Couldn't have said it better myself lol. I HATE wiring, specifically troubleshooting a problem. I currently have a stock harness that I stripped down into a single turbo harness and it's working fine, but I love the idea of the QD haha. Thanks man! Looking forward to seeing this project finished. Hoping to make it to SevenStock this year too so maybe I'll see you there if you go.

 

Been following for months, very inspiring build man, nice work so far, I'm in the middle of gutting the interior of my Fd and that carbon wrap caught my eye, I finished the console and 80% thru the ac/heat controll plate, that's some tedious stuff but your pictures help a lottttt I'm praying on pics of the cluster, as I will definitely need some visuals to finish off that bad boy, i look forward to your progress, good luck!

 

Looking good! The Mill Spec wire harness is a god choice. For those asking on pricing, expect to pay 900-1100 for the above set up....

 

I'll give ryan a call tomorrow morning so he can give you guys a nice detailed update on the harness!!


Things I'm dedicating myself to over the next couple weeks:

primer Engine compartment and get ready for evan to spray
Have Evan Paint the engine bay
Pull Teflon tape off fuel filter fittings
order New thermostat
order rear Tranny seal

 

Im seeing my name a lot... my to do list is growing.

 

lol... I need you

 

just read the entire thread - very impressive!

 

Alrighty guys.....I talked to Ryan and he's working on vendorship here on the forum But this is how I feel about the harness he did for me.....


and heres a much better picture of it... I love how he did the 90 degree boot right out of the fire-wall enabling me to route the harness towards allt he plug destinations without bending or kinking anything. It also keeps the harness further away from heat and puts less stress on the bends.. Loving it!! more pics soon!!

 

Can ryan do this with any harness? like one for a haltech? because that is one sexy harness lol

 

After working with ryan... I doubt there is anything he CAN'T do... I really mean that. The guy is a Workaholic..and if it doesn't exist.. he'll make it

 

Sounds like my kinda guy! lol is pricing reasonable?

 

this was worth 25 min of my life to stop and read this thread.nice build.

 

nice thread

 

ok so I just can't seem to decide on a set of wheels but these are all in the running:

Advan RG-D
Work Meister S1R 3pc
Enkei RPf1
Garson Dr302's ..if I can even find a set
Advan TCIII
Work Emotion XD9

Sizes will be:
18x9.5 up front
18x10.5 in the rear
Spacers all around depending on offset
i''ll upload some pics just so it's all on one post
cost is a deal breaker...and if I can find a set of wheels for cheap..I'll jump on them. But I'm not opposed to purchasing new wheels. It's just my experience that i can save a crap ton with a nice set of used kicks =-)

 

RPF1s are easily the least expensive of the bunch, and they're good, light wheels. I had them for several years and loved them. The others on your list are really nice though. XD9s look really good in the right offsets. I'd never even heard of the Garsons before now haha. Does it matter how they're made...forged, MAT process, cast, etc? A lot of people say the Meisters are played, but I would argue the RPF1s are as well, and that doesn't make either of them any less good looking or reliable. A good thing about the Meisters is that if you dink up one of the wheels, as long as the center is fine you can just replace the lip. That's one reason I'm going to 3pc. I'm keeping my TM02s though haha. Actually, what about the TM02? It's an updated look to the RPF1 and it's more rare, but it's also not quite as easy to get if you mess one of them up. And they're a bit more expensive. But manufactured by the same place with the same process, and they're light too.

 

Just to put them all in front of the screen.. there are pro's and cons to each wheel.. size in width and Offset offered, price, color choice isn't the hugest deal to me but i'd like to stay away from black..

Advan RGD

Meister S1R 2pc

CE28N

Garson DR302's

Enkei RPF1's

Work Emotion XD9's

Advan TCIII

 

nahhh... dosn't really matter how they're made.. I've really pulled these wheels from the rest because i trust the companies.
hmm i'll give them a look...


You know the more and more I think about it I keep telling myself to stay under 2k for price.. because i'd hate myself if I wrecked a $600+ wheel. If only there were fewer wheels to choose from haha

Local guy has some RG-Ds for sale off his fd if you are interested.

 

RPF1s aren't the most aggressive-looking wheels, but there's no other wheel with a lip that's lighter and made by a reputable manufacturer. And they cost less than half of everything else in its weight range.

However,

I like the TCIII Advans.

The Work Meister S1Rs with the double-lip lip design also look nice, but they should have done the entire wheel GLOSSY BRONZE instead of just the lip half.

Either way, Mannykiller, maybe hold off until you're sure. You already have nice wheels. Maybe just hit your existing kicks with some GLOSSY BRONZE??

 

I literally just saw this.. ChaseBay is also working on a harness for the FD. I guess Rewire will have a competitor

 

I must say, I envy all the work and $ you've put into your build!

 

I don't know why anyone goes work meisters over the SSR's. The ssr's don't have that stupid curve at the edge of the lip that makes the wheel look smaller. If you hav 18's in the works, the face looks like 16's where the SSR's look like 17's.

 

^True story, I do like the SSRs over the Works. I didn't even notice much of a difference until recently, when I noticed exactly what you're talking about. The spokes of the Works are curved out and the SSR spokes are more flattened.

 

WORK Wheels FTW!!!

 

I love the face of the meisters.... And actually feel opposite about the flat face of the ssr's.. I don't like it One bit. I have already sold my old wheels because they just weren't the right size... I'm really liking the rpf1's, rgd's, s1r's, and ce28n's
