What do we say to a $700 RyWire Harness?


Finally finished soldering and taping my harness. I am still going to order blue adhesive lined shrink tube and black wire loom mesh to dress it up a bit. I have 8 open spots on the plug just incase I need to add something later. I am waiting on an OBD2a dizzy plug for the harness.

 

Fuel rail fitting came it today.

 

Got the coolant plugs and timing parts today.

 

Tightened the coolant fittings and im happy that they sit flush. I installed the timing components and adjusted valve lash. Tightened the valve cover down. Just about done with the engine except for a few small items. I welded a bolt to the firewall to mount the proportional valve. Im thinking about soldering the firewall side engine harness plug.

 

Well my boss gave me a few days to work on it so a lot of the body work can be done. Im getting into the wiring though.

Soldered on the obd2a dizzy plug.

 

 

Firewall side engine harness done. I de-pined most of the plugs so i can feed it through after paint.

 

More filler in the bay.

 

Hopefully im not done with the engine and trans before the engine bay or else i may give up on the engine bay.

 

finished applying filler. Just need to carve my e-bay out now.

 

I ordered a bunch of parts from honda, got them today. Transmission is done and mounted to the engine.

 

Can you see any difference or am i just discouraged?

 

Primer Tomorrow. Paint hopefully monday.

 

Masking started...

 

Primer

 

Going with glacier frost instead of concrete grey for the engine bay. I think it needs a brighter color since the engine is so dark already.

 

Applied red putty to smooth out small defects today. All thats left is to put a thing guide coat on and scuff it for paint. I may put a bit more red putty on tomorrow. New paint computer is coming wed. So no paint until then, cant mix.

 

More putty and guide coat. Going to sand again tomorrow and paint.

 

Ready to paint just waiting on the new paint computer. Old one went down recently. Once it comes in just mix and spray.

 

Mixing! Had to drive 60mi to our other shop for paint...

 

Famous last words?

 

Here's the semi-moneyshot. It will look a lot different in the sun tomorrow.

 

Hit it today. Engine mounted. Clutch master cylinder, brake booster and mc, electrical connectors, brake fittings, suspension, throttle cable, etc...

 

Got the headlight/corner light, radiator fan wiring done. Bolted on the fenders and bumper. Welded some plates in the center console to better the auto to manual swap. Repined the plugs for the engine harness. Next im going to order the parts for the battery relocation and brake tuck. So i can put the interior back together.

 

I got black mesh loom and blue heat shrink to finish my engine harness. Give or take $30 from frys electronics.
