i know ive been slacking. but i have a few things to update.
car is still blocked in the garage
. my gf's parents are looking for the title so we can get rid of it.
i got an emissions notice. im MD its every 2 years, and i just had it done last year. but i guess they go by the due date and not the inspection date, i had it extended for like a year because i had the car out of state. so that means that i have to put the cat BACK ON and go get it tested again. a little annoyance.
i also got some dry ice and ripped out all the tar from the floor. still need to clean up the residue, but the bulk of the tar is gone. hopefully cleans up well.
and lastly, the wiring on my car is pretty bad at this point. the previous owner did a lot of stuff half assed. he just chopped off the ECU plugs and manually wired up the OBD1 plugs. plus with my additions over the years, its not nice anymore. so im starting over. i have a guy from h-t making me a custom tucked engine harness.
the harness will be just the engine harness from the engine to the ecu with a firewall quick disconnect. then near the ecu there will be a custom plug addedfor all the signals that need to go to somewhere else on the car (like VSS, Tach, etc). im going to rip out all the wiring and rewire the chassis myself. this will give me a chance to put in a switch panel, start button, master cutoff switch, and remove all the other unneeded shit. then ill have nice clean wiring
so the harness will be something like this:
heres some pics that the harness builder has sent me (he just started yesterday)
ive told him to give some more slack on the plug connections, but so far so good
