Heyyy-oooh

I need some male/female plugs to add into my coil harnesses to make them able to be removed easily instead of hard wiring. Any ideas? I’m not even sure what to google. I’m not even sure what day it is anymore either, sooo please forgive me

Weather packs?

 

[RangerJoe]

You can buy the weather packs with short leads already installed if You don't want to buy the tool to crimp them. I used them to wire my nitrous stuff so it can be removed from the car for n/a events and insurance pics, .

Well guys, it's been a month since I last posted in here. Short story is it's because I got nothing for ya. I eventually ordered some weather pack terminals, but they arent here yet.

I text the powder coater weekly, still nothing. I got a little short with him yesterday, basically said every week for the last 3 months you tell me "next week". His response was a little less than comforting, saying "maybe this week". If it doesn't happen this week, I'm going to go pick everything up on Monday. It's been 15 months and if it hasn't happened yet......

I really just want to put this thing back together an move on to other stuff.

Yep. He’s doing it basically for “free” so I don’t have too much of a leg to stand on.

 

[General karthief]

Yea, right! He put that stuff on his car to 'test the durability'
He's just not done testing yet

Paying customers always go to the front of the line. Sloths get impatient with how slow the "free" line is. Best of luck bro!

Yeah, I get that. I've offered to pay market value 5 times now, including this week's exchange. He won't accept it though.

Time to move to someone who wants your money.

Well, I just went and grabbed all my parts back. I’m really really disappointed. I think at this point, I’m going to just bolt everything back together and make it run again. For the moment, I don’t give a flying fuk what it looks like.

 

[Noobz347]

I'd clean it all up and wrinkle paint the out of that stuff. It'll be 2 years before you have to think about the powder coater again.

Im thinking about coating everything myself. The gun is $75 at harbor fright, I can get an oven off the local garage sale page for $30, and the powder is roughly $15/lb. It can't look worse than it already is.

Paint goes along way . But I’m glad you stuck to your word

Ive got another guy I know that does coating that I'm talking to now. Going to give him a shot on the intake/spacer/elbow and maybe buy the sht to do the brackets and whatnot myself. Then, I could do all the stuff on the truck...

 

[a91what]

That's how I do my stuff, hf powder kit and an oven off the roadside.
