Project Bodega Beige

Relocated the catch can temporarily to another spot until I clean up the harness better. Didn't take a pic of that.

Finished routing the power steering lines and securing the lines. Turned out great. And also replaced more Oem bolts in the bay including the rusted trans mount studs

Good call swapping bolts for studs, they just make it a PITA when you have to remove that mount or tranny.

It wasn't even my idea but yes definitely a better solution. And a much cleaner look.

Conversion harness removed and ecu connectors are implemented into the harness





Hands are all blistered lol.

I have to figure out what did I short out during this swap because my radio, interior light and door locks are dead now.

MOD is one week away. Need to prep both cars for it.

What about two fuses in yellow pull up slot in the fuse box. I blew one installing leds in dome and map lights.

I think those are the only ones I haven't checked yet. Tomorrow is another day for me to mess with it.

[8thLS6]

Gotcha, hopefully an easy fix.

If I don't fix it now then I'm not worried about it. The car runs and drives. But I have a week till mod so I have time.

She is finally out of hibernation. And it passed emissions. Washed it and was going to clay bar it and wax it but didn't get that far.

Daily got a scrub down and a clay bar and wax.

It passed emissions??


How do people outside of California get away with mods such as the ones on the beige car?

Of course it passed emissions. That's the power of the evo ecu and ecuflash. I can turn off any sensor and any code that pops up and ready up all the obd monitors for inspection.

[Galantman03]

Because I have no emissions in my state.
