As some of y'all know this car is completely tore apart. So I figured while it was apart why not add another project of rewiring the body harness of the car. With the help of a few fuse blocks, a few relays, and leash electronics pro street board. This car will be back to normal again. I'll have headlights, tail lights, turns, hazards, brake lights, wipers, locks, windows, radio, gauges, holley efi, won't have power mirrors though but that's ok with me.

So I got some more wiring done today it took me a little bit to get my approach to this little project but I think it turned out pretty well. This harness will provide all the inputs I need for the leash pro street board.

So the wiring is movin along as I got time last night to fiddle with the car some. Mounted the panel back into the glove box area in the dash. Began running all my input wiring from all my switches and such from the driver side. Now only thing left is the output wiring for the lights and such. April 7th is coming quicker then I'd like it to still so much to do lol.

Yes it is warm out and I’ve had the car running and driving for a while now. Got my personal best on the car with 93 pump gas and 12lbs of boost at 9.93. Decided it was time to switch to the dark side and go e85. Now that that’s happened added a few more lbs of boost and it’s down to 9.60’s. My local track decided to start their own list race per say. They are doing top ten list for guys where it’s to the 1000’. When the list started I was number seven and able to hold my own. After last week and last night I’ve fallen to number 9 still trying to figure out why the car is wanting to bounce off the rev limiter on after I launch it. Anyway here’s some recent pictures of the car for you guys I know I haven’t been around much.

Of course to me a 1.44 would be spectacular.

You're on a different level than I am though. Shouldn't you be running 1.10's
