What's your secret about trimming the poke on the front bumper?
I've been looking to retrofit something more square and lower but no such luck.

Walter... Meet Larry

Sweet, love it!

American Racing Type A's? Woah.

IDK what they are

BTW no real progress, I finally moved all my stuff into another rental so I can park the GTI in the garage lol.

Just felt like posting no new updates at the moment... taking care of some other stuff.

Thank you sir, gotta love wagons... no progress yesterday had to work late and took my father out to Chipotle. Totally worth it lol.

God I am retarded, while wiring more today I thought about the brown/gray wires and what pins they went to. I checked continuity between the wires and they checked out lol, the wires both go to the ECU pinout so it doesn't matter which attaches to what.

I got a ton of looming/wrapping/wiring done today. Should have the harness complete by tomorrow and it will be completely plug and play with my Cressida for a 7mgte.

No good pictures, but here is one of the Cressida connectors needed to be swapped, along with an extended wire that is used to switch on fans (I am going electric) when the thermostat opens.

Small update:

So the harness I got with my ECU (we will call it harness A) had about 35 wires cut from the firewall grommet to where it started to split for sensors. I found a harness at the junkyard (harness B) that was hacked up but had the section harness A was missing. Tons of soldering FTL, everything went well but I have a couple of small issues I need to figure out first.

Two gray & two brown shielded wires (IDK if it matters which correlating wire they will mate to). Also have two red/black wires that I need to figure out.

Took a few hours last night, once I can figure out the mystery wires I will be looming it up in new wire loom I have had for a few years.

Thanks, I got another portion of the harness (junkyard hacked harness) I plan to utilize both and make a complete one. This will be hours of soldering fun and cancer!

[xispaki]

yep...they are very nice indeed!

Thanks, just went on a drive and I love them in the evening!
