My KLZE Festiva Build Thread

[Damkid]

I didn't get to putting the interior back in just yet, i wanted to completely finish the wiring first so i spent the past couple hours doing that

This is as much of the wiring that will be seen, i'm not sure how else i can re-route it to hide it better, but i'll be taking the intake off again so i'll try then to see what else i can do



This is where the wiring comes through the passenger side



I bolted the ECU into the stock location using the brackets off the stock ECU (they were interchangable ) and i ran the wiring over the heater core to get to the ECU and i think it looks pretty dam good like that, it'll be nice and hidden and out of the way

You can see the stock ECU connectors still hanging un-used, which they'll probably never get used again :lol:

^^I'm hoping for the first week of April to be driving it so i can work out all the bugs before i beat the crap out of it at the track :lol: i gotta keep in mind the engine probably hasn't run in a few years at least so i gotta be easy on it at first

i think we need a wiring diagram for lazy people like me...looking great, cant wait to see its first day out

I can't wait to see how that 4cyl diff and phantom grip hold up. if you have good results i may go that route after a while, but maybe with and Mfactory torsen style LSD.

If you attempted this swap, i'd help you through the wiring

I'm sure the diff will hold the power no problem there, i'm considering buying an mfactory diff as well for my spare tranny

I also picked up a nice shiny intake pipe that i'll be putting on tomorrwo so i can let it run longer for a better video

It's been 4 days and still no video Chris :lol:

[Nerd Racing]

^^ its all those pesky clutch adapters I bet!

[ChrisDrives121DA]

That car will be an icon.

I still need a couple intake hoses to hook the MAF to the intake for it to run longer, won't be much longer though

^^ its all those pesky clutch adapters I bet!

well that did distract me a bit today :lol:

That car will be an icon.

That would definately be cool




I started today with it looking like this



And now the interior looks like this




I finished re-connecting the wiring and fired up the car again to make sure everything is still connected right, which it is the only wiring i need to do is hook up my tach and heat gauge

i installed my strut bar and it just barely clears the intake




I also got all the front end pieces installed, i put the axles in, lowered the coil overs so its now back to ride height, getting very close now
