ct78155 sold me cracked up sideskirts.

I like your thread. Good luck on finishing.

Thanks! sorry to hear that, he's a good friend of mine and i havent known him to rip ppl off..

Really? I've heard nothing but good things from him. I have bought a bunch of things off of him. And i will continue to. He's upfront and even takes pics for me to show progress. Must have been a bad day.

James

Yup ima have him powdercoat a few things and you'll see them throught the progress....

I can't wait to see the finish look i really want to do this aswell but i'm just not the best when it comes to electrical stuff.

Its not that hard, you just have to have ALOT of patience and planning

Wasn't a bad day James, here is the feedback that this guy gave me when he received the sideskirts:
http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/itrader_detail.php?ir=6948&u=76368

I've got 100+ positive feedbacks on ebay and only 1 negative, which was resolved. Feedback on here, dsmtalk, and dsmtrader is ALL positive.
Maybe it's just me, but if I received damaged parts I would have filed a complaint with paypal and left negative feedback for that person......

Got pics of that head from Wess yet James????

Here’s all the unnecessary connectors from the ECU harness

You must be logged in to view this image or video.

I finished up the ECU harness by removing all these sensors/connectors and i rewired the Power Transistor/injector resistor box to the lower end of the harness (Inside the Car)

* Manifold Differential Pressure (MDP) sensor
* Auto-Cruise Control Vacuum Pump (Cruise Control Actuator)
* Fuel Pressure Solenoid (FPS) Valve
* Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Control Solenoid
* Brake Fluid Level Switch
* Theft Alarm Horn
* Turbocharger Waste Gate Solenoid Valve [Boost Control Solenoid (BCS)]
* EVAP Emission Purge Control Solenoid Valve
* Air Conditioning (A/C) Compressor
* Fuel Pump Check Connector

Dam dude you have patience, too many wires for me. Definitely going to look alot cleaner now......

I live in Central Florida and I cant live without heater either or I wouldve taken mines out.
40-50 degs can be cold in the mourning and at night, especially when its 70-80 in the daytime and it catches you off guard.

 

[gsxAWDdsm692]

at first I thought you Dynamatted your firewall haha

 

[Lofty]

Was that a rockstar catch can?
If it was, that's the coolest thing I have ever seen.

 

[DSM_PWR]

Please tell me your kidding.... right????

Looking good though!

i wish i was but it gets insanley cold down here in Texas during winter, we even get snow/ice storms

 

[chris9149]

learn something new every day, i always thought texas was all year round hot hot hot.

 

[Detective Coating]

Love the build man, super clean! Are you sure you want to take out your power steering? That's going to be a bi*** to drive around town.

 

[DSM_PWR]

Yea i never really wanted to remove it but my friend with a 1g FINALLY convinced me to do it...
then i found out they dont make Manual Racks for 2g

At least it will look clean

 

[Detective Coating]

Lol, yeah its not bad on a 1g but a 2g your going to be building some muscles up now .

What is the part number for the fuel fitting you got from Summit off of your sending unit? I snapped my line there so I need to drill that and run braided up to my filter. What size drill did you use to? Did you have to thread it? I take it your going to JB-weld that SOB on there for no leaks?
