Im using my SC harness. Thats the Jdm harness on the hoist, its kind of hovering over my sc harness so I can grab the different plugs for the sequential selenoids, and track them back to the ECU plug. My SC harness is still pretty much intact.

Finally got my springs today. And my Fmic. Its the smaller one that Vibrant makes but it good up until 500 Hp. It fit perfectly without any modifications to anyting. Im going to cut the 2.5 inlet and outlets off tonight and put 3 inch and angle them to the front of the car to make the plumbing fit a little better. My local supplier has a jdm downpipe in stock so Ill probably purchase that as well and just fabricate the rest of the exhaust using the HKS muffler.

Thanks guys! I had to pull my motor back out to put a helicoil in my stripped out drain plug. It was just sitting in there so it wasn't a big deal. I got a bunch of 45 and 90 3 inch vibrant aluminum bends....only to come out 1 90 short and 4 45's too many at 1am. LOL...Finished about half the plumbing. But the engine is bolted in, driveshaft and all that good stuff. Still have to put my radiator in, figure out my power steering, brake booster vaccum supply, and pin my ignitor wires into there plugs at the ignitor. The rats nest above the turbos is just the wiring for the different solenoids there. I am makeing a seperate harness for the sequentials so if I go single Ill just yank that subharness. I have to still put it in loom along with my coil wiring. I stumbled across a GS300 at crazy rays and chopped the coil plugs off. I felt bad for doing it but they were from this century and stilled had a lot of life left.
Unfortunetly I have to get my shoulder operated on Tuesday morning. Ill be out for about 2 months so my project is going to have to come to a hault unless I find some time this weekend to finish it. My parents are flying up from Floridia and our power just got turned back on tonight at home from Irene so I have a disaster to deal with. I was so freakin clooooooossse. DAAAAAMMMMMN!
P.S. If you ever fabricate any plumbing use roll bar padding the same thickness to connect your parts, It works great.

Got a factory wing off a trunklid on ebay and had it painted, painted my upper cover too. Came out pretty good. And the last shot is where she sits in my driveway until I am fully recovered. Hopefully in about 6 weeks.

Prime example of determination and focus...nicely done! What color did you have your valve cover painted? On a side note: good luck and a speedy recovery with your surgery...don't worry about the car, it'll still be there-don't rush the recovery, your shoulder will thank you later.
