Huge progress this week. Got another 35lbs of wiring removed from the car. For a total in the 80-82lb range. WOW. Also removed the rear bumper, rear bumper cover, rear tail lights, head lights, front valance under the lights, front bumper, front bumper cover, both front fenders, all seat belt tracks, all seat belts, passenger seat, speedometer cable and a few things here and there.
I also made huge headway with the wiring harness, removed the MPI relay and made a connection to the ecu for the first time with my skimpy harness. I have to say there is nothing left in the car. It is sweet. So having the fire was a good thing. Not to mention all the weight I shed off the car. I think I lost around another 150lbs off the car this week. If I did not have the large cooling system, I would go out on a limb and say the car could be under 2000lbs. SWEET.
I have decided to go with a racepak dash and datalogging system. So the last of the stock dash and gauge cluster had to go as well. It will be pricey, but it offers so many things that dsmlink cannot. The new ignition will be here tomorrow and I am still waiting on the new fan. I still have to make a trip to the junk yard to get a plug for the ignition and four new injector connectors, but that should be easy. I also have to still remove the burned cooling lines and measure them so I can go and get the replacements. Next week should be a busy week and I think the car will fire.
I just have to rewire the knock sensor and coolant temp sensor, as they were tied in with the stock dash harness, and now I am getting DTC's from ecmlink for them. No big deal, I had to rewire both on the mirage when I had it.
Keep your eyes peeled for a start up video.
