Awesome to see this back, cant wait to see it finished. Did your car run at all with the rewired harness or did you replace the ECU before starting it. I'm asking because I did the same thing a few months back and my car hasn't run the same since. I have a feeling I might need to replace my ECU....fuck

After I totally rewired the harness, very little changed. The wipes stopped like they were supposed to, and the light's came back on, but the injectors weren't priming, there was not spark, and the fuel pump wasn't priming either.
I was afraid the ECU was blown as a consequence and it would be something else, but the ECU in my car was getting super hot to the touch when you would try to turn it over, replaced it and it runs just fine!
So in your case, could definitely be worth a shot. Just make sure it's year specfic if you can help it. I'm sure there's one swimming around on NASIOC.

So much respect and props on this thing dude! Not everyone can go out and put in over 100+ hours into a custom body kit dealing with school and everything else... i strongly dislike guys that spend a few grand on aftermarket widebody kits... so im glad this thing's custom, which makes it that much better

Hahahah thanks man, it's definitely tough doing it between school, work and a girlfriend. But I see guys on here that are building way crazier things with more going on, so I'm doing okay I suppose. haha
And there's nothing wrong with cool widebody kits, I just can't afford all that shit! haha

Going out right now to try to do something about those ganadors.

[DjGreggieP]

Love the mirrors, Have always liked that style, now I have to go on to ebay and see what I can find

[Strawhat]

HOLY FAK AN UPDATE?!?!
Yes, a small one!!!

Okay, so this thread came to a screeching halt around SoWo time. I was driving the car, making sure everything was still the same.
And I rubbed through some wires, grounded them out, ran into some HUGE electrical issues.
I am not much in the way of an electrician.
SO, after replacing the ECU this fucker drives again!

Thanks a ton to Mikey for helping me out on this.







These are today!
Car is back in the garage ready to get FUCKING WORKED ON!
Going to do some odds and ends.



Also, trying to make these RX7 ganadors I got fit on my Subaru. We'll see if I can do it!



Oh, and I got new seats. Recaro A8's which apparently are super cool.

Mine aren't in the best shape, I'm almost afraid they're reps but I couldnt find any replicas of them on the webs.
Anyway! Finally I have this thing running again.
The fuckery can finally continue!
