly coming along. So happy to see the dash back in it. Dash has had some major weight reduction but I did retain everthing needed for the defrost to work. Using some cardboard to help fab some custom interior pieces.

Added some new capabilities to the RECON shop. This has been a long time coming. I don't even want to know how many of these machines I have purchased since I started tracking cars.

I am ready to start putting some work in on this beauty. I will drive this car on the track in 2023. It has been sitting for way too long.

Been some time since I was scared for my life. First time on a sport quad and I decided to go big or go home. Our Army Veteran team finished 2 laps on the 70mi @legacyracingassociation course. It had a bit of everything, high speed straights, tight corner sections, steep climbs & drops, sand and rock. The quad was fitted with a electric push button shifter, no rider on the team can work the foot shifter with a prosthetic. No experience with the quad or terrian resulted in quite the ride. I enjoyed every second of it!

On the podium after finishing the Legacy Racing Rebelution event this weekend in Utah. All riders are combat disabled Army veterans. We finished the race using an 450cc sport quad with adaptive controls for shifting and some other ergonomic mods. This is the first of many more off-road events!
