Okay, first off, hi I'm Christine. Picked up #300/2000 last february for a GREAT deal, took some things off and sold them, let it sit around until yesterday, finally started putting it back together. In brief, this post is both to tell you a summary of whats going on with my project and I have a question at the end about wiring. I'm also open to any suggestions on things I should tackle.
Okay to be more detailed... the kid I bought it from had it set-up for hill-climb. The car is EMPTY pretty much inside. He had it set up w/ a big 16g, evo injectors, s-afc, spearco fmic, TRE tranny, wiseco pistons, scat rods, billstein coilovers, tein tops. Decent set-up, not quite my cup o' tea as I drag race, so I'm looking for a lot more power. I sold the turbo, injectors, and afc he was tuning with. I know have an FP3575, vpc/gcc, 660cc inj. I have a polished DNP mani that came with the 3575 but the fitment issues were too great to keep it so I'm using the ported 2g mani that came with the car. I'm looking for a 44mm gate (thats the only thing I need now, see my WTB post if you have one).
Okay now I want this car to be more than just a racecar (I'm just throwing it together this week because there is a track day on the 10th I want to run at). I want it to be a CLEAN racecar with a hint of street (Im going to register it but not drive it a whole lot other than to the track and to cruise). Over the winter I need to do some serious cleaning up. I mean... there are holes cut into the dash for guages, hacked up wires EVERYWHERE, harnesses that go to nothing, the cage in the car is ghetto and not even legal for the track, the way it sits in there I can't even put door panels on the back doors. I have to put carpets in, a LOT of various interior panels. Swap a bunch of body panels, the hood is all messed up as it had flown up on the car (why I got the car for so cheap). The carbon fiber trunk lid fits very poorly and leaks.
Luckily I have a parts car outside so I have access to most of the things I need, but I don't even know where to start with all these wires. Has anybody on here gone through a wiring clean up in one of these cars and have a list of what some of my dangling wires may be (because obviously its not attached to something that may run, could be wires for AC or idk if it would be something to do with the AWS (it isnt anymore)). I mean they are everywhere... and I suck at electrical and at cleaning stuff (even the house haha). So I just don't know where to start with it! Haha. Okay any input in regards to my ramblings would be awesome. Thanks guys
