Thanks BRAH!

Now not only am I doing this in a storage unit... but this POS is parked in front of it...







Got some stuff done before that though..








Basically all engine sensor wiring has been run, now I need to solder/shrink to connector and I'm DONE with engine wiring. Still need to tuck/protect it after that, but won't be doing that until I know the wiring is good


I know I"m going to get a face full of haterade when I mention this... but headlights will be fixed in the up position.. yea yea aerodynamics, it looks ugly, blah blah blah... I like it FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

Not perfect, but simple. Only what is needed is there. I added to extra wires for my oil temp and eventual EGT stuffs.

---- just got real.














Tach will go in the middle. Have not decided where my speeedo will go. The two empty spots will soon be coolant temp and EGT. And by soon.. I mean after it's running.


Panel on the right will house my Ignition switch and push start. As well as accessory switch. Probably lights and turn signal (turn signals will go down by the shifter so it will be easy to reach... thinking about doing a time delay type deal with just a button... press it and the signal goes on for 20-30 seconds. Might get annoying at left turn lanes at stop lights.)

If I had a way to weld and better work space I definitely would. Right now I'm working out of a storage unit with a spotty power outlet located outside and about 10ft away.

Tach obviously still needs to be mounted. And only 3 of the gauges are there, but you get the idea.

I've been getting the MR2 ready for sale. I finally got the roll bar off, had to pull the gas tank (FML). This weekend I'll be out of town. Next weekend I'll be meeting Tom to drop off his new Fit and get my new NB. I'll try and get in there on Sunday.
