stripped and relocated my body harness today.. well almost got it done today.
what a gross sloppy mess of wire harness and surely one of the biggest eye sores of an fc engine bay.
anyway. picture time
junk pulled off
cleaned up harness
planning the layout
finished harness and showing how much cleaner it looks on the drivers frame rail with all that bs out of the way
i wanted to go through the upper frame but after drilling the inner hole, i saw that there is too much metal inside that channel with no easy way to get around it so i was forced to continue to the outside of the rail and then back in through a stock stamped hole
still have to make a bracket for the fuse box and put it near the clutch master. still have to clean or rebuild the charging harness and starter/battery/power harness and then tidy it up.
came out really well i think but it kicked my butt and took the whole afternoon to do.
thanks for watching

i need to get this thread moved to the build sections..
engine bay finished besides a few little nit picky things. wire tuck is a must for all fc owners.
hung new exhaust today. not quite sure how i feel about it. will probably keep it around for a while though.

also my MR2 electric ps pump arrived so need to make a bracket and get some lines done and wire it up. just gotta figure out where i want to stick it.

made some progress on the hako
also garage has changed slightly with the addition of another rotary
this mild winter makes for a busy homestead
waiting for some turbo oil/water fittings to show up then i can finally start driving and tuning the fc.

Pure Awesome!
Love the IC, your v-mount has many similarities to mine. One key difference though, where did you get that AST!?!? I need one bad, as I currently have a jumbled mess of u bends flex hose and screw clamps connecting my thermostat housing to the rad inlet.
Also, this wiretucking business is seeming more and more like a necessity...sigh...more work to do.

if only I could weld....
Rotaryworks has a similar looking item in their (gawdawful) v-mount kit. I'm surprised they don't sell it sepearately as its probably the only thing of value ....maybe that IS the why? lol

i think their stuff is ok. maybe for fc guys its ok. i know fd guys are like zomg i have to do work? **** that, your product sucks. but i mean, you have to think that these cars are over 20 years old by now. a million different variables are in play from car to car, especially when we are talking about things that are supposed to be bolted to the front frame work. maybe their stuff isnt clearanced well or maybe they just have qc improvements to make but still. they sell a lot of budget bang parts that would cost me a ton of time and money to make.. or a little bit of time and money to massage their stuff.
went to orileys today to get some bits for the fc. ran into some kind of corvette convention. i chuckled at all the 60yo's in c4's.
tomorrow i will post my progress. my wallet hurts
