Yeah I hear ya, if its at all feasible it would be cool to see what your work thus far yields in HP/TQ though. It can help others who want an idea of what they need to do to attain a certain HP goal.Quote:

Thanks guys. I took the pictures.
Nice! Originally saw on stance works, but assuming you posted here, I logged in shortly after to say that last alley shot is my phone wallpapler lol.

Awesome pics Jigz! The car is looking awesome. My wife and I were in the same exact alley taking photos for her client that night. We were there around 5:30-6:30. Would've been crazy to have you guys roll through all randomly. haha
Jon, we were there around 1am. We wanted to profile the Chicago theater but the sign was off. =(
My photog buddy that came with us to the cruise last weekend took some pics of the car and GOD DAMN!!!

Been a while since update. The car is down with a spaghetti of wires hanging over the front end of it. I got about that far in the past two days only working on it about an hour a day. I have been too tired to chug along. The fact that I have all winter makes a huge difference tbh. haha. it'll get done though, no worries. I'll take pics either tomorrow or Saturday.
Right before I took her apart, i actually got a feature from carsxhype.com and the feature dropped on their webstie this past week.

Congrats Jigz, looks like your hard work is paying off!

Thanks man! That's flattering. It's all about performance now, as soon as I get a house, I want to completely tear it down and replace front and rear subframes, all the arms in the rear, new coilovers, 4g63, built trans and an LSD. As soon as I hit 300 whp ill pretty much leave it alone.
That's how I have mine wired up as well but the car looks really good!Quote:

Jigz, are you still using the wrx injectors or the evo injectors on the evo fuel rail?
Wow, car looks fantastic.
I love this shot right here:

I can't believe I missed this. congrats jigz!
Update on things. BabyG has been down since the beginning of December. I had a battery ground issue and I went ballistic and instead of just fixing the ground, I pulled most of the wiring out after the fusebox. haha. So anyways, I ahve been on and off working on the car the past couple of weeks but today, i have gotten as far as cleaning up all the wiring from the turbo build. I foolishly drilled through the firewall during the turbo build for the oil PSI sender wiring, the wideband ground, and the knock sensor because I wanted to get it done. So now, i correct my wrongs. I got all the wiring re-ran correctly and everything goes through the fender apron now. much cleaner and under the dash is virtually cleaner as well. I also pulled out all the auto trans harness wires up to the fuse box.

On the fence about hiding the injector loom out of sight, but I might just clean it up, the #4 injector looks like a PITA to get to if I had to extend injector wires. But you never know, I might get bored. I am just waiting on my battery relocation kit and the water temp hose adapter and wiring before I can loom and wrap the harness up.
On another note, I tend to get bored with wheels. My buddy has a set of Battles in 17x9.5 +15 from his 240 so i decided to test fit them to see how the fitment would be with my alignment specs with a wheel that aggressive.

Too much poke for my tastes. I may powdercoat the faces on my current wheels. The fitment is perfect on the 17x9 +24 with my current alignment specs so even if I decide to go up to a 245/40/17 I can keep the adjustments to a minimum so I will most likely keep the current set-up. Flares are not an option for me.
As she sits when I called it a night tonight.

Won't have an update until the end of the holidays but no worries, I will have some updates shortly after the new year! i cant wait to drive her again.
if you choose to sell the mustang reps, i'd be keen to buy. shipping will bend me over but i think it'd be worth it, seeing as those wheels dont exsist over here.
love your work, ill keep following intently
I got a bunch of parts for christmas and this includes my UICP. Now I am on the fence if I should even tuck it or if I should just clean up the harness now that I got all the auto trans wires out and got the aftermarket wires and the knock sensor wiring ran through the loom. All I need to get all the parts are my poly engine mount bushings, timing belt and BS belt along with all the tensioners, water pump, and the LICP. Tune has been scheduled for the 30th of March. Dyno tune this time. I got a lot of work today and I am honestly leaning towards forgetting the wire tuck and concentrate on the other things.
well, you already got the loom open finish the tuck.
After seeing the rats nest multiple times in numerous galants/3g eclipses from factory I would say finish it if its already opened as well. However do this when you have the time to sit down and put your focus on it as if you miss one grounding wire that can affect spark and whatnot. If you dont have time now, patch it up and wait until you can focus on just that. Cars not going anywhere.
Couldn't say it better. If u can't dedicate time for it and focus on it then there is always another time.Quote:

Got the car running this weekend. Sprung a fuel leak on both ends of the return, replaced the clamps and it stopped the leak. But for good measure going to buy some fuel hose and replace it just for peace of mind.
I pretty much got the engine bay buttoned up. I only have a few more things to do.
Run the catch can hoses and permanently mount the catch can
Purchase and install the ETS LP2 LICP
Re-paint the valve cover
Do the timing belt, BS belt, water pump service
Re-title and register the car
Wire the reverse lights, anyone got the pigtail for the switch laying around?
I'm getting close. I'm confident I'm on time for my tune on the 30th.
To leave you with, two pictures.
I have no problem taking pictures of the engine bay anymore
