Looks like it's coming long. ![]() Did you ever locate the correct ECM for it? |

Things are starting to get together, and the old ToDo list was getting a bit.. out of date and scraggly:![]() So, I went over the car and rewrote the list, as detailed and thoroughly as I could: ![]() Then, a couple hours later, some of it was done! ![]() And of course, a few things had been added. Par for the course. The steps to completion all fit on one white board... |

Electrical Summary of the car: The ECM is out of a standard car, and is identical to the one in the white standard (eng/trans donor car). The engine wiring harness stayed with the body (auto 4dr), with a few modifications:
The wiring harness for the dash stayed with the body as well, and there are a few unused connectors from the transmission stuff. Nothing that needed to be added, I think. I did add wiring for a rear-window-wiper (not hooked up yet, but the wires are there now!) and wired in the stereo properly. Also added a usb/12V charging port thing a friend gave me. It's been a long project, and I have photos and videos of most of it, but until I go through them all, I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff! Lots of fun ...

It's been a hell of a year. almost 5000km in, and put the fancy-winter tires on it this week for yet another highway mountain pass drive. a certain GG expert has been instrumental in getting this thign on the road. Check your grounds. And listen to myredvert. Oh, and don't start the car, move it 15 inches, and shut it off, when its cold. It doesn't like that and will tell you about it. Still lots on the to-do list, but it's a daily driver now. Fewf. |

Certainly not a low mileage driver! My oil change sticker suggests February or 5000km, and I'll hit another 5000 long before that! Some of the miles are unusual, I've been making weekly ish trips to the city 400km each way.. But I drive about 25km each way just from home to town each day too. Thus the sprint
