So Stew is going through it and working everything out.. Lets just say first thing the harness was to short to reach some connectors, then it would not power on my PCM due to it giving constant power to were it should not. And then run into a issue with the starter..


But on a good not might have start up this weekend or early next week.

I have heard bad reviews of the chase bay harnesses aswell... It isn't that complicated of a thing to make, but they manage to screw it up often.

I am excited with you to hear your beast come to life.

Yeah. Heard nothing good about the ChaseBays harness either. Sucks they still don't have it together.

Best of luck to your guy for finding their issues.

Man, after all the money, time and love you put into this car, I would be scared to take it out drifting and possibly mess it up, I would probably garage queen it for alittle while, haha.

Yup heard the same bad reviews but you always think, "hey I might get lucky, or those people ****ed it up some how" Well nope that is not the case.. And you are right how can you screw something up that is pretty stright forward.

Come on, there would be no fun in having a garage queen now would it.. Don't you want to see pics/vids of this beast sliding side ways.. I'll try and keep it in one piece for you..

Haha don't worry spares will be had so it stays clean.. Also going to be making molds of both my front and rear overs so I can always make CF spares when needed.

Okay So a lil update on the start up.. Stew ran into some more issues with the starter, it was a simple fix so no worries there. Buuuut car turns over perfectly but will not start. So we are first going to address a few issues that may be causing that. For one get rid of this 3yr old gas.. nasty ****.. lol. Going to re-route my fuel lines so it is setup a lil better (time to order more fittings). And Stew has to weld on my new IAT bung and install sensor.

So once those things are addressed and have new gas in her we will give the start up a shot again. Now my only worry now is if it does not start, my guess is that the Coils are wired backwards or wrong in some way (again thank ChaseBays for that.. lol)



And I will leave this right here..lol


So I will keep you guys posted.

Dang, Ive been keeping an eye out for updates fb for the past year but its rad re-reading the whole build from page one until now.

Interior is so fresh dude, I love when people actually put time into the finer things on their drift car. Hope to see this done soon!!

I would be like a 5 year old kid on Christmas eve jumping up and down in excitement waiting for that car to start. With all the other work you have done, it should go pretty quick after it is running to get it driving unless I am missing something.

Yeah lets just say everyday I am screaming like a lil school girl inside, knowing each day we get closer to start up..


And the only thing needed after start up is to run my brake lines, lower the car, alignment and then dyno.

If you really want to stream it I believe you can use your phone or any webcam and stream it on Twitch.com
