I HATE WIRES!!!!!
I am tired of fulling with all this wiring crap...shew..
anyways today the only thing I really did was fix my ecu wires. They were ugly and done sloppy. I have been wanting to fix them for awhile now. Well heres some pics.

Here is a before of one of the wires to show you how it looks. It was just wrapped up in black tape.


So heres after removing the pins and cutting them, which I had to cut really short because there wasnt much room.

Here it is extend and heat shrink ready.

Here is what they looked like when finished...MUCH MUCH BETTER.

Another shot how I left them tonight...


As you can see I really didnt do much it was just tidious(dont know if spelled right) work.

 

Tomorrow I will be soldering up my passenger side. I have all the wires ran together they are all ready to be soldered. Soooo it shouldnt take 10 mins.

Then I have to run my power wire and fuse. I havent looked really yet on how or where I am going to put my battery in the trunk. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

There is also 1 wire left that I need to extend. The only problem is that I dont have that gauge wire that is used. You can see it in the picture above...the very first picture that has my fuse box in the background. Its the ground that goes to my starter. Anybody got any ideas on what they did to get that wire to work.

Thanks for looking

 

Cool. Glad that worked out. I agree with you, wiring sure is tedious.

 

Man I hope mine dosent need any wiring cuz that jus dosent look like any fun to me.

Well the thing is that it is a bigger gauge then any wire I have. What kind of wire did you use to extend it and where did you buy the wire from?

No this wire is bigger.
It looks like a 8 gauge or something.

hmm .. idk then</TD></TR></TABLE> No its not the ground. It goes from the started to one of the main plugs. I traced the wire to see if I could get more wire when I unloomed it..but no luck.

 

Here is the wire I have left...I pulled the little boot back so you could see. I cannot find any wire that gauge around here...grrrr

 

yeah dude thats the ground wire for the starter lol

its probably a 16 or 12 guage wire let me go check mine real quick

disable fuel and spark and turn the starter over a couple times then put the fuses back in and start the bitch up!
