kecam Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Got the car rewired by an auto sparky from headlight to taillight including semi de-loomed engine bay and dash rewired. Came out looking very very tidy. Forgot to get pics though. Have put the front brakes back together with new brake hoses. Wired the battery to the boot. Cut and fitted sun visors recovered in black vinyl and refitted rear vision mirror. Put driveshaft in and mounted gearbox shifter and replaced gearbox oil. Have put on the front trims (grill, headlight surrounds, beazels, under grille trim etc) all sanded and painted to match. Was a bit of a mission because i've incorporated the different front ends of the ke20 series into one so had to do a lot of modifying to fit. It also leaves me room to use a huge combination of different fronts, I have a variety of grilles I can use All side windows I tinted 35% and are now in Image before 165s were on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowlancer Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Holy shit I love mass updates. Cool wagon man. Be interesting to see it on those wheels and finished. Plan for engine? Probably mentioned it but was a bit of an overload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bistro Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 very nice build you have there mate, and no expense spared either. very nice also, good idea for 165s. im not a fan of making the car fit your tyres and having putting hideous flares on. stretch win.

kecam Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 hey man sweet carwhats the deal with getting a car rewired by an autosparky? how much work did he have to do and how much did it cost if you dont mind me asking I got it done as a cashy through a contact. I could imagine it being really expensive at shop rates. I couldn't take my car into a shop at the stage it was in aswell. The wiring was fucked to put it lightely, lots of extra wiring and old alarm systems and killswitches and stereo bullshit. Badly soldered and joined wires everywhere. Pretty much got him to rip out anything that didnt come factory and rewire it using the existing wires. He connected it all properly with terminals and crimping etc and just got it to the stage where it was as tidy as could be with everything working perfect and left the aftermarket (sounds etc) up to me to install over the top of the clean wiring. I think it ended up costing me 280$? 2 full days labour + materials. Holy shit I love mass updates. Cool wagon man. Be interesting to see it on those wheels and finished. Plan for engine? Probably mentioned it but was a bit of an overload I'm a student this year so have no funds what so ever. Short term looking at keeping the 5k and doing a bit more to get as much power as possible out of it, currently putting out about 85-90kw. Don't know about long term yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kecam Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Cheers for the comments guys! @ AE25 - Damn I had trouble finding any 175/50/15s but in the end i'm real happy with the 165s, at first I thought they were too much of an overkill but they don't actually looked too stretched at all It was quite hard to put them on the simmons because they have a higher bead line apparently.
