    The tunnel...

    My electrical nightmare is coming to an end! BTW, I should be getting some very nice goodies by the end of next week if everything works out. It will make all those “dash critics” shut up.


    We removed so many circuits and systems from the car that there is only a dozen of fuses required at this point to protect what circuits are left in the car and four of them are for the ECU by itself! So it is bye bye to the OEM fuse box!



    Finally here’s a picture of what left to hook up to complete the job. As you can see there is a lot less wires and I mean a lot less then when we started! LOL. Some of these wires will not be used in the end and removed. All I can say is this is the most time consuming and labour intensive both in time and money project on this car so far. It’s actually costing me more than the roll cage.

    What is the estimated power to weight ratio going to be when it's all said and done? Looks like there is a lot of weight coming off from the front, which is good, I guess the weight distribution is going to be much better, right?

    Power to weight... Unknown at this time. Need to get it weighed once it is done.

    Actually a lot of weight came off the back end so far and that no good for the balance. However there is still a lot of weight that needs to be pulled out and most of it will come from the front.

    Upholster a track car? Don't think so.
