I did it to my s-13 4 years ago,but got tired of freasing on the way to work so i sold it

You can still have heat man! Leave the Heater core and put a fan behind it on a switch.Bam ! Generic heater

What fusebox? hehe, no fuses needed when you are running straight wires... kidding but It's relocated to under the headlight. When it's going into the paint shop I'm redoing the whole fuse box and then gonna be redoing the interior. Do you like what I did with the wiring harness... relocated.

If you were to go and unplug everything the drivers side would be so simple, for the passengers side if you were keeping the ABS and Cruise Control thats all you would have to extend..

Actualy i was going to relocate the fuse box to the center console or the glove compartment. I already removed abs and track etc....So i'm waiting for a good weather to start this project.

So how many wires are there after you remove the abs? I mean from the fuse box to the front. I know half of the wires would just stay inside the cabin, because they go from cabin to fuse box and then back ...right?

LOL Whats cruise control?

Actualy i removed even that,nothing worked when i bought this car,CC AC ABS its so much better when you dont have those extra things that you dont need. Well i really needed AC but i wasnt gona pay more to fix it than the car was worth.

I guess i drove my plain corolla for too long(over 10 years) and got too used to that

Yeah, i already removed those things,all i need to do now is to remove the remaining wires.I'm definitly keeping the heat ,power steering and radio ,i even removed the air bag(didnt work either)

I'm thinking of taking out the telescoping steering,(nice chunk of metal )and making it non adjustable.How often do we realy move the steering wheel after we adjust it to our like?
