Re: Project Fast Spyder

Wow that is very nice and looks hella cleaner then the stock wiring. After doing all that do you think it was easy with the engine out or do you think you can do it with it in? I am for sure doing this as a winter project. Another question what was the total cost so far of what you needed for doing that? And I like to see a far shot of the engine bay of it too. Looking very nice keep up that great work. And yes post more pics. And Get R done.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

I will get you a wide shot later on. The total cost for the wiring was...
extra wiring harness-$50(was not nessesary)
wire loom-$50(25ft of every size-ebay special)
Solder and heatshrink-$30
Elecrtical tape-$15
So Total about $150 but like I said the harness was not nessesary I though it would be but it wasnt. Also I spent a total so far of maybe 70-80 man hours doing it.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

For comparison, I spent 80 dollars on an engine harness from a 1G. You got a good deal on that harness, and anyone else buying one shouldn't have to pay more than 50 bucks.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

Yah it was pretty cheap. But this was for the fuse box harness, usually the one for the engine is more(with all the sensors and junk).

Re: Project Fast Spyder

How did you go about labeling the wires before cutting them? Did you use a certain color of electrical tape so that you didn't need to guess which wire matched up with which wire after it was brought back in the car? Black, blue, and brown look exactly the same and with the right amount of grease, any color can look like black.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

What you dont want to do is cut a bundle of wires. I cut each wire one at a time then shorten them and soldered. But mostly went by the color of the wires. Took some break cleaner on a towel and wiped them off if they were full of dirt/grease.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

thats a ton of work but it will be clean... now for the clean factor i would ditch the ac (hey its a soft top) and then do an alternator relocation. also, I would maybe ditch the power steering or come up with a custom set-up to mount that in back to... that would really bling up the engine bay and it would also help in keeping your bay looking empty

Re: Project Fast Spyder

I have been debating about the AC. I will keep power steering for sure because Im a pussy . As for the AC we will see how often I use it this year and that will deside if I keep it or get rid of it.

Re: Project Fast Spyder

Thurs Jesse came over and welded up the brackets for the driveshaft. I didnt realize that the carpet fell back into place and was right where we were welding...

I was scared and wasnt thinking and put the fire out with my hand . Now I have like 7 blisters from being burned. But just another reason to start on the BLACK interior project.

Anyways Sat before the dyno day I bolted up the rear end, and today I finished putting all the suspension parts together.




I wish the car that this came off of wasnt soo rusty but owell.

I paid less for my SCM61 than I paid for my 20g.
