Got more goodies in today
Chasebays clutch line and grounds, and also installed the header somewhat!

Let me know what you guys think

Oh and the clutch line is just hand tightened, just so you know haha.

will you just give me your car plz...

 

[CHILD]

not my car, i know, but why you'd put the grounds where u chose? The rear of the valve cover one is good, but why not mount the tranny ground on the rear of the housing and rear of the passenger tower.

 

[Road Pirate]

The ground placement is just temporary, I just wanted to see if I liked the grounds in the bay. Everything is coming off soon for a full respray and then I will get creative on where to put the grounds

Header looks good!

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks man

 

[donovan772]

looks sexy man, btw what paint did you use on your valve cove, been thinking about painting mine white.
oh and do you notice a difference in handling by not having a strut bar?

 

[Road Pirate]

^
Thanks man
I just used 500degree engine paint or something, haha. I need to re-do it cause i've messed it up so much doing this tuck.
And nah not really, I have stiff suspension all around, so one bar really doesnt make a difference.

Yeah I figured it out lol. I had to drop all the s**t to do it though.

Finally got my battery cable done

The box bolted down, the cables aren't connected yet lol

Dropped all this crap

Just so I can do this

All back together:

Firewall plugs installed

Alright thanks, oh and man I wish I had those wiring skills, a battery relocation would be awesome move clutter and i dont even have a battery tire down lol.BTW one more question was it had removing your cruise control? Can't really find anything helpful.lol

really don't have to disconect it from throttle or something, but yeah x2 on this build and CHiLD's

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks a lot fellas!

As far as the cruise control, there's 3 bolts, take those off. There's a clip for the harness, disconnect that from the cruise control. Disconnect the vacuum lines, and plug the vacuum line off the backside of your intake manifold for the cruise control, and then take the cable off. Just go underneath where your pedals are, and you'll see the cruise control cable, its really easy to remove. Just make sure you don't accidentally take teh throttle cable off haha.

Hope that helps!

what hole did you go through at the firewall to run ur battery cable? i dont think i have a clean choice in my 5th gen, i think ill have to cut a hole probably.

 

[Road Pirate]

I just used the stock cutout hole where my secondary 02 goes, it's right by my cupholders. So almost the whole line is in the car, except a few feet from the hole to the starter. I'm not sure if EG's have it because of OBDI but I guess you can always check.

 

[CHILD]

naw, i dont have it. only 1 O2 sensor. grrrr. Everything is lookin super fresh though.

 

[ekracer_83]

love the new paint and the motor. very nice.

 

[Road Pirate]

Thanks man!

And yeah, well its an easy place to drill a hole if you want to run something like that, just do it as far forward as you can. Plus, since your just going to run a battery cable (2G), it doesnt need to be that big
