- Thread starter Road Pirate
- Start date
Thanks man 
I figured I'd get started, Chase Bays said their clutch line is out of stock till thursday, and my braided loom is on backorder till the 30th, so I just got to work on my drivers side harness, and removing AC and PS.
So first, I relocated the battery to the back, removed AC and PS
Pulled the headlight to mess with the wiring
Also removed the fender since the wiring will be going along side of it...I also cleaned it up a bit, it was NASTY
Removed the windshield cowl so I could re-route the one plug that goes to my wipers
Tore apart all the stock loom and wiring tape
Shoved the whole harness inside the car so I could mess with it in there to re route it
Then gave the right side a little repsray with some EBP paint
Lots more work to do, but thats all I got done today

good work bro, going to drop my EM1 by so u can do some work on my s**t
I'm all for it man thanks though, it's a lot of work and I havent really gotten started! haha.
thanks though, it's a lot of work and I havent really gotten started! haha.Looking good as ever man!
Nice work man, but I would avoid transactions with Chasebays. Seen lots of threads complaining that it takes forever for people to get their stuff and sometimes they only get half their order. I've only heard good things about Rywire.
Thanks a lot everyone
I'll be ordering a tri y header soon so I can use my cat again, so that is on the list
And I used chasebays for their clutch line and ground wires, thats it. They already contacted me and said my order will ship out on Thursday because of out of stock items, so I think we're good there. Everything else they got is a bit too pricey for me haha.

Damn! Why did you? And let me take some tomorrow, I don't have any current pics lol.
Well got some more progress done to the bay
Relocated my reservoir, fit great and doesnt mess with the bumper fitment
Used black braided line for the hose
Tucked my OE foglight harness, thats the ground over there, so I dont have to use the one on the radiator support
I have to keep the washer fluid, so I tucked the hose lol
Got my headlight harness completely tucked along with the HID ballast
Routed everything along the fender liner
Got my side marker harness all ready to go
Then I started to work on the plug for my wipers, so I drilled a small hole, cut the harness
Shoved the wires through, then reconnected them with soder, heatshrink and electrical tape, then plugged it on in
Routed the two wires that go to my brake fluid reservoir through there also, and then used the stock plug to seal the hole around the two wires and the windshield sprayer line
Cowl back on and you can barely tell!
More to come for tomorrow!

nice! good job with the wiper harness tuck. i was too lazy to do mine 
Thanks! I just did it really quickly since no one can see it haha. When I get to the engine harness on wires you can actually see, I'll be using my special loom and heat shrink, and doing it very neat
Thanks man. Yeah, decided to go with a 3" cold air.
Thanks guys
Well I didnt get much done as far as the car goes yesterday, but I did rip out the complete engine harness and brought it home. My loom should be here today or tomorrow, and I can finally start messing with it. Last night I was just stripping the harness of the stock tape/loom so I can re-do it. What a pain in the ass O_o

Well I didnt get much done yesterday, it was a really busy for me at work so all I could really do was pull the engine harness. I took everything home, and figured I'd start on it there.
So! While my girlfriend was drunk and talking to everyone on my facebook, I sat at my barstool and got to work. At this step, I'm just taking off all the OEM clips, electrical tape and loom. As I do that, I slowly labeled all the clips to tell me what goes to what.
I'll be making a diagram of all the wires and which color goes to what on each clip, so I can start depinning them and re-looming them in my new loom.
Lots of damn work, but it's pretty simple I guess. You just need a LOT of patience haha.
I'll be doing more today, and I'll post up some pictures.
