Great job!



Stage 4 weight reduction: remove tumbleweed of wires from under dash.

 

Not a whole lot happened tonight because I played rugby until 730 but I had the time to diagnose why the starter was not cranking. In my absent mindedness I cut the trigger wire which is normally goes from the burglar relay to the BCM, I cut it and grounded it to a nearby location thinking that the relay had a 12v trigger.



I cannot emphasize how important a multimeter is to any electrical work.



As the sun went down I was able to crank the motor but with a week of sitting and running everything off the battery there was not enough power to start the engine.

 

This thread is making me keen in the pants. Keep up the good work dude!

 

Wicked engine bay tuck man! ..I can only dream!, I'll never attempt a tuck in my super crammed up bay lol... best beta turbo tuck i've see actually!!!

 

Alright the car is running again, turned the key yesterday afternoon and spent some time adjusting a few minor things. I am replacing the current 3/8 aluminum fuel hose with -6an braided hoses from fuel rail to tank, both feed and return.



Pretty happy with my work but there is more to come when a few parts and new wire arrive.

 

Props if you can get a canon plug on each side and a bulkhead fitting on the firewall for "easy" loom removal/replacement in the future.

 

Here is a little clip of the car after a good hard run, start/idle/walk about.
