Re: Tell Us What You Did To Your EG/EK/Del Sol Today
Pushing around a car on 4 of those can get tricky at times after a while. Vehicle weight notwithstanding, those casters eventually decide which way THEY want to go....and it's usually not where you're aiming them. Been dealing with them for 10 years now, and I found that a second person makes those issues practically nil. Good luck man.

Currently using two, and it's pretty easy. Will probably buy two more to make it stupid easy.
I pull into the middle of the garage, jack up the entire back to slip the skates under the rear wheels, then lower into them. Then grab the spokes on my right rear wheel to swing the *** around. I can then use the steering wheel to crab walk it tight against the wall.
These are Harbor Freight $44.00/pair car dollies and they roll so well. I'm just trying to weigh the ease of four skates pushing wise against having to jack the rear *and* front to fit four skates as opposed to just one end of the cars with two skates.

One manning a car with four of them can be difficult, with two it leaves you in better control with only 1 person.

00 Civic/ B20z. Adding a few extras into it while I’m at it. Hoping it will be nice. It’s the first time since Formula SAE days that I’ve designed one, and a lot more ambitious than the one I built from a used Y8 loom back when I did the swap originally.

I really like the mock up idea. It makes cutting the wire to length and adding ends easier than trying to do it in car. It's a 3D version of the harness board I've seen used in manufacturing.

I got my front end realigned this morning since I had to replace a cracked bellows boot on my steering rack yesterday, and I ordered a few different kinds of open barrel splices from Mouser.

Yup, another thing is to run most of the sensor wires to the distribution block thats under the intake manifold.

Thanks. It takes all of the guesswork and fiddling out of the equation. Then I can take it and lay it over a different engine to check my work or adjust for a different manifold or something (example, ect needs to be a little bit longer for a B16 head than it does for a P75/P8R head). Then I can measure out each of the branches, make a diagram, and lay that out on the pegboard.
Debating if I’m going to use the distribution connectors at all on this loom. They’ve been a failure point for me on the current one. I may just do internal crimps wherever I need to branch a power or ground.
