soldered in a new connector and replaced coil harness. got too dark to take pictures. car runs better but still has a serious issue with starting.

 

found more chewed up wires.. probably the root cause.
all 3 ignition wires were melted through and grounding out on the sheilding.

repaired that section of wire and still no change. found more hot spots at the main plug by the battery. probably best to just swap out the harness at this point.

verified that the ecu was not damaged by throwing it in a known running car and it ran pretty well. way better than in my car so it still has to be ignition components or wiring.

ordered new coil packs, coil harness and im going to swap out the ignitor. also plan on poking the wires against the diagram and verify that i have no more wiring issues.

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so much fun..

 

Sorry man, hang in there!

 

yeah im not discouraged yet. not much else i can replace at this point. pulled a comp test and over 95 even on all faces and both rotors so break in is going well and engine itself is healthy. just an electrical gremlin that i have to chase away.

 

blame the stancebros!
i bet a tire rubbed that harness ever-so-slightly, then boom, you have an intermittent electrical problem. i'm surprised you didn't blow a fuse though (EGI fuse?) all of this stuff is fused for a reason.

yeah the engine is fine... just put the new harness in and get down!!!

 

more burnt goodness; doesnt even register on the multimeter

ignition condenser

 

Nice job on the rebuild. I will starting mine very soon 😥.

 

fixed it

 

got the car sorted and took it out to the race track to hang out with some good friends. 200 mile trip throughout the day and ran beautifully..

 

wheels got shipped from asia today. hopefully they make it here in about a month


besides wheels and tires and a few little things to clean up here and there, i think she is complete.

 

went up for a canyon cruise. canyon was surprisingly empty aside from bikes. decided to play with them. they had a hard time keeping up in the twisties and i was just on ss595s. after we settled down, i tried to grab a few photos.


anyway. fun day. fun car.

 

Nice build, glad you have the electrical issue fixed.

BTW, I have some barely used secondaries with rail for sale if you are still looking for a fresh set.

 

another weekend, another canyon.

was accompanied by friends this time though.



life is good.

 

how did you test the condenser?

 

Looks like an awesome area you're in. Nice work on the car, too .

 

multi meter. ran ohms from pig tail to ground first. it should show a reading and slowly work back to 1. then run voltage and it should slowly leak from anything to 0. mine didnt do anything either way so i just replaced it.


thanks. i am lucky to live in the mountains but i wish it was more green like north east/north west.

 

everything is still running well. car is such a blast. ran into this today. was fun

 

after two months of waiting, my wheels showed up.
i knew that they were used but they are a bit more beat up than i had expected. time to tear them down and powder and polish

 

Looking forward to seeing how these turn out!

 

here is the wheel build














have to get different lug nuts to run the center caps but i was too excited to wait

 

Looking good liking the clean look

 

Wheels came out great .

 

Those wheel looks awesome with your paint. Nice work!

 

are those 17 or 18? they look great!!

 

Wheels look fantastic man
